Is this a good Birthday cigar?

[ZomB]

So my 40th Birthday is just over a year away. Plan is to buy a cigar and age it myself for a year and some months. It has to be montecristo. I mainly into monte puritos. This looks like a good one? It's the box it comes in that's the main attraction for me...just something a bit special:

In all honesty, save your money. If you have PM?s here, likely someone can/ will trade or sell you a better Monte, with more age, and leave you change for bus fare home and a bag of chips.

if younhavent got PM?s, keep posting and participating and you will.... with plenty of time ahead of your 40th

Thanks. I already have pms.

After much research on the internet, I'm really tempted by these....very expensive but for 3 special occasions? These are rare and can't find anywhere anymore: 1935 Dumas. And free leather pouch!

Hi Zomb, always nice to have an extra special cigar for big birthdays. I think the 3 Dumas & Leather case isn't a bad deal actually, they are great cigars, improve with time & you'll have a keepsake with the case. Of course I have some fine vintage Monte's if you're interested nearer the time but it's a big jump from putritos to Dble Edmundo's, you might want to get some practice in with some medium RG cigars in the mean time!

Oh yes you can, stats show that the over fifties are twenty times more likely to die from Covid if hospitalised. Sorry Banos.

Exactly my thoughts. Zom, perhaps you can stretch your 40th across a 3 day extravaganza? 3 days, 3 cigars. Magic [emoji6]

I’m 30 in June, might be time to light the old gold band Trinidad Fundadores (I think it’s 1999) very kindly traded to me by [MENTION=941]Simon Bolivar[/MENTION]

I did start buying a cigar for special occasions. Now every day needs to be a special occasion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why am I even bothering with regulars!? I will ditch anything less than stellar from now on!
