OK, first off don't let this keep you from posting your top five selections to Monk's Top 25 topic -- a neat idea and great thread so far. ... BUT I got an idea for this topic from something buried in another thread. Simplifying it a bit, my question is this: What three brands and vitolas would you stock if you knew you'd be shipwrecked with three and only three CCs? Mine would be Monte 4, PunchPunch and SLR Regio.
LOL! You've got me doing a rethink already, Monk, as you are right to suggest one would have all the time in the world to finish off the big guys! My thinking -- certainly with the Monte 4 -- was more along the lines of what tastes could I simply not do w/o. One related thought: Some of those big vitolas might take more aging than would be entirely desirable on a desert isle! Assuming the appropriate box dates, I will say that the Sir Winston is surely the most sublime big boy I've ever smoked.
