This thread is for us to name a cigar we wish was being made. Could be a combination of leaf/wrapper/nation of origin, or just a new shape.
I'll start it with this: I'd love to see an Anejo made in the same Perfecto shape/size as the FF Hemmingway Best Seller. I think that would be killer due to the flavor transitions the shape creates in combination with that sweet wrapper.

How about an Opus X wrapper and Bolivar filler and binder
I was thinking along the same lines, except Cohiba filler.
I wonder, honestly, if something like this is feasible. I realize that Habanos have traditionally been puros, but why not? I think that would be a really killer marketing idea. I'd certainly want to give something like that a shot.
Taste isn't that much of a consideration, but size would be. I would like a cigar that is about 3 inches long but at a 52 or 54 ring guage.
The purpose is purely functional. I could carry a couple in my uniform pocket without a cigar case and the cigar would have a duration of 15-30 minutes: perfect after-lunch smoke.
Of course, you could say "cigarellos," but I have an image to protect

I wish there could be a cigar made with Cuban and Non-Cuban tobacco sold in he US. I think that would be interesting. Have Pepin blend it.
Yup. Why the heck isn't this happening? It wouldn't be "legal" in the US, but sales of these things would really take off.
My best guess is the people that could make it happen probably lost their farms in Cuba and are still a little pissed about it. I would like to see it, because you know we'd get our hands on some somehow!

The Wolfe's sig is a cigar I want to smoke. It's a quote from Don Pepin regarding the perfect cigar in his opinion. I can't recall the exact words, but look it up on any post from The Wolfe.
