The new year is two weeks away! What do you plan on smoking on New Years Eve or New Years Day? I'll be with my gf, so likely I won't be able to smoke. Nevertheless, I'll try my hardest to have a cigar. Here are the candidates:
Padron 1926 40th Ann. Cohiba Esplendidos Cohiba Piramides 2006 EL Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas
What do you plan on smoking? It'll be interesting to compare this to Doc's 1/1/08 thread.
Id go with the esplendido if i were you. as for myself, im still up in the air, right now its an RP OWR, but depending on my christmas gift, it could be a VSG or RP decade.
DAMN, Im Thirsty! I want a beer, how bout you? You want a beer?

My bride and I will be attending one of those package evenings (dinner, New Year's Eve celebration, room and brunch) but the hotel is non-smoking (except our room and I'm not going to sit in the room to enjoy a stick on NYE). So my special cigar(s) will wait for New Year's Day. And although my few CCs are precious the candidates are:
Monte #2 Cohiba Sublime
Possibly a Monte #2 after brunch and a Davidoff Anniversario #3 or Avo 80th before/after dinner.
My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Not quite sure what I am going to be doing yet or what cigars I will smoke. I might go with the Rocky Patel Decades that I was sent or break out the Fuente Opus X that I have. I know Christmas I probably won't get a smoke in so I'm going to save something special for New Years Eve and New Years Day whereever I am.

'97 Monte A? That's got to be a great smoke. Personally I bloody hate new year (probably because I never get invited to any of the good parties), But i'll take the opportunity to have one of my 'big' smokes. Cohiba EL 2006 or partagas EL 2000

When I first bought the box in Cuba these cigars where as green as banana leaves. But a after a few years they really started to develop into incredible smokes. Now they are just downright decadent smokes, and I only have 5 or 6 left.
If my high school buddy shows up for New Years eve this will be our smoke, along with El Dorado 21 year old rum and some single malts.
I had a Partagas EL 2000 Piramide the other day and it was incredible. And the Cohiba EL 2006 is almost as good. Great choices for NYE.

Great Topic.. AS a new smoker, I have the problem of - Do I go with one I know I like, or try a new one that everyone else likes? Maybe even try to get a hold of my first cuban? Hmmm....

That Partagas Piramid sounds mighty tasty!

I haven't tried any of the ones I listed, so I'd say be adventure-some. It's a perfect time for that first CC!
