Need a good cigar for special occcasion

I am awaiting the birth of my first child. I wanted to enjoy the moment with a very traditional celebration (a cigar to take in the minutes afterward). My problem: I don't know too much. Here is what I do know:

1. I had a La Aurora Platinum a couple of weeks back and it was the best cigar I had had
2. I like medium smokes
3. Definitely a fan of the tapered shapes (torpedo, bellisco, perfecto)
4. Pretty much have always stuck with the basics of punch, partagas, macanudo, etc.

I want something special that I can actually get my hands on (lots of lists out there but I can never find any of them). So far my list includes:

Leon Jimens - Belisco
Arturo Fuente Anejo - Reserva Shark No. 77
Partagas - Aristocrat

Any idea where I can get something on the order of my taste that's superb (including cubans since I have family in Canada where I can get them and enjoy them legally)

Thanks!

fish, a soon-to-be daddy! congratulations in advance. :smiley14:

i think that the Fuente Anejo would be the perfect smoke for that occasion. and if you could get your hands on a Cuban, try a Partagas Lusitania. best Cuban cigar ever IMHO, and will sit you down for a good two hours. :smiley1:

Seriously fish - congrats! I hope you've picked-out a good God Father.

I ran across an interesting blog post on the Camacho Diploma Maduro. I gave it a try and it really is an excellent medium-bodied cigar.

It might not be around for much longer, so definitely worth checking-out for a special occasion.
