Your New Year's Eve smoke.

[Silencei2]

The Af Anejo No. 77 is referred to as "the shark" because of its unique shape. It has a tapered head, a round body and box pressed foot that progressively gets thicker from head to foot(50-64). Not really a shark shape but marketing is marketing...I've never seen or heard of any other cigar with this shape. It is the only one referred to as "the shark" to my understanding.

As for my New Year's smoke...whatever I grab. I've learned not to over analyze which cigar to light up over the past few months. I think I'm going to house party so I'll probably just bring a box of Perdomo lot 23's to hand out to my friends that may want one.

If you can get your hands on any Anejo I'd say go for that. I have yet to try any of that line but they are on the top of my wish list.

Sweet, thanks for the info

Now that I've thought about it... I just realized I got one of these from mrtr33 when we met up at the local B&M yesterday I also got another AF Anejo from a noob trade. Thanks guys I'm definitely going to have one of these before I make it out to Sin City.

If Casa Fuente has the Shark in stock it's something like 10 bucks cheaper then most retailers selling them for around $30. At least, that's what I've read.

[Silencei2]

Yea, I found that too... I have found with some research though that some people have picked this up at local B&Ms for as low as $9 a stick. Sorta makes me hesitant of picking up more from Casa Fuente since they are known for charging more than MSRP on all their sticks except the actual Casa Fuente stick.

The Sharks were about $20, the Mojitos were $12.50. Carlos Jr and Sr were there one time, We had already smoked our Sharks and had lit up a Sancho Panza Double Maduro. Sr had the Casa Fuentes sent over to us and actually invited us over to talk for a bit. Sr was very nice, Jr a bit pissy..
Love the place, will be going back just after the first of the year...

Cohiba. Spell that with a capital "C".

I will probably reach for a shark. I really don't pick out what to smoke in advance, but i just got a five pack and one will burn that day.

I'm stuck in the backyard / outside club as well. As long as the weather isn't to horrible I imagine we will end up fighting the cold. Depending on how much I've drank will decide if I reach for a good stick or dig out a rocket. Judging from previous years it will probably be the latter.

+1 ... an 06 EL in my case. Not sure what else I'll smoke, but I'll be starting in about a half-hour ...

I've visiting family in TN and there are very few Tobacco shops where I am. Plus, silly me left my cigars at home. I'll have to see what they have at the local B&M and hopefully find something worth smoking tonight.

I will smoke a Cuban Monte Cristo Sublime, limited edition 2008.
I bought the last box of 10 from my cigar shop, Casa Del Habano, and I have 8 left. I will have Jose Piedra Cazadores for my guests if they are interested. (I'm having a new years ever party at my house)

[cthoma87]

New Years? I'm thinking either a Nepalese Warrior or a Rocky Patel Double Maduro!

[FunkyCold5]

New Year's Eve is upon us. I've had a different craving for my cigar.

Will definitely go for an Opus X, one of the smaller vitolas. Probably, a Perf. No. 5 or a No. 4. I wouldn't go for a Power Ranger, just because if I decide to smoke a second cigar, it will just be like smoking smoke. Power Ranger is too powerful to smoke anything else with less intensity and flavor afterwards.

Definitely will have to go with an aged RASS ('06) or Boli BF ('06). I just need to decide if I should smoke one before the other or what.

I'm setting aside an Illusione 888, a Shark, a La Aurora 100 Anos, maybe a Tatuaje RC184, XXO Platinum, Torano Tribute '04.. who knows where I'll end up

That's an All-Star line-up there. I'm having something that will go well with champagne this evening and save a Winston Churchill Marrakesh for tomorrow.
Have you tried one? Is there anything that you haven't tried? They're Davidoff so they should be good. Can't wait.
