1.) Padron 1926 80th Anniversary
This cigar tops my list and is something that I save for special occasions as it’s full bodied yet smooth and refined. The torpedo shape helps merge the complex and bold flavors onto the palate. To me, nothing comes close to this masterpiece. Anytime I smoke this stogie I’m in a suit — I recommend our Super 220’s 12.6 micron wool made-to-measure suit to be specific.
2.) Arturo Fuente Opus X Lost City
I always tend to appreciate things more that are tough to find. These cigars typically are sold out before they even hit the shelves which certainly adds to allure but the flavor and smoke surely warrants the demand. Opus X Lost City are grown on the Chateau de la Fuente and aged gracefully over five years in ultra-small batches of only 500 boxes a year. Heavy in the hand, the Opus X Lost City Double Robusto initially presents dominant hints of cedar, a light and gentle woodiness. This is a cigar for when I’m on chill mode and in warmer climates or on a beach somewhere. I recommend wearing our sea island cotton seersucker shirt with super 180’s suiting wool jogging trouser and slip on cashmere suede sneakers.
3.) MonteCristo #2
If I were an every day smoker this would be my go to cigar. This to me is the old reliable. Not too heavy but ultra smooth and sophisticated. Whether enjoying with friends, or solo while reflecting on life, this smoke is quintessential classic. My suggestion is to pair this cigar with our sea Island cotton t-shirt with our cashmere cable knit full zip sweater, dark denim and cashmere suede Chelsea boot.
