Do you hang onto...

I used to save them, but don't any more. None of us are promised another day and I'd hate to leave all my best cigars behind. I smoke them at an opportune time and enjoy them as soon as I can.

This...as life can take a turn rather quickly, but mind you I'll take the time to fully enjoy it.

I don't really save any of them intentionally. There's one that's been with me for a while, though.

Back in the early/mid nineties, a good friend of mine had parents who used to go to Spain a few times a year. On each trip, they would always pick up a box of Esplendidos in the duty free shop for him (they had $$$

). We'd get together for cocktails and a cigar a couple of times a month back then, and I ended up with one sitting in my desktop humidor. For a period from the late nineties until '06 I didn't smoke many cigars, and that humidor became something of a time capsule. Now, that lone Esplendido is all that remains of my stash from the boom times.

It's been sitting there for somewhere between fifteen and twenty years now. At this point I look at it as more of a good luck talisman than as a cigar.
