What would they be like? Wrapper, Binder, Filler, Size, Packaging, Names. Would I get a free box for asking this?

Lets hear them, I'm interested to see what everybody would come up with given the chance.
 
Connecticut Shade wrapper, Mexican binder and flavorful but weak, well aged Nicaraguan filler, 7x50, regular rounded shape Churchill, no cellophane, no box press, plain cedar box, and they might be called . . .

Puggy Bear cigars.

As for whether or not you'd get a free box, stick around. If this would ever come true, and I can get more than about 75-100 boxes made, I'll give you a free one!!!
 
I would have a few different sizes , (for different times of the day & time allowed for each cigar, , my morning smoke would be a corona with a Cameroon wrapper , Dominican binder & Nicaraguan filler, not real heavy on the ligero for the early morning cigar , I like to save the kick till late in the evening , for my before lunch smoke it will be a toro size with a Rosado wrapper a touch of ligero in the filller & a dark broadleafe binder , after lunch I think I would like to go to a small shaped smoke a perfecto of some sort but not to big in ring gage a nice medium filler from at lest 4 different areas to give it more a complex flavor topped off with a light candella wrapper., Before supper I think I want to get some fire going to sharpen the taste buds so it will be a spicy blend to stand up to the single malt scotch I will have before I eat supper & by now I think I am ready for a BIG maduro torp shape about a 54 ring by 6 inches, after dinner will be a Double corona , tripppppple corona , or an "A" sized some thing in the 8 inch range & a 52 ring , Maduro for sure , the darker the better a 6 filler blend & a spicy cameroon binder , & when I hit the lottery & get my own cigar company I will be giving away a lot of cigars ! hahaha
Enjoy, Vince
 
Wow, quite a post Vince, from a true professor of the realm. Forget what I said folks, Vince's post belongs in The AmBack/Cigar.com Hall of Fame. That's the way to answer a question like that!!!
 
ill get to this thread in a moment. there is alot to think about here...
 
well what other way could you answer that question??? I smoke a lot of different cigars , for the past 10 years or maybe longer I have had a Don Carlos # 3 for my morning smoke , I still havent found any thing I like better than it , the #4 is Ok but to small & the #2 is way to much for early morning , , I love a rosado wrapper & have just a few of the Prodomo little Rosado profectos left, I dont know what I am going to smoke when theyu are gone, as that cigar is not being made anymore , I might just switch to a pipe ! AGAIN, but I am not a big pipe fan , I did smoke a pipe most of the time when I was in the Navy, storage space was the reason, you can get a lot of tobacco in the same space you would only get a box of cigars , so I smoked the cigars till they were gone & went to the pipe, I was smoking Borkum Riff scotch wisky flavored pipe tobacco back then & they stopped making that ! dammmmm , I bid try blending my own a few times & it turned out fine, but I just like the cigars , a lot better . now that I dont need to worry about storage problems , , , with 11 humidors I have one empty ! dammmmm I am in the need of more cigars , I get the shakes when I see the bottom of an empty humidor , I Dont have the 11K stick I had at one time , dammmm that was a bit overkill, but I like to be able to open a humidor & not worry where my next cigar is comming from hahahaha ! Enjoy, Vince
 
I'm still too new to know enough to answer that well. But I imagine it'd be very much like the La Perla Habana Rojo, criollo wrapper, nicaraguan filler, about 5 x 52, and cheap.
 
im thinking it would have to be a corojo wrapper a dominican binder
with criollo and ligero filler. im really starting to like the strong and spicy cigars.

if i was going to go in a little different direction i may go with a very dark maduro from a connecticut shade. the binder could be honduran. and fillers could include some ligero from countries like Honduras, nicaragua, and the DR. Wrap this baby in cedar and off we go!
A full flavor maduro thats sweet woody and earthy. sounds like a winner to me.
 
If I could take the wrapper, binder and filler of the Por Larranaga PC and make it a robusto size habana puro (5x 48); that would be my cigar. I would have thme age for 5 years before the release and then package them in a thin ceder box to save on the cost. there would not be a fancy band, just Por Larranaga written simply in the middle of a small brown band kinda like the montecristo bands. The statement is that a cigar does not have to be fancy for it to be great.

I agree Bloof, that was probably the most complete, well thought out answer I've ever read! :p
 
you guys are just to kind , i just answer what i feel, nothing special about it, I just like cigars , & when you smoke a few a day ( about 7 ot 8 on an average day) 10 or more on a good day ! , well I have a developed a system to tasting cigars & pairing them with what I am drinking , & it has been mostly coffee for the past few years , I have stopped all the beer & cut back on the single malt scotch to a bottle a month not a bottle a week, but coffee ahhh yes coffee 3 pots a day is the going rate , Kona every Sunday but thats the only time I go for the Kona , Kenya AA, Margoheppie ,Columbian supremo, Italian espresso , I drink them all at different times & different cigars ....... right now I have 4 different blends & 5 different straight coffees in the pantry , who knows what I will be making in the morning, But one thing for sure is the morning smoke will be A Don Carlos #3 !!
 
Forgot to answer my own topic.

Ecuadorian Sungrown wrapper. Mexican binder. Nicaraguan and Honduran long filler with an extra dose of Ligero. A nice spicey cigar that leaves you knowing that you just smoked something special.

Four sizes:
4.5 X 40
5.5 X 54
6.5 X 38
8.5 X 46

Plain wood box with a burned logo on the top. Nice and minimalist.

AJG cigars. Yeah, I like that.

Free boxes for everyone here if I ever get to do it.
