Help me pick my cigar for my 60th birthday tomorrow......

Well the 60th has come and slipped up on me tomorrow. Prolly because I'm so old and decrepit that I didn't have a clue. Anyhow, I'm trying to decide what to smoke tomorrow to celebrate along with a jug of Mogen David 20/20 Black Raspberry (Mad Dog 20/20). I have an Opus X #5, couple of Oliva V choices, Fuente Shark and 55, Boli and a couple of choices from HR (larger from an island). I want to thank @allusred , @Old Smokey , @Cocker Dude for supplying some of these fine smokes to choose from.....

Happy early birthday David, sounds like you have several good choices to choose from. I have only had the Oliva V & Opus X Fuente Fuente, both good choices, and hard to go wrong with a Fuente either way.

I can't believe that crazy @Old Smokey sent me 10 of those for Secret Santa or whatever it's called for Christmas 2016. What a guy!....

Kyle is wise. Happy 60th David! All are great choices, an Opus from Old smokey has to go up in flames at least.

Happy Birthday young man ! I think a proper pairing with Mad Dog..... wait, Mad Dog ? Really ???? After an unfortunate incident with Mad Dog in my youth I can no longer enjoy that fine vintage and just the mention of it, well damn now I don't even want a cigar !
Enjoy the day brother - I'm outta here before I get sick

Happy B-Day!!! I would say pour the mad dog down the drain, grab a bottle of 18yr scotch of your choice, and have an Oliva and an Opus...People rarely live as long as you have, so you need to really celebrate...:partygrin::chug::stogie::chug::stogie ::partygrin:

Happy Birthday David!
Those are some fine options to choose from! If you only choose 1, either the Opus or the HR. But Kyle does have a point, it's your day so indulge and get a few in!!

60? @allusred has underwear older than that. Show him a pic Bob.

Seriously, Happy Birthday David! Smoke an Opus, slab of ribs and a beef brisket. Call me if you need assistance. I know a guy, who knows a guy. As far as Mad Dog 20/20, be careful. That stuff can make you blow your stomach contents out your nose.

After much consideration, I'm going to recommend the Black N Mild.
Failing that, the Swisher Sweet King.

There is no wrong answer here! Personally I'd light up the Shark. But, hey, it's your Birthday!

Enjoy and post some pics of your choice(s) and the Mad Dog 20/20 for Tony.

I remember getting sick on Mad Dog 20/20 in my youth. We would hang out at the liquor store until we talked someone into buying it for us. I got SO sick on that stuff! I remember puking and having to use scissors to cut the puke stream. If you cut it too far from your mouf, the rest would sling back into your face.....

You can puke and puke until you puke up a little brown circular thing. You have to quick swallow that because it's your a$$hole.

Boones Farm Strawberry Hill, California Coolers, Bartels and Jaymes. We both blessed and cursed to have those around.... To this day I can't drink sweet drinks, but man did they do wonders for the ladies!

Goodness David, I do most sincerely hope that you have not taken to drink and are now unable to understand text in the original High Mandarin Orange language of your childhood. As would seem the case you when posted this:

Reply from Him: "Wuz aw maizes et furst.butt pon redin agin kin see yew din, lak ah furst thunkyew sayed them were *cooties."

Reply ( second line ) from Him: "Wal yew bit older now, preci et thet glowin shine a thur Smokin Monkey's Sweet Innercent lil Girfrend's Monkey shines."

Translation by Dr. Xue Ming:You are a bit older now, and appreciate the glowing shine of Smoking Monkey's Sweet innocent Little Girlfriend's *Monkey Shines.*

Reply third and fourth lines from Him: "Dem whut upped stx en moved fur ways wen S. M. furst arrove."

Nows miisin out ever night wen yew a fiiddlin thar an S. Ms Girlfrend's screamin wit Joy th hole night tru.

Translation by Dr. Xue Ming: Those who packed and moved far away when Smoking Monkey arrived.
Are now missing every night when you (Droy) and Smoking Monkey's Girlfriend are screaming with joy the entire night."
