Ever get sentimental about a thing that's made to be consumed? That's how I am about cigars. I just want to keep all these amazing, irreplaceable cigars forever. Unfortunately, they can have a time where the flavor is at a peak, and then they start to fall off into basically hot air.
The Tatuaje Mummy is starting to do that. These were part of the annual Halloween releases from Tatuaje. The sarcophagus "dress box" was limited to 666 (of course) total, but you could buy the same cigar in a regular box if you didn't get hit with the lucky stick. Today, some people will pay the price of a box of cigars for an EMPTY Mummy box. In any case, a friend gave me one of these cigars to smoke a while back, and they're beginning to get dull.

The next one that hurts pretty bad is the La Palina Goldie Laguito Especial. This series was all rolled by one woman, Maria Sierra, until she retired in 2017. They were released in a different vitola each year in limited numbers. The rumor is that Maria Sierra spent about 30 weeks a year rolling only this cigar. This is the third release. Time to enjoy these, too.

Thus endeth my waxing romantic about stuff that was literally designed to be lit on fire. Sometimes a cigar ISN'T just a cigar.
