The new NASA project is called "The Hundred Years Starship". It will take astronauts to Mars and leave them there forever. The one-way trip would send astronauts to colonize planets like Mars, knowing they could never come home. NASA Ames Director Pete Worden discussed the potential price tag for the one-way trips to Mars with Google co-founder Larry Page, telling him such a mission could be done for $10 billion. How to get the budget is one question, but where do you find the volunteers for the mission?! Somewhere in the back of my head there's a voice telling me the subject was already discussed within the upper echelons and if I'm not mistaken a press release was made in late July. But what exactly was it? I just can’t remember. One way or another, the volunteers will surely need some good cigars for the lifetime trip, and this is our suggestion:

Macanudo Gold Label Crystal (5 1/2 x 50) Made of rare golden Connecticut Shade wrapper leaves to create a distinctive, new taste. The golden wrapper leaves are harvested from the first and second primings of Macanudo's specially grown Connecticut Shade crop. The wrappers are elegantly thin, yet remarkably supple with fine veins. Their texture is especially smooth, without a hint of graininess. An excellent offering from the prestigious Macanudo line.

The next pick is Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Robusto (5 x 52), with creamy hints of Cafe “con leche” on the palate, it burns slow and sweet with a long ending of chestnuts notes.

Our third offering is H. Upmann Edicion Limitada Robusto (5 x 54). The Limited Edition cigars are masterfully crafted by the world's most talented artisans at the renowned Tabacalera de García factory in the Dominican Republic, with a rare and very limited edition of cigars of extraordinary blend and character.

Fourth on our list is the creamy, nutty and delicious CAO Gold Robusto (5 x 50), seals the deal with its abundance of earthy flavors and rich notes of smoked walnuts.

The final chapter is the Licenciados Wavell (5 x 50). A solid, slow burn and complete with great nutty flavors. The perfect ending to a great sampler!
