  1. Default Noob here..

    Hey guys. I'm fairly new to the whole smokers thing. Been smoking cigars for the last 3-4 years. But I don't know much. I always been a fan of Acid Cigars. But slowly been exploring other brands.

    Recently found a nice cigar shop here on the Border of Mexico (to much surprise) so I'll be able to go pick up singles a bit more often.

    My father got me a humidor for my birthday turning 26! (brother kept ours when we lived together). He is going from cigs to cigars so we're starting to trade cigars and learn together.

    I know cigars and scotch/wine tend to go together.. Thankfully my wifey is exploring scotch (which I enjoy) so hope there is a little liquor talk thrown around here to pair with. I'm slowly getting her into enjoying cigars too. But it's not easy lol.

    Anywho, hope to learn!

    Thanks

    Welcome from Bitterville

    That's a funny screen name.

    Also, since you claim to be here to learn: Get those Acids segregated from the other cigars. Especially the Padrons...

    Thanks! Actually those Padrons are my fathers favorites right now. I kinda like em too.

    As for the screen name.. My bank is located in Colorado. I'm 3 miles north of the Mexico border where ID theft is very common (along with money laundering) so if I tend to spend more than $150 my banks decline my purchase until I call to confirm I'm spending money at X for Y amount. PITA.

    But I'd also like to add, I also currently looking into smoking pipes. I like the art of a pipe and tabaco blends. I have a pipe and filters. Need to get back I to it again.

    Hi and welcome form SC.

    Like Will said separate the acids from your normal cigars.
    Every now and then i smoke a java or a isla del sol but i keep them in a separate humidor so the infused flavor don't mix with normal cigars.

    Ops i forgot that humidification block you have is way to big for your humidor.
    If you keep using that you will want to keep a eye on the humidity.

    Welcome from Ottawa, Canada, where the lone Acid is kept in an old cigar tube, wrapped in plastic wrap, in a zip-lock, in a portable humidor, in a box, in the basement.

    Welcome from central Oregon.

    While some enjoy scotch with their cigars, I wouldn't imagine your ordinary glass of wine would pair with a cigar. I enjoy port with cigars, at times, but not a normal white or red. Just my personal preference.

    Keep your pipe tobacco separate from your cigars as well.

    Echoing everyone else's advice - keep your Acids away from those Padrons.

    I, too, echo the sentiment you should keep Acid's separate from the Padron. My suggestion, though, is to bury the Acid's about six foot deep in the back yard...

    Ha!

    The only good thing about Acid cigars is the small percentage of people who make them a starting point.
