Hey All, I am very new to the cigar world, and am starting to find myself to be a bit lost in certain areas of the subject.
My first cigar smoking experience was so enjoyable that I have continued it since as a way of unwinding and relaxing.
I know little about the differences in cigars, but I am enthusiastic about learning. I plan to purchase a humidor in the near future and begin to grow a collection.
Any help or advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ricky
There are a ton of reviews in the review section by a lot of seasoned vets. Although I usually can't taste the flavors he describes, I don't think I've disagreed with a single review by badwhale. Enjoy. :smiley20:
A coolidor is your best bang for your buck. Search is your friend on this one. I have a 48 quart cooler with beads from heartfelt. Good luck in your search.
First off, Hi and welcome to the board from Alberta, Canada.
The above actually answers a couple of your questions if you're paying attention.Quote:

I recommend doing a newbie sampler with one of the established members who are participating in them here on this board. Again, search is your friend.
I wanna say thanks to everyone for the advice and suggestions. As of right now I do not have the room for the kind of humidor I want, so I plan to start off small with a decent 50-100 ct that I will enjoy. I have noticed some slight differences in blends and tastes. Right now I have put myself on a mission to find my cigar of choice. I have smoked some that were unbelievable and others that were just ok. I have alot to learn when it comes to taste, blend, make, brand, etc.
I'm going to third the coolidor suggestion. It can be used to store most cigars, especially boxes, tucked away pretty much anywhere. Then, a nice, smaller humidor can hold more immediate smokes.
Anyhow, I think a desktop humidor is a good idea, just don't be surprised how quickly that coolidor is needed.
As for the actual cigars, try a bunch from different countries, with different wrappers, etc. and you'll start to figure out what you like.
Oh and welcome from Western Oregon.
Welcome!
After doing a little research, I think I am going to invest in a humidor, and get started on a coolidor as well. I have seen some general set ups for coolidors but am wondering what everyone else's take on the matter is? What is your preferences for setting one up?
Welcome from AZ.

I recently bought a new humidor and had a great experience with the folks from www.TampaHumidor.com. They were knowledgeable and had a great selection at discounted prices. I would highly recommend them, and they ship worldwide!
