Man, I can't believe people are throwing down 4 cigars a day sometimes!

I just ordered my first humidor (100 capacity) and a little 8 cigar sampler from CI to get things rolling.

Dude, welcome to the board and congrats on your purchase! Post up an intro somewhere and tell us a little about yourself - What does that sampler look like? The humi? What brought you to cigars? And check out the Newbie Sampler Thread!

punch rothchild maddie, halfway through a Coronado toro... mighty tasty.

After a little research, I picked up the Alhambra - which seems to be a reputable humi sold across the net:



The sampler I picked up is the Boutique Torpedo All-Star 8 from CI:

1 - Graycliff 1666 Pirate (torpedo) (6" x 52)
1 - Padilla Obsidian Belicoso (6" x 54)
1 - Cuba Libre Unico (torpedo) (6.25" x 54)
1 - CAO Ltd. Black Gothic (torpedo) (6" x 52)
1 - El Mejor Emerald Torpedo (6.5" x 54)
1 - 5 Vegas Classic Torpedo (6" x 54)
1 - 5 Vegas Gold Series Torpedo (6" x 54)
1 - Rocky Patel Connecticut Torpedo (6.5" x 50)

Also got a digital hygrometer and some Humi-Care to get me started and borrowing my buddy's 50/50 solution to get things seasoned.

I've been getting into cigars for a while and my go-to is usually a Rocky Patel 1992 Vintage from a local store, I'm starting to expand out and figured why should I waste my money at $6-7 a pop when I can just get a humi and get some good deals on bundles, sales, etc.

Mmh. Vegas robaina after lunch, and then another one couple hours later
Before dinner tried a Cuaba divino, but didn't taste, maybe because i had my mouth full with robaina
Now doing a Cohiba LE2004 (along with a little glass of Zapaca 23)

[Silencei2]

AF Hemingway - Masterpiece, wrapper cracked probably due to poor storage... longest smoke evar!
Padilla 1932 - Churchill, cracked near the tip but I managed to salvage it. Great flavors

[Silencei2]

Ashton VSG Torpedo - Favorite smoke, smoked perfectly
Padron 1964 Pyramid - Smoked perfectly up until the last 2 inches of it... could feel some soft and hard spots in it

Nice smoke, looks like you been lurking around the boards for a while. How about an introduction fellow smoker

[Shervin]

Had a Nestor Miranda Spc Selection Maduro.....all I had to do was wet the cap of this cigar to avoid a frayed mess when I cut into it with my Palio and BAM! Spice city...this cigar burned way too hot, way too spicy (for my taste) and kept going out!!! maybe a few months - years in the humi would do it justice!

[sammis]

Carlos Torano 1959 Exodus box press Torpedo... hmm hmmm good!

with : Tea, Earl Grey, hot
