storage, rehydrate, can I enjoy?

**Steve2u42** · 10-25-2009, 11:18 AM

I am a Padron fan but by ordering a case, it gets expensive but is cheaper than individually buying. I also would like to buy different types with simular flavor but different lengths. If i buy 5 cases(boxes) my humi is not big enough to keep all those cigars. Matter of fact my humi only holds about 25 cigars, a weeks worth. If i buy 5 cases, can i put them in the humi a couple days before i smoke them and rehydrate them? Will they taste the same as if i smoked them as soon as i got them?

DO NOT store cigars outside a controlled environment, they will never be the same!

Look here >>> http://cigarsmokers.com/t10166-build...coolerdor.html

You can build a coolerdor for about half the cost of a box of cigars... Small price to pay if you're planning on storing that many boxes.

Spend $40 and get a cooler, then turn it into a humidor.

You'll be able to store well over 250 sticks and keep them right.

What he said... especially if you're smoking 25 sticks a week. You can't keep them long enough to even have them stabilize. You sure as hell can't "rehydrate" them in a couple of days, you should be keeping them in your humi at a stable temperature and RH for about 30 days before smoking them.

Didn't you say you just started smoking cigars about 6 weeks ago? 25 a week? Wow!

EDIT:
Ya know, the answer to your question can be found quickly by looking for it. It sounds like you jumped into the "hobby" a few weeks ago and have done no research on your own. I think you'd be much better served by looking for the answers before you blurt out the questions. There's a lot of information on this board, especially about proper storage and conditioning of cigars.

These kind of questions are why we tell newbies to read more and post less.

One you are not with the search function. Learn it you must.

25 a week thats insane. I hate to be "that guy" but maybe you should cut it down. That just sounds like a really expensive habit...25 a week.

**MarineOne** · 10-26-2009, 08:31 AM

Well that's roughly 3 cigars a day .... 7x3=21, so he's prolly having a few more throughout the week to get up to 25.

Still though, I'm lucky to have 3 a week. I can't see 3 a day.

If I had the time, I'd smoke that many. Maybe I have insanity envy.

Consider yourself lucky, Kris - the way things are here in Illinois I'm lucky to get in 3 cigars a month!!!

Man, if you can afford smoking a box of Padron's every week, I'd think you'd be able to invest in a quality cabinet humidor. Maybe cut back to 1 per day for a month. You'd probably have saved enough money to buy a humidor that can hold a half dozen boxes.

Maybe you should change your title from Rampant Digressor

A few years ago, I'd smoke five a day, that's 35 a week....

I think Kevin7 smokes 7 to 10 a day. He mostly smokes cheap $hit so his 70 a week cost less than three of my Davidoff Millenniums, LMAO!

Where'd Steve42 go, did you goons scare him off?

**Roger** · 01-17-2010, 02:36 AM

I am fortunate if I get the time to smoke 3 cigars a month. I could not even imagine smoking three a day... In fact all I could handle in a day is two. But that seldom happens. I be such a newbie!
