    Thanks all for the warm welcome.

    @JiveTurkey lol, the blue light got me. I did smoke one before I bought the box though. You're right about the cigars feeling plugged at the higher humidity. I've noticed that before. I'll probably let the humidity drop a bit if I plan to burn them

    @Craig I had pondered the idea of "sick periods" because of my familiarity with wine aging. The period of time that the wine is maturing from adolescence to a teen is regarded the "dumb phase" and is essentially the same concept. Thanks for the tip

    @Buzz Those boxes are different than mine. Mines a box of #6, which leads me to believe it's worth at least a half mil, but I'd settle for a refill

    @Mangyrat I may have been wearing my goggles. I was fresh off a flight into San Diego. There is a tiny hole in the wall cigar shop called Little Italy I'd patronize on my way out of San Diego. Funny thing is that the shop is owned by Iraqis. Coolerdor? hmmm like a frigidor but in a cooler? Never thought of that before. Thanks!

    Well, after all this cigar talk, I'm pulling a few out for Saturday night. The great thing about South Lake Tahoe California is that it's a five minute drive over the state line to the casinos in Nevada, where they don't have stupid liberal Californian's to tell me not to smoke anywhere near a standing structure. And if someone does, I can blow smoke in their face without the badge wearing tax collectors issuing me a citation.

    Now the hard part, which to pick?

    Welcome from central Oregon.

    Like the others have mentioned, that Padron box might help if you're building a coolerdor. I don't know anything about CAO cigars. I also don't 'store' or 'age' cigars - I smoke them.

    I enjoy shisha/hookas as well. I smoke much less frequently than I do cigars, though. Though I have not tried the sour apple, I do enjoy peach, watermelon and banana. What brand do you like the most? For me, I enjoy Starbuzz.

    A coolerdor is just a cooler used for storing cigars. All you need inside are humidifying devices, Spanish cedar to help regulate RH (such as cigar boxes, which double as trays), and cigars.
