ISOM suggestions

Should I take my travel humi to keep them in while I'm there? Or should a zip-lock-type bag that I assume LCdH probably will have take care of them for the short time they last?

Ziplock

Ziplock it is. One less thing to keep track of.

Bring a box of gallon size ziplocks. They're great for storing all sorts of things on your vacation. I won't travel without them.

This is fabulous advice!

My wife, organizational nut that she is, brought a bunch of those size in ziplocks and we used a bunch while in Savannah last week (returned yesterday....to snow *sigh*) There's a couple candy stores in the historical district and we bought a bunch of caramel corn at one and some peanut brittle at the other which ended up in ziplock bags. I bought several cigars on the day after we arrived and put them in a ziplock. More to keep humidity out than in....it was 95+% RH there every day.......LOL.

Now that I've seen this in action, I won't ever travel without them again.

....it has saved me from disaster more times than I care to count. It does a fantastic job of containing leaking shampoo, sunscreen and other liquids and prevents wet bathing suits from soaking the rest of the clothes. Momma even used them to organize snacks for the plane (those little 100 calorie packs were perfect!)

I went to LCDH in Orangestad the first day we were there and picked out a few. I realized that wouldn't be enough and went back the third day to make sure I had enough. The selection was not huge, but they were all ISOMs.
Here's what I smoked:

Bolivar Coronas Juniors (2)
Trinidad Robusto
Cohiba Siglo IV
Montecristo #4
Punch Coronations
Partagas Serie D #4
Vegas Robaina Famoso
Sancho Panza Belicoso

That's a great week for me.
I did notice a distinct difference in the flavor of these as opposed to everything else I've smoked to date. Very nice.
I did a lousy job of picking the Cohiba. After I lit it, I realized it had a plug near the cap and it was tough to smoke. The Monte had a very tight draw as well, but didn't seem to be plugged. I reserve judgement on them until I can try them again.
The Partagas D 4 and the Vegas Robaina were my favorites. But, I really liked all of them.
Thanks to all for the guidance.

Anyone know anything about taking your own torch on a plane? They have shitty lighters down there!
