    I don't think a cigar jar needs much prepping. I would just add some distilled water to the humidification device that it comes with then throw your cigars in along with it and you should be good to go

    There's a couple cigars in that list I have tried, and enjoyed. I think it was a great choice to get you started, you can experience a few different brands. One thing I hear is that if you smoke a stick and dislike it, always allow the company another chance before you just decide you don't like their cigars, the flavors can change from batch to batch, or you could of just gotten a badly rolled or bunched cigar.

    Oh, and welcome to the board!!! I know you will enjoy the humor this bunch has to offer, as well as the information!

    Listen to Roham, buy Distilled Water and fill the humidifier. The temp. inside your house sounds just about right to store cigars. You don't want to store them somewhere any hotter than that. Also, make sure and let the cigars sit in the humidor a few days before smoking them. Because they were out of a humidor for a few days when they were being shipped, you will need to bring the humidity back up in them. Enjoy!

    Welcme to the board! From here, I'd just enjoy your smokes, start posting, and read even more. If you end up staying in the hobby, you'll soon be rid of the jar and onto a cooledor (search threads for cooledor info) and humidification beads. You'll also be spending a lot more money than you had ever intended

    If you ever have any questions ask us, and if we've answered it before we'll say search if we're feeling tired. Otherwise you'll have about thirty answers in a matter of a couple hours.

    Again, welcome, and just for you GO CUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Default And what's WRONG about Bluebell Ice Cream!!!!!??????

    There's nothing wrong with a small town. AND THERE"S NOTHING WRONG OR SHAMEFUL ABOUT BLUEBELL ICECREAM!!!!!!!

    http://www.bluebell.com/Default.htm

    Oh God! Poor Bessie! She works SO hard. Day and night at the milking machine. Sucking and sucking her teats! Draing her bone dry just so that you can enjoy THE INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE OF BLUEBELL ICE CREAM!!!!

    YOU BASTARDS! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO HER!!!????



    No, but seriously. There are millions who would probably love to live there if they only could. But then it wouldn't be a small town anymore. Would it?

    Hell, my town is known for the jet engine, shoes, drugs and prostitution. Oh.... I forgot to mention drive by shootings and murder.

    I'd prefer Ice Cream any day.

    Hey David:

    Welcome, and you got yourself a nice sampler! I picked the same one up at Cbid, and enjoyed every stick.
