Humidor / Cigar Combo

[Newfie]

OK, help me out here please. I've been scanning lots of links I got off CS for prices and info on humidors. I saw this at Thompson Cigars and it seems almost too good to be true:

Now, a 125 ct box seems to me to be a good starter size, and I know that's a matter of opinion. Has anyone tried any of the 75 cigars that come with this combo?? The are all made with Dominican tobacco (I think one type has a different wrapper) and they're all mild to medium, basically exactly what I'm looking for as starter smokes.

I mean, let's face it, the right person can describe the taste of burnt steak and make it sound good, so I'd like some opinions from the experts on these sticks.

Thanks in advance for your replies

So I bought a humidor with a front mounted hygrometer. The hygrometer is crap. The whole in the front of the humidor for it is 2 3/4". My question is if I bought this bad boy: http://www.famous-smoke.com/cigars/s....cfm/inum/7133 , would I be able to just put that in for the old one or is this hygrometer specifically fit for this humidor? The one I have now looks just like this one: http://www.famous-smoke.com/cigars/s...cfm/inum/14575 except the numbers don't wrap around as far. The font is the same though.

Should fit, np. The 19.95 one is nice, made in France. That's what you want. My local store sells ones from france to replace the ones that most his humidors come with. And they just slide right in place of the old one.

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. The shops may be trying to get rid of some crappy sticks to unsuspecting Noobs like me. I owe you a couple once I get my set-up complete.

I'm going to the 5 or 6 cigar stores in Windsor tomorrow pricing some stuff to compare to the on-line stores and see what's the better way to go. The Humi shouldn't be an issue to get across the border through Customs, but I may have to get inventive with the smokes. Drew tells me many of the cigars you guys buy in the States aren't readily available on this side, so I may have to go State-side.

Cuban crafters has excellent humidors.Just dont get the one with 75 free cigars they are grass sticks that literally tastes like my yard smells after cutting the grass and rakeing leaves.
Any of the labled cigar humi combo from them is great.Don Kiki gars are not bad and either are the cuban crafter camaroons.

I agree. DK cigars aren't anywhere near the best, but they are decent and cheap. They were some of the first one's I ever bought. They were good enough where I smoked them all, but unimpressive enough where I only bought more once or twice.

I think Cigars International has some humidor combos with decent cigars...

Now I'm not suggesting this as a replacement, I recognize it's more than your looking for but it's the first time I've seen it.

I saw that too. I don't know if I especially like that particular table as furniture, but the concept is pretty damn cool! Makes you want to learn carpentry!

Yeah, I'm not to keen on the glass top, but I like the draw idea. To many end table humidors have lids requiring you to take all the crap like lamps, glasses, whatever, off the top to get at your smokes. That's on of the reasons I like cheaphumidors end table humidor over tampa humidors end table.

I'd get that for around the couch tv area in the game room of the non smokeing section.
If it's sealed well,I might put it in the smokeing room in front of the couch.
I always like that for a cool display area.

For newer members like me, that woul be over kill. Unless a new smoker is plannin on spending hundreds of dollars to fill that entire thing up, rite now i think it would be better to get a 150 cnt.
I saw this one at rockys with made me mad becaause i payes the same amout for a 100 count one. O well.
