Got a humidor today!!

[Newfie]

It a 75-100 ct model (nice rookie size I figure) for $154 Canadian, inc taxes and I spent quite a bit of time with the dude bargaining. I ended up with everything you see here in the picture (including a 1/2 lb pack of Cuban coffee). Inside the humidor was also an ash tray, a two finger leather case and a Stainless Steel cutter. I had a cheap plastic cutter with a single blade I got in Cuba, but the good double blade one that came with this is amazing!!!



The lid of the humi has a real nice snug fit. It takes a little pressure to open it and you can feel how tight it is when you close it.

Here's a close-up of the sticks he gave me (he allowed me to pick my own out within a $10 limit each). I would guess they're not very good cigars, but I'm sure they're OK for a Noob like me.



I smoked the one in the tube (Santa Anna corona) on the way home. Very mild and not a whole lot of flavour, but burned very smoothly and evenly with a nice draw. Pretty good to have some around I'd say for working in the garage or for someone who wants to try a cigar for the first time.

Well, I'm going to go check on how the humidity is inside it. Maybe after supper I can put my little treasures inside.

Later all!!
