Hi everybody! I came here to try to learn some basics about cigars and have a few questions. I hope you don't mind helping me out.

Okay, here we go:
1) Is it okay to store my cigars in a sweatsock with a bit of moistened sponge to keep them humid?
2) Should I be taking the shiny plastic that comes on some cigars off, or leaving it on?
3) I'm thinking of ordering a bunch of cigars from a place called Thompsons. Is this a good dealer to use?
4) A friend just got back from Mexico and says he bought me some cuban cigars called koheebas. He described them as being in a wooden box with a glass top, but he hasn't brought them to me yet. Do I need to keep these hidden so the ATF or Customs people don't find them?

Thanks for all your help!

This is the most blatently intentional post I have witnessed to try to get a rise out of someone. It worked.

Now get the hell out of here before the real BOTLs jump on and chase your sorry little ass out!

1: Yes, so long as you have worn it first so that the salt from your sweat regulates humidity
2: Take it off, lint helps getting the cigars started
3: Yes
4: No, once there over the boarder you're all set.

Tim I got an email from him asking why he was ban LOL.

**valuman** · 03-25-2006, 08:04 AM

Yea, me too. I told him it might have had something to do with posting a picture of Cartman in a nazi uniform and implying that it was the Major!

**badsneakers** · 03-26-2006, 03:18 AM
