I would like to recommend any of the Indian Tabac line. I have yet to be disappointed with them. The Classic Corojo Cheifs are nice big cigars that go great with coffee. I think they're on sale right now at CI. To get good prices on cigars, you will have to buy a box or bundle. Fivers can be priced OK, but singles are almost always priced full retail.

Cohiba panetelas
Well, I was able to score a unopened 5 pack of cohiba panetelas for $15 at a tag sale, it looks legit. So I guess I am starting with Cubans?! I will try one then some of the others mentioned like fonseca and padron.
My question is once the box is opened, how should I store them? I dont have a humi so would a ziplock bag with a damp cottonball in it work OK or should I do nothing?
i would doubt that you got a 5-pack of cubans for $15....my guess is that they're from the D.R.......

I was able to fit about 12 sticks or so, with a little humidificiation device (I'd suggest you check with your local shop, they usually have left over humidi-packs from Fuente stuff - if not, they usually have the <$1.00 water pillows).

The guy didnt know anything about cigars so I guess I got lucky. I will take a pic of the box tommorow.
I will ask my smoke shop about the water pillows and I do have a bunch of those ziplock storage bowls I can use. I will deffinitly look into a real humi after I get a box of my favorites. The cubans will be rationedI will try that smokers journal once I get some cigars from my smoke shop. I will also see what Paul suggests for me as well.
I live outside of New haven and dont know about the guy who restores the lincolns but I'll ask around for ya. I own a 93 TC but would not mind buying a classic Lincoln.
