  1. Default New box in plastic....how to care?

    I just got a new box of Hemingway Best Sellers from Holts in the mail and it's sealed in plastic right now (cedar box shrinkwrapped). Because I am waiting for my twin boys to be born in about 3-4 weeks, should I:

    1. Unwrap it from the pastic and put the cedar box in my humidor
    2. Keep it in the plastic and put the entire package in my humidor
    3. Keep it in the plastic and out of the humidor

    Any advice is greatly appreciated. Wasn't sure of the best way to care for them since the box is tightly sealed and thought maybe I shouldn't mess with it.

    No way man...I have heard these are great though. Have you had them? I really want to try a reserva shark no.77 but even if you can find them they're $30 a pop. I got this box of best sellers (25) for $130 which I thought was a good deal.

    Those are in my top favorites. I put mine in the coolidor, left it wrapped. They were in there about 4 months - no idea how old they were before. I've smoked 1/3 of them and about every 4th one has visible plume. Pretty sweet. You may know this already, but it was packed with a humidifier packet in it. So, unwrapping it really isn't necessary. Congrats on the pregnant with twins.

    The Best Sellers are fantastic, and, like Basil said, are even better with age...the only problem is actually sitting on them when they give you those "please smoke me" puppy dog eyes every time you open your humidor.

    And congrats on the twins! I sure am glad it's you and not me though!

    ....snip
    Put 'em on the bottom. That's what I do with my ISOMs because they give me the same look!
