Another new guy and some questions

**AKMac** · 05-17-2006, 02:58 AM

Hey guys, I'm new to smoking cigars. I work with business jets so I get a lot of *ahem* not so domestic cigars, from some of the nice rich people I deal with as a tip. So far my favorites have been Cohiba, Bolivar, Romeo Y Jullieta, and Monte Crisco, with the Cohiba being my favorite. Though, for being free, they're all great!

I have a small 20 cigar humidor I keep at work that's been working very well. I also have a larger 300 cigar humidor on order.

I do have one question though. Should I store my cigars in my humidor in the plastic tube? Does it even matter? They usually don't stay in my humidor long, but I was just curious about the proper way to store them.

Also, I've been reading a lot about the OpusX fuente in Cigar Aficionado. I'm dieing to give this cigar a try, and maybe give a few back to the guys who have been so generous to me. Does anyone know of a website that actually has them in stock? Thanks!

I store the tubos in the humi with the cap off.

as long as the humidity is between 65%-70% it don't realy matter,that goes for box storage too.

Welcome from the Great White North!

Personally I just store them as they come... in the tube or cello.... its really down to personal preference I think.

Welcome from DC. How is Utah in terms of cigar stores and taxes? Beautiful state, I used to live in Colorado and have been through Utah a couple of times.

Welcome from Florida! Utah isn't too smoker friendly, the best thing to do is make friends with your local B&M's as bluesman suggested & they'll let you know when they come in usually.

Cool, thanks guys. I appreciate the advice. I've got a couple Oliva O Ole, Zino Platinum Scepter Chubby, Gispert Robustos coming my way. I'm trying to find a nice inexpensive cigar, so wish me luck!
