I guess they are as delicate as it seems and humidors do alot more than look good and keep the from being crispy.

I have learned alot about cigars but still am a newb in this hobby/lifestyle.
No problem, I am a noob too. I suggest searching or googling "cigar 101" or other related searches to help you out. Cigars seem to be most often equated with wine, and as I am sure you know, good wine is picky. Humidors are very important to have if you plan to smoke enough to warrant them, or you like the smoother more rounded taste of an aged cigar. If not, I say stick to buying some from your local B&M (Brick & Mortar) shop. This will allow you to just enjoy the smokes without the extra care just yet as well as talk with the regulars to gain knowledge. I saw in another post that you mentioned some Opus X at a friends shop... first, dont spend that kind of money on fine cigars at this level. Wait until you learn a bit more and ask if your buddy could hold some for you... paid for in advance of course. This allows you more time to learn while your fine cigars age in a great big humidor... and lastly, use the search for questions, ask questions and read online. Good luck and welcome fellow noob!
