it will cost you a girlfriend, a that nice smell that everyone use to compliment you about on your clothes because you bought those nice sheets that you throw in the dryer.

i don't know if you've heard or not, but most people here are sucked in by cigarbid.com. if you search around there, you can find some really good deals. ecspecially their 5-packs ... and boxes ... and samplers ... well, there's alot of good deals.

as fas as humidors, i think every one agrees that cubancrafters.com is an excellent choice. you can get a 100 ct for 50 bucks. Or, you do what I'm having to do know and buy a cooler and make a coolidor.

You also want to get the heartfelt beads. heartfeltindustries.com. these with keep your humidity perfect in whatever you decide to use.

Welcome...

Just a note about cigarbid. It's easy to get sucked into a bidding war. Before you bid on anything check the prices for the sticks you are interested in at various sites. Then figure your maximum bid and stick to it. You can get some good deals there.

Welcome to the board!! My favorite light smokes are the Fonseca Series F and the Joya de Nicarauga Celebracion lines. Cigarbid is a great place to get cigars cheap, but make sure if a bidding war starts, drop out because there will always be other auctions going on where you can do better.
