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.

again thanks for the welcomes

regarding cuban crafters humidors, would you advise getting one that comes with cigars? such as this one
http://www.cubancrafters.com/products.php/item_id/331

i have a hard time assuming that the cigars what come with this humidor would have any good quality.. but being a noob it would be hard to pass up a deal like this... what do you think?

thanks

well i can't look at your link because I'm at work. we have a filter. anyways, i ordered my humidor off this site and it came with a bundle of 15 Don Kiki Red and Green Labels. I tried one right off the bat and hated it. So i let them sit for a month, and now they're delicious. I will be buying another bundle soon, although I'm considering buying the brown label. I've heard good things. They are good, cheap everyday smokes.
