making my entrance

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.

this one comes with 3 bundles of 25, i'm assuming for 100 bucks they are all cheapies... would it be smarter to go for one with a smaller sample of cigars that would probably be better quality?

FYI...the JdN celebracion and fonseca serie F are NOT mild smokes...very tasty..but NOT mild...


from the SAG catalog....serie F...medium to full bodied...
..................................JdN celebracion...medium to full

eh, i would go with quality, not quantity.

I'd go with the bundles + humi. While soon you'll have all kinds of killer smokes filling that humi (especially if you stick around here), it'll be easier to maintain a constant humidity if your humi has more than a dozen sticks rolling around in the bottom.

Plus, even if the bundles aren't the best quality, their great for when you're out raking the lawn or for passing out to your "non-smoking" buddies at poker parties, etc. No use wasting a top shelf cigar on a guy that can't tell the difference between a Monte No 2 and a Marlboro Light.

I think that would be a good starting point. For $100 you get a quality humidor and some cigars. They probably won't be all that great but hey, free is free. Savoy came out with the dome-top http://www.holts.com/cgi-bin/ncommer...ow_acc_bar=yes after I already bought the one I have now. If it was available at the time, I would have bought it instead. It doesn't come with any cigars though, but I really like the looks of it and I can recommend Savoy because I have one. Anyways I always recommend it. I'll probably have to get around to buying it one of these days.
