What's the latest addition to your humidor?

I found out that putting cigars aside for that special moment tends to lead to just collecting cigars. It's a special moment anytime I can light one up and enjoy the moment. But that's me.

Just speaking for myself here, of course, but I have also found that it leads to disappointment. I'm not sure there is a cigar out there good enough to live up to the expectations I put on it when I've saved it like that. I've found the only reason I don't smoke certain ones is because I like to see them in my humidor and after I smoke them I won't see them there anymore. I do eventually get over that though, usually with the help of a few drinks that bring out my, "I just don't give a shit" attitude. Then they all are in danger, the date or the occasion doesn't much matter.

Well, now... I was saving some cigars for a special occasion - and lookie here! It's a special occasion! No better reason for me to torch one than an old friends return!

A couple of Flor de Oliva non maduros.

Picked these up at my favorite Smoker Friendly. I've never had the Red Witch or the Undercrown so I'm pretty stoked..

Got these from J&R's. "Imitation Cubans".. I was told they're decent smokes, the price point was dead on, and it got here in about a day. All pros in my book.

Was in the big city on Tuesday and stopped by my favorite B&M:

4 x Tabacalera (Phillipines) They're about 6" long and maybe 28 gauge.
1 x LfD Chisel
1 x Casa Magna Colorado Robusto
1 x Rocky Patel The Edge 'Habano'

Just bought a box of Partagas Black Label Tubos to my humidor. I'll let them rest a month or so then fire one up.

My first cigar bomb from a BOTL on here. Thank you again.

Wow. That is some nice stuff there, someone got you good. Enjoy it all thoroughly kind sir.

It's unfortunate that photo's were posted. Bad form. At least the sender wasn't identified.

[kingbeefy]

I think it is cool to see what people get sometimes as long as the sender is unknown it seems like there would be no harm.

Good for you.

[kingbeefy]

Good for you.

Thanks?

I probably should explain further that I'm not trying to be contrarian, just trying to carry a conversation regarding that specific subject to help me understand why it is considered bad form here. I know you explained to me one time that the members here didn't like to have things like this posted to keep them from being hassled by moochers, I do understand that, but if the sender remains anonymous there wouldn't seem to be any potential for that to happen to the sender.

You're right that the sender was not directly identified with the pic. That doesn't mean he's not identified though.

There are other factors besides exposure to moochers, like......what if you sent bombs to a couple of people. Would you want them comparing the "quality" of their bombs? All it takes to get that kinda shit started is one pic. Now, consider that maybe you've been a member of the board for several years and have sent, seriously, dozens of packages of cigars out. This could embarrass the sender, cause hard feelings etc.,etc.....

Personally, I make a post saying thanks to the brother....unless there is a note that tells me not to, which happens more often than you might imagine.

I appreciate the explanation. That all makes sense. Thanks man.

I was cleaning out the basement yesterday and opened an old cooler that I thought was empty. Inside were five boxes of cigars that I had forgotten that I had. :-).
