What's the latest addition to your humidor?

[Roham]

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. :-).

Wow, what a find!!! Those few boxes are like free boxes if you forgot about them!

LOL

Me too!

I'm waiting/hoping for the day where I have a couple coolerador's and my 500 count all nicely full so I can bomb people out of the blue and participate in newbie samplers, passes and PIF's. Sadly, it's going to be some time before I get there.

Was in Raleigh so I stopped by the Tinderbox and just happened to find a few of my all time favorite cigars and a new one to try.

An Augusto Reyes Family Selection Reserve Gran Torpedo and a few Savinelli Rico y Raro Series Y Double Robustos..

Forget Tinderbox, Have you had the chance to go by JR's Outlet in Burlington? Every time I'm in Charlotte or Raleigh I head out there... Well worth the trip.

Working on getting a box. Burlington's got a few boxes left. Thanks again for the help gg.

I actually don't have a lot of different cigars. I'd have a lot less cigars if I didn't want to sit on most Cubans for at least five years before smoking. If I didn't have a preference for aged ISOM's, I'd only need a desktop humidor with mostly Padron regular series and a few Oliva and Fuente, and that's it.

I know lots of folks like a lot of variety, but not me these days. To each their own.

As much as I'd like to have some 5 year old Cuban's in my stash, that's not going to happen until I can afford to stock up with enough to actually have them last that long.........LOL I have some RyJ Churchill's that are at least 6 months old and should still have some a full year after they were bought. But I'm 100% sure none will make it to two

Mostly all I have in my humi are my favorites.........oddly enough, all the same ones you mentioned. I don't need a whole lot of variety to be happy, but I have noticed as I try more new to me cigars, I find more I like.

I hear you! I was of the same mind as you until I acquired a few "aged" cigars. I have happily burned quite a few of them, but now have a significant stock of 5+ year old cigars (including some very incredible Davidoff's and Cohiba 75th Anni) which I REALLY hate to smoke except in the most special of circumstances.

Stopped by a B&M in Avon today and picked up a few different sticks to try. Hopefully they are as good as I have been told.

FWIW, I don't think properly aged cigars are 'better' - but the flavours are different, and some people prefer those flavours. For example, I am not convinced that Padron 1926's are better with years of age. OTOH, I like to see at least a year (from rolling) on pretty much any cigar.

The thing I have found with the ISOMs that I have had is there is one pretty good taste for fairly young cigars, and then there is a period that they aren't that great, then they come back awesome for a while, then they start to dissipate, and then, people say, the cycle repeats, but over a longer time frame.

So the idea is to buy two boxes at the same time, and sample from one until the flavour is where you want it. That's obviously pricey if you go with the main brands. However, I stayed playing with aging with two cardboard 5-packs of JLP's - smoking from one pack every six months or so and seeing how the flavour changed over a couple of years. (Due to their construction, JLP's are going to be pretty consistent within a box, and age relatively quickly. Consistency between years is another story. :-)

A nice present from my cousin arrived today. Cohiba Esplendido. Now off the enjoy one.

From the Schiphol duty-free - well maintained humidor, decent selection and reasonable prices for an EU airport duty-free:
Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure #1 REP MAR 11
Punch Royal RE 2009 Benelux BLO JUN 09
Cohiba 1966 LE 2011 (no 2nd outer box so I don't know the factory or date - which is probably why it was still in the humidor two years after the super-hyped release. Seals intact, though.)

That about kills my cigar budget for the year!

[kingbeefy]

A few Padrons. :)
