Ziggy Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Well, after reading several reviews I've decided to dive right in and make my first purchase. How's this for a first go? Montecristo #2 Cohiba Siglo VI La Gloria Cubana Tainos San Cristobal De La Habana La Fuerza Partagas Shorts I got my shipping confirmation and the anticipation is driving me nuts. I think I'm going to need another humidor.:-D Zig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlick Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 It's all downhill from here. Yes, get a bigger humi. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porch Smoker Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Congrats. The anticipation will be even worse when the cigars and sitting in your humidor staring at you every time you open it. But it will be better to let them settle in the humi for a while before smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how strong my willpower is going to be once I lay my eyes on them beauties.:-D Zig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlick Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Rule of thumb is 30 days. I have been known to break that rule and have smoked some very great cigars fresh off the truck. If you go this route, I would smoke one a month after sitting as well to learn what changes happen with a cigar when given a little time to settle. IMO it does make a difference.

Porch Smoker Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I agree with BigSlick, wait at least 30 days. Just hide them in the bottom of the humidor under some other boxes you enjoy. That way you will never see them. A month will go by before you know it. Smoke a few from the box, maybe let them age a while after that, buy another box or two or a sampler so you can let those age while you try others.

Moglman Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Nice Zig! Nothing wrong with that order. Take the advice and let 'em rest. I am working too many 150 qt coolidors, so I have to agree that you'll need more room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
