^I completely agree.

I keep a 1500 count locker at the local cigar club. At home, I keep a 120 count humidor run with an electronic humidifier. Random sticks live on the top shelf.

Don't forget to season your new humidor.

look on amazon for these books: The Gourmet Guide to Cigars by Paul Garmirian and A Passion For Cigars by Joel Sherman. They are older cigar books and are not full of propaganda like the newer books are.

You still looking for a humidor?

Ha! Didn't realize how old this thread was at first. I might as well have written that statement yesterday as I just finished off a Romeo just now. Still smokin' the same cigars.

My apologies for quoting my self.

To learn everything about Cuban cigars, please refer to the Illustrated Encyclopedia of Post-Revolutionary Havana cigars.

It's the only book that matters. Read it and read it again. You will learn everything you need to know.

It's the Bible of Habanos.

Yes, by Min Ron Nee. It's the the ultimate habanos reference.

Two editions exist: 2003 and 2005. The 2003 had a few mistakes that were corrected in the 2005 edition.
