Here's my newest Humidor. Its cherry wood with spanish cedar lining. Holds about 150 cigars depending on size of course. Im about a 1 smoke a day guy so its way more than Ill ever need but I like having a stock. Im pretty picky about what I smoke or drink so I find my favorites and only buy those. These are my 2 favorites.





These are from a local shop that hand rolls them onsite. Great little business and the cigars are fantastic. I like these when Im drinking red wine, scotch, or beer. El Cubano Cigars - Home - 100% Cuban Seed Hand Rolled Cigars Ask for Manny



These are Drew Estate Maduro Java Robustos. I like these when Im drinking anything other than the above mentioned beverages. I didnt have any good pictures of one so I used a stock one. This cigar has a slightly sweet chocolaty flavor



Both of these are great cigars, reasonably priced at about $6-$6.50

It's depressing how this thread has died since moving over here.

I enjoyed a nice Partagas Serie D No.4 a few days ago, a Punch Punch on Easter, and I had a Carlos Torano Noventa yesterday.

Smoked this on the way in this morning. Its a Dominican Cohiba Corona I believe. It was good, but not great. Little spicier than I thought it would be, but was nice and smooth. Also the wrapper came loose up near the ash about halfway through it. Had to cut off the loose bits and it kinda messed up the burn.

Overall it was pretty good.

HeJust finished this before lunch. This is the Maduro I posted the stock image of. Finally restocked. So delicious.

I'm in Guadalajara and my son likes an occasional cigar so I thought I'd pick up some Cubans for him. Anything to look for or stay away from?

Habanos partagas yesterday.



I know this will make some of you cringe, but what's the best way to store a cigar when you don't have a humidor yet (only for 2 weeks max)? Any tips appreciated.

When I travel, I use a small tupperware tub. Just big enough to hold 8-10 cigars. I put a humidifier filled with fresh polyglycol, and drop a hygrometer in with it and make sure the lid has a tight fit. Check the hygrometer every morning and evening and typically it will stay within the recommended range.

I usually open the lid in the morning and close it at night. There might be easier/better ways, but this works well, is cheap and you can set it up in about 5 minutes.
