Not looking for types to start with. I Know what i like i am more looking to style. Would you start with the 5ers or would you start with a box you like? Would you use it as an oppurtnity to go purely ISOM? Or would you stick with what you know?

The move took a month and the travel was 3k miles (NY to Seattle). The jostling of dry cigars did not do well with the travel. There were a few that were salvageable, mainly of the box pressed variety and a few in tubes or glass. I have been traveling back and forth to seattle for a month and my wife did 99% of the packing. Trust me its not that i am not upset its simply i have come to acceptence, there is nothing i can do about except for start a new.

So given a budget of say 300 a month. for say 6 months. Would you start with fivers? Start with a box? Would you go a cab of shorts? Do they smoke ok fresh? These are the types of things i am looking for answers with. Would you use the chance to go purely ISOM? Or would you combo it? Get a box of stuff you want to age and a fiver here or there to keep something smoking.?
