Lol yes. Stearns and I pretty much figured that out on the chat when I told him it was a 10 pack. Oh well, to be honest I don't mind them at all and they didn't cost much either. And hey, their what got me hooked on cigars, so if I enjoyed the fakes that much.. I'm in for a treat when I start smoking the good stuff!

I like that attitude. PM me your addy, and I'll send you some of the good stuff.

Hey everyone, just thought I'd let you guys know how my newbie adventures are going. So far I've tried the Padilla Series 68' and a CAO Black.


Padilla Series 68'
Really enjoyed it all the way down to the nub. Great construction, band came off easy in the last third and the draw was perfect. I also found it tasted great although nothing overly stood out. Might take a while to develop my palette before that happens though. All in all, a great cigar in my opinion.

CAO Black
Oh my lord.. this thing kicked my A$$! Will diffinitely wait a while before I try another one of these. Was feeling pretty cocky last night after a big spaghetti dinner and thought I could handle it. I deffinitely under estimated the strength of a full bodied cigar. I had a headbuzz within 10 minutes of lighting and could only smoke 2/3 of the cigar.

On a plus note, I really got to experience that peppery taste and also learnt that I enjoy cigars that are mild/medium in strength.

Cheers,
Chris

But now your new humi is a little emptier, right?

Yup send it too me too, and we will see if I can't find a Cohiba or two that you might like. You might as well send me your addy yourself it is less painless that way

I've got some more pics i'll have to post up soon. Been really busy but they'll be up shortly!

Cheers,

Congrats on the humi.... You'll need a bigger one!

Nice humi.

Very nice humidor...looks like you've got a great start...however, it is not wise to show these guys a picture of a half empty humidor...they accept that as a personal challenge.

Lol no kidding, I have deffinitely been learning my lesson over the past week or so.

Thanks for the kind words.

NICE, start shopping for another box.

[RHNewfie]

Here Moosie Moosie Moosie!!

I just ordered the same humidor... also from the imperfects. I ended up getting a digital hygro though, as well as a crystal humidifcation pack.

Hope I get it soon!
