I was trying to give him a chance to stock up at good prices before S-CHIP.

Everything has shipped. I have already received the RH beads. The sticks should come in on Monday. I have been working some crazy hours which should end on Tuesday...if this is the case I am going to pick up a few sticks from my B&M and enjoy them with some sweet Kentucky bourbon.

How long would you all recommend the sticks that I ordered sit in the humi before I think about smoking them?

You probably want to let them rest for a week or two, but I always like to try one or two right off the truck (OTT). Is your humi already seasoned?

OK...I am switching the 90s for CAO Cx2 Toro 5 Pack $28.99. This will give me one more brand to try. And don't worry everyone...this is just the first step in my endeavor. I am checking cigarbid right as we speak. Thanks for everyone's input. I truly appreciate it.

padron, oliva, perdomo.... great start!!

You do have a humidor for all these nice sticks, right?

Humidor?

Oh to be young again! Take your time and find out what you like and don't like. That looks like a great selection to start with.
I second the recommendation that you pick up some Fuente 898, if not now, later. It's a great smoke that won't kill you and it's a good frame of reference for your taste and future suggestions.
Never, never let yourself be persuaded into liking something that you don't. If the whole world says they like Don Dingleberries and you don't, don't be afraid to say so.
It's all about what you like.
Most of all, enjoy! And welcome to the slippery slope!

WildBlueSooner · 02-19-2009, 02:01 PM

Just kidding Kreth. I bought a 400ct recently. I even have my wife on board. Traded me starting cigar collection for her buying some dress she wanted. Works for me!

Very nice. I'm not much further down the slope. I started a little over a month ago with a 100 ct, and I may be upgrading soon.

Once you get your smokes, check out the PIF and other trading threads. It's a good way to get to try out some other smokes, especially boutique cigars that you may not find on your own.

jaycarla · 02-19-2009, 03:00 PM

If you end up liking the Oliva G's, you have to try the Special G Maduro. Little perfecto and an awesome smoke.

macpappy · 02-19-2009, 03:20 PM

By my count you've only ordered 40 cigars. They are going to get awful lonely in that 400 ct. humidor. You should sample what you've ordered and then buy boxes before SChip kicks in.

Boobar · 02-19-2009, 02:07 PM

You have a great selection of smokes there. The Lot 23's are good but I tend toward the Lot 23 maduros. I love the Vintage 1990's and the Oliva G Maduros. You can't go wrong with some Padrons in the box either.

Happy smoking.

Glad you mentioned that. I am switching out the 23s for 23 Maduros. Gives me a better mix of nat. and maduro. Thanks a lot.

WildBlueSooner · 02-19-2009, 02:13 PM

This is why I did not order right away. While I know in the end it is what I want, I love to get some opinions. I have already made 2 small changes to my list. Thanks again folks.
