Just bought my first box of cigars - Page 2

cobra03 · 08-01-2011, 02:01 AM

Congrats on the box purchase! As for the 1844's i picked up a 10 pack a few weeks ago. i forget what size. I like them. they start off mild/med and ramp up pretty good toward the end. For the price they are great and i have had no construction issues yet. i gave one to a buddy of mine who likes milder cigars and he really loved it up until the strength kicked in in the last
3rd and he started to sweat and turn a little green lol. As far as i can tell these are also AJ Fernandez sticks. I cant confirm that for sure but one of the 1844's was in a sampler containing nothing but his cigars on CI.

Thats my next step, to buy a box. Gotta smoke my supply down or upgrade my Humi first though. (Or both)

First boxes are always the best. I remember mine like it was yesterday. The one you get as a gift is right up there, too!!

Fordman4ever · 08-01-2011, 08:38 PM

I will always remember this box. I have yet to receive a box as a gift, but i can tell you that who ever sends me my first gift box will remember the hell that I unleash upon them as a return fire.

Congrats! Revisit this thread one year from now, and see how you are doing then.

A year from now I hope to have a Waxing Moon humidor big enough to hold some boxes and a LOT of singles.

one can dream.

CONGRATZ!!!

I remember my first full box. They were ARTURO FUENTES HEMINGWAY SIGNATURE back in 1998. This is your first big step toward that fork in the road where you will come face-2-face with two options:

Option one: CABINET???

Option two: KOOLER???

Let them acclimate from the shipping and warehouse storage!!

I am having a hard time commiting to a whole box of one cigar. I have purchased a couple sampler tins of ten, one from MOW and the other was Diesel. I think I would be happy with a box of Nub 460 Maduros but there are so many others out there I haven't tried yet.

Beware the dreaded ODO. For you noobs, that's "Order Disorder". At some point you will have more cigars than you can possibly smoke, but the deal is just soooo good you have to get a couple more boxes. That is what lies at the bottom of the aforesaid slippery slope.

I had to pass up a couple of good deals on Cigar Monster because it's not payday yet. It's killing me. I might even have to wait until we go to Austin on Sunday.
