The first thing I would do when you get your humidors in though is season them. That way you can start putting your cigars in there. Until then I would store the cigars in a tupperware dish or something. I believe it should only take a few days to season those small humidors. Correct me if I am wrong fellas.

AND don't forget pictures of when you get it all set up.

Thanks, I actually have a small humidor my neighbor loaned me so I shouldn't need the tupperware. My neighbor has really been a big help and influence on my new habbit.

That's great that you have a BOTL so close that is guiding you in the right direction. I don't know about the rest of the guys here but when I first started smoking none of my friends smoked so I just started hanging out at the cigar shop trying to pickup on everything. My dad took me out for my first cigar and I didn't even cut it. I told him it tasted better that way. What was I thinking? Haha

I am gad you have your neighbor to help you get started in this hobby/obsession of ours.

I can tell you that the Warminster is just some cheap board with a Cherry finish. It's fine for dryboxing or keeping all your lighters and cutters together but it doesn't really keep RH very well. I wouldn't bother trying to keep any nice sticks in it.

Go ahead and invest in a nice cooler because you'll soon have those other humi's packed full

No, yet another item I missed. Damn, my needs are going to be never ending, huh? I have only been using a punch so far. I have used cutters before, but I love the clean punch hole. Is it better to use a cutter? I'm sure on torpedos its a must.

Like many things in cigar smoking it all comes down to preference. Take your time and enjoy no need to rush. Check cigar monster through the day they always have cutters.

I've used a pocket knife to cut a cigar before. The cutters will give you a cleaner cut, but are not absolutely 100% required.

Heading home in two hours to see my equipment, feeling giddy!
Thanks for the input everybody!

I put a couple trash bags out and a note asking the driver to stick the boxes in the bags in case it rains. It did rain, I hope he is a cool driver.

You where absolutely correct about the Warminster, I think I only paid about $9.00 for it though. Might just give it to my brother, trying to get him into it too.


Here are some pics now that I received my shipment:

I am not that smart just got lucky, haha.
I was like wow that is awesome that there is a news letter, but why would it be in print and not electronic? Searched and found people making fun of it, without them I would have been sucked in.

FYI: the Colibri Hybrid lighter (shown on the left) is a really cool lighter. It lights using a flint and you just press a button to turn it into a torch, let go of the button and it turns back to a regular flame. I was pleased with this lighter, until it breaks like most Calibris I hear of.

I gotta disagree... I have one as my office humidor and the damned thing is rock solid...

I can't attest for the RH, but the bottom is very thin and it does not have cedar surrounding the lid. I'll get some pics. I do like the hinges though. It doesn't have a magnet closure either if I remember correctly. I'll get some pics up on here.
