Mean, your mention of the state of mind when getting one's first 50-ct humidor makes me smile ... I guess I must've had the same look on my face that I saw on my next-door neighbor the day he got his ... when he brought it over to show me, he had it cradled in his arms almost like a mother holding a new-born baby and the look on his face was almost as glowing as that mothers face would have been. He was SO excited and couldn't wait to have me show him how to season it ...
yeah, I'm willing to bet I was just about the same ...
oh, and BTW ... treblig6, if you're still following this thread, send me an e-mail ... I'll forward you some info on wallet-friendly humidor sources and some on cigar care ...
