Well, the mail lady flipped me off again, after she drove up the driveway so as not to have to carry the box. Splash Al. The box made it fine, I'll have to open it tonight when I get home. Scanty my arse! Thank you sir, it's appreciated. Vince |

they are "Jazz" apples...similar to Honey Crisp in firmness, juiciness and crispness, but the flavor is slightly sweeter and not as tart. I get them if Costco doesn't have the Honey Crisps, which my noob said is his fave apple, and mine as well.
Hope you like the Jazz, and at least some of the cigars I sent, Gunner. |

The grapple has got to be top 5 apples. Smells like a grape tastes like a crisp apple followed by hybrid Macintosh varietals. Then there's all the crab apple hard ciders mmm 🍎 |

Now I found where I put this post....thought it was on the Noob PIB. Fellas, If you are interested....post "I am interested in the Noob Trade". Please make sure that you have read the first page of posts and feel free to read the entire thread for situational awareness. I will compile a new list of Noobs that are willing and meet the requirements outlined on the first page. I will then solicit the vets to step up. I don't think that I will match up folks until this COVID stuff lightens up. David |

Hi everyone I’m probably posting this in the wrong section and if I am I apologize in advance. I’m just getting started into the cigar world and have been reading everything I can. I was wondering if anyone had an old humidor for sale. I’m currently using a wooden Acid box that I got from the local smoke shop(I know not the best thing). I by no means am looking for a 500 cigar humidor. Looking for just a decent beginner box to get myself started. Thank you in advance and sorry if this is in the wrong place. |

You might be better off looking for a deal on a small humidor on CBID. Personally, I don't have any old ones to spare...I have been getting crushed lately and am pretty tapped out storage wise. Instead of putting your cigars in the Acid box, go get yourself a good rubbermaid or something along that line. They will keep the moisture a lot better than just a standard cigar box. In the meanwhile, feel free to look around. Head on over to the Noob PIB and see if you can figure out how to get involved. A request for an older humidor might get more attention if you are actively participating on the forum. David |

Thank you for the suggestions. Got a PM from SirKnight earlier in the day suggesting the same. Never thought of doin that. Went out and got what I needed and should be good for now.... I think lol
New here(only 2nd day) still trying to figure it all out. Didn’t know any anyone had one for sale and figured I’d try the trade section.

Sounds good. How many cigars occupy your tupperdor? Hopefully you didn't start out too small. (that's what she said) Humidor space becomes a commodity the more you are on here and the more you start to find cigars in your wheel house. Oh, if you are just starting, don't buy too many of one cigar. You will see that your tastes change. Nothing like having 20 of one and only smoking a few and then finding out that you have moved on from the cigar. Just so quick tips.

As of right now I have 10 in there (mostly DE). Just by guessing it can hold apx 30 or so. I’m figuring I’ll be running out of room pretty quick in it so I’ll be needing to find a new solution lol. Thank you for the tips I appreciate it. |

Search for some of the storage threads. There's some various suggestions on amazon and whatnot. Coolers are another option. 30's not gonna cut it once the Cigar Acquisition Disorder sets in |

Second option is probably best considering the current situation. |

I am spending more and more time smoking and would like to be added to the newbie sampler list! Look forward to trying new things and meeting new people.
Thank you,

ncpitt, Recommend you go to Cigar Discussion and read the Info for Noobs.(I just topped it). After that....an introduction on the Cigar Discussion would be good.
For this thread, read the very first post, it will give you some info on being included in this "newbie sampler list" (which it really isn't).
If you have any questions, message me.
