I got my first shipment yesterday that I've been waiting for with baited breath!! I nearly filled my first coolidor!

I tryed a Cu-Avana Mad Robusto last night & really enjoyed it. The remainder will be resting for a while in the coolidor before I get back to them though. I also got some of the Felipe Dominicana White Label Fat Boys. I had one of those this morning on my way in to work. It was just OK for a short, but really fat 'gar.

I'm looking forward to trying one of the Indian Tabac's I got after they rest a month or two.

First!?!?!?!?

Seems so long ago, and I only started bidding in April, (I think...)

It's like a bad drug, you keep needing more and more...

BUT IT FEELS SO GOOD!

Just wait and see what she says in 6 months when you order a custom 80 box humidor. (Hint-I told her it was a nice piece of furniture).

Welcome to the dark side...

LOL... Yes, they are great pieces of fine furniture :o), but only 80? I was thinking more like 250 or 300!!

Dudes! Welcome to the Dark Side! May I firstof all bring your attention to the "sweaterdor".

The sweaterdor is a plastic storage box of various sizes that can be long, wide and flat to slide under the bed, or big marine cooler size (mine are 90 qt) they have no lates or hinges, but utilize a snap on lid, so the cost is drasticly less than say a cooler. I can usually score one at Wally World for $9, and plastic trays for 3/.97, finally anything from a sandwich sized tupperware container, to a plastic shoebox (mondo sized credo!) to fill with PG solution for a humidifier! What about a cedar lineing you ask? Not necessary! You store all your boxed cigars in their cedar boxes and when you empty one, you use the box in lieu of plastic trays! This frees up the money you WOULD spend on humidors to spend on cigars instead! A couple of nice humis is nice to have to stash your ready smokes in on your coffee table or the end table next to your favorite easy chair, but save your money on the half dozen nice show pieces, that your wife will probably not want you to show all the time anyway! I started on here in December, and had one humi that I already had, and now have four 90 qt sweaterdors (Liz says I need to get another as soon as I get home!) and that old humi, and a Contico dry ammo box I bought on here, and a cooler I use for my "cruise box", and an Otterbox I use to take to herfs. they are all pretty much full!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!
