Have you tried the other releases on that? I would like to try them all but the San Andres wrapper is probably the one I’m most interested in.

The Sumatra that Carillo wanted. Probably a good choice if he came up with that wrapper.

I just got a handful of fivers from the page place and they seem to have upped their game.

There is a Boveda (the little ones) in each individual zip lock and there was a cool 4-pack of promo coasters in the box, too.

Well done.

How do you store your boxes? Bust out the sticks and lay them in a ‘dor? Or put the whole box in storage w/cigars still inside original box? Or something else? I’m still working it out and appreciate any suggestions you might have.

I've had most of Crowned Heads' library. None I found to be bad, it's a pretty solid brand across the board. Or at least was, I haven't been buying in many years so things change but I've been buying from brands I liked before and blenders I liked before who are now at different companies. I believe CH is still intact from before so I'm hoping they're still a solid buy. I have had Mule Kicks before and enjoyed them. Nothing spectacular to chase after or anything but I have enough trust to blind buy a box.

Everyone has their own storage methods and everyone's right. You need to figure out what works for your situation. Most of us who hoard a large quantity of cigars do so in airtight or mostly airtight containers. This could be an entirely separate thread and I'm sure it is. But to answer your question briefly, I leave them in the box and put the box in a large sealed case. I use Pelican-style cases because I got a couple big ones for free. But many use gasketed totes or marine coolers. Benefit of a cooler is it also slows temperature swings. I store in the basement which stays at a pretty constant temp year round so I don't need to worry about that. If I were to store in a closet upstairs I would probably do a cooler because the temps change quite a bit throughout the day especially in the summer when the windows are open.

I have a few big outdoor weather-sealed tuppers and a couple large coolers. I just put the whole box in one of those. I take the plastic wrap off before I do.

After I smoke out of the box and create room in it, I will add the odd 5 or 10 pack (or singles) and stick a post-it on it to remind me of what's in it.

Empty boxes are full of randos and 5vers and such with a post-it on the outside.

Most of the storage bins have a tray for easy access to stuff I erroneously think I want to smoke soon. Usually I wind up digging through the boxes anyway.

You can also just take the top off of an old crappy box and use that for a makeshift tray.


You better stuff a bill in my tip jar. Don't want to hear no change clinking in there.

Thanks a lot Danm. I’ve got a large plastic bin used for storing sports coats or large winter coats. It has a snap down lid but I would not say it is airtight. I currently have a few boxes in it and tons of fivers. I was putting everything thing in Boveda bags and then putting them in that coat storage box and sliding it under the bed. I’ve got approximately 800 cigars in right now. Thanks for the tips and snaps, I’ll check them out.

Wow, that’s a sweet set up. I can probably score some free pelican style bins…might take a minute though

Those look good. Right now I’ve got the thing I mentioned above and I’ve been buying the 236oz snap lip containers that Jake told me about. I’ve got 4 now and another on the way, which I’ll need on Saturday when my next CB shipment arrives. I’ve bought a lot of cigars since last October and I’ve received quite a few too. Probably about 80 cigars have been gifted to me from you guys. I think I need professional help. I can’t stop buying cigars.

No, I am not a FOG. No, it is not code for send me cigars.[ram27bat]

I was just teasing about the fabulousness of my advice and out-of-control tip culture.
