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.

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.
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.
