Title: Cigars
Post by: More2LifeThanMPG on March 21, 2015, 03:27:07 PM: Who here smokes cigars? Either regularly or just now and then.

I have recently found myself enjoying a cigar every couple of weeks. Normally I just walk into a place and see what the best seller is, however I ran across this website that offers a monthly "club" for $30 a month they send you 5 cigars that they have selected. It has me interested because I have idea what I'm doing or what I like when it comes to selecting a "good" cigar.
Does anyone do this? Or has in the past?
Also I've been looking into the next step and purchasing a humidor. Any recommendations? Or anyone have one lying around taking up space?

When the box is kept at the correct humidity it swells the wood and creates a good seal.i personally like mild cigars like a rocky patel ,olivia,monte cristo,Arturo fuente or something in a connecticut wrap.

That is one good looking box, I've been looking at couple small ones 20-40 cigars style with a glass top is what I'm leaning towards.

Those samplers look nice, so many different kinds in one. And they give you multiple for the same that's cool. Yeah the couple monthly websites I found don't have a reorder area, so I'm thinking a sampler is a better choice.

I mainly smoke Cubans but there is a local company in Temple City http://m.yelp.com/biz/mursuli-cigars-temple-city ... He rolled for my wedding. Father of the place use to be the factory Manager for Cohiba in Cuba. Good place, prices and staff!
