You don't have to blow that much. Just go get a sampler on Famous Smoke or Cigar international. You can try a bunch of different ones and not break the bank.

Was coming to post this. You can get a good 10 cigar sampler for $50-$60 and I haven’t had an issue with delivery quality yet.

Going to put this in the regular rotation. Really good smoke.

Me either. It takes some time for a cigar to dry out. I throw them in a desktop humidor with a Boveda pack and they'll stay good almost indefinitely as long as the packs are changed occasionally.

It's a pretty addictive hobby, though. This is just the top shelf of my humi. There's three more shelves under it.

Use the Boveda pack in the shipment.

I think mine only holds 50 but I usually smoke them too fast to worry about them piling up. Is that hydrometer decent? Every cheap one I've bought on Amazon kind of sucked.

Decent enough, I guess. I've had it for almost 10 years and my cigars always seem properly stored.

Damn, I wish mine looked like that.

You look for something in particular or just see something interesting and buy it?

I just see something interesting and try it. I also spend an embarrassing amount of time reading the reviews on cigar sites.

I was asking about the device that reads your humidity levels. That has lasted ten years? If so, what kind is it?

Heard that. My dad’s been getting a Cigar Aficionado probably since it’s been published and has “gifted” me a subscription the past five years or so.

I read that thing cover to cover even if the lifestyle and some of the cigars are unattainable to me currently.

Yeah, their lifestyle articles and product reviews can make you feel like an underachiever.
