rookie, first post
Hi guys, I'm pretty new to the game, more of an occassional smoker. I've been ordering infused cigars from this website off and on for a few years now, no large quantities or anything, but a handfull of cigars every once in a while. Recently, I've started trying other cigars, and just last week got a little carried away with my ordering. I ended up getting 4 tins of the infused gigars, a samppler pack, a few diesel'sand a nub 460, only to turn around and order 2 must buy sampler packs the next day through an email offer. I took a couple of the Ghurka Crests up and had one with my father in law for his birthday. Only problem now is I went overboard on the cigars and haven't dove into purchasing a humidor yet. Will I be alright just keeping the humi pillows charged in the ziplock bags they were shipped in?

Welcome to the forums. First things first: Yes, you will be alright for now keeping the humi pillows charged in the ziplock backs and leaving your cigars in there.
In fact, many ccom personnel have told me they leave pillows in a ziploc with some cigars with the bag OPEN to keep air exchange going and the cigars are fine (also helps they probably have turnover since they are avid smokers).
We will turn you into a reasonably adept snob soon enough in which case you'll want a decent desktop humidor with heartfelt beads or boveda packs or a medium to large cooler that simply needs a shot glass of distilled water or boveda packs and some calibrated hygrometers.
But until that time, enjoy your sticks and keep them in your ziploc with pillows until you're comfortable with which way you want to go in bumping your cigar-keeping capacity.
In agreement with the above post, make sure you keep your infused/flavored cigars seperate from your regular sticks.
Wilkommen!
