Looks like you just got the reintroduction lol. I’d imagine there’s not a lot of the same face around that were here then. There are a few. Welcome back

Good morning y'all. I would like to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Chris from Alabama. I had been a once in a blue moon cigar smoker until Christmas last. This is when I got a traveling humidor from my oldest son stock with some different varieties. I sat down poolside and took my time smoking an Oliva V, wow. I started picking up flavors that I never knew were in a cigar. Now, I have 7 desktop humidor and a food saver slam full of different sticks. Most of them I have gotten online, but I usually go to my local B&M and buy sticks that I don't have but want to try. I love to research all I can about cigars and the families that introduce them to the market.
Speaking of research; I have a question 🤔 for the forum...
I am celebrating my 30th year in law enforcement this month and I would love to here suggestions from y'all on what would be a great celebratory stick...
Welcome. Hopefully, you were in the drop program 4-3/4 years ago 😜😜. A great celebration stick would be the one you enjoy the most along with some great company 🤙🏼

Welcome Chris. What part of Alabama you live in?
Congrats on 30 years, Thank you for your service. There's a couple of cigars I remember having 30th anniversary in the name. I'll do a quick search and see what pops up.
Perdomo 30th anniversary might be the easiest one to get ahold of.
Padron 1964 Anniversary Series crafted to commemorate Padron's 30th anniversary.
Davidoff 30th anniversary would be nice if they are available.
Hello. Jay here. I just bought my first Humidor. New to the cigar world. I did buy a nice box of cigars years ago. 1997 I went to a buddy's wedding in Honduras. On the way back I bought a nice box of cigars at the Duty Free Store. They weren't very expensive then and I really liked them. No humidor, didn't even know what they were. But being in South Mississippi on the coast, they stayed nice and moist just being in the box. I just bought a Wineador, a KINGCHII 8 liter humidor. Its small, I can't fit a box of cigars inside but I bought it because I can't get my house below 78 degrees in the summertime. I live in a hot dry area. This Wineador has a small plastic container for water built in to the bottom, under the wooden tray basket so its not in the way. I filled it up with distilled water after wiping down the inside walls of the humidor. It had a slight plasticky smell but not bad. I left door open for a few minutes and put a box of baking soda in it, but, I couldn't wait to get started seasoning it so I took out the baking soda, turned the thing on and set it to 72 degrees. I let it run for 2 days and watched it humidify while holding a solid 72 degrees. It stayed around 80% humidity and i emptied most of the water from the container but it wouldn't go under 78ish RH. I had to remove the little water container and I dropped in a 69% Boveda pack. It stayed around 76 but I added 4 or 5 cigars last night and now its a solid 73RH and 72 degrees. It just bumped up to 74 but I'm not worried. I like that its holding a solid temp. I put in a few cheap cigars and one medium priced cigar. 3 AF Curly heads. 1 JUST STICKS corona from Bevmo ($4). 1 Gran Habano Corojo #5 Pyramid. 1 Habanos Del Campo kinda cheap cigar. These aren't fancy cigars and I've only had 1 of the curly heads and I liked it a lot. Any reviews on any of the other ones?

Hello,
Hoping aboard, not new to cigars but new here!
Cut my teeth way back when JR had a forum, late ‘90’s ish. Spent some time on other forums but they have died a slow death.
Tried the facebook groups but that’s not a good fit.
Anyways, living in the Charlotte Metro and enjoy cigars, coffee and bourbon/beer.
I started with mild conn, then evolved into other cigars, joined the cuban snob group and now I smoke mostly non Cubans for many reasons.
Looking forward to the group!

Hi @DirtyJinx, welcome to the forum. I get senior discounts offered to me at stores, I wish they were cigar lounges.

Welcome, Chris. Look into Protocol cigars, into the background of the creators of the brand, and you'll know why they might be a good fit for you.
