Just got my package from CCOM :)

Humidor is setup and is seasoning. Below ciagrs are now in a container with humi-packs, waiting for humidor to be ready.

I could not help it and smoked half of one Graycliff Double Espresso. The rest later tonight after dinner.

Here's my new/first stash:

    Had too. 1) noob 2) was rather strong 3) got wife aggro had to help with dinner inside. I did not even realize how fancy of a cigar it was until I read more about it later. It just smelled so good I had to smoke it. Feel bad now. I just fired it back up. It did not sit long. Mmmmmm

    You'll find that you have to learn to schedule your cigars. Get small ones for quick smokes, but when you have that premium cigar, stop, sit down, and give the cigar your attention for 1 - 2 hours.

    Hmmm. doubled up on a lot of those. Good decision. Keep notes on what you liked in each and see how it changes the next time you try it. There are many great sticks there. Ashtons, Avos, and Montis.

    I have to say graycliif double espresso is very nice. I was worried full bodied would be too much for me, but I def like it. Like someone in some post said, until I develop a palette for cigar taste, full bodied seems better because flavors are more pronounced. Out of very few sticks I smoked to date, this is by far the best.

    When smoking a fuller bodied cigar, just make sure of two things - 1) it's not on an empty stomach, and 2) you have something to drink. Dehydration/thirst seems to make the nicotine hit harder than if you have something to sip on

    On-topic: VERY nice order; you got some great sticks there!!

    Got it. Tonight is Hendricks gin and tonic. Usually I sip on scotch. I guess that does not help much with dehydration :)

    No! No! No!. No gin. Stick with the scotch, single malt preferably.

    So i finished that Graycliff Double Espresson last night. I wish I did not. That stuff was soo smooth, i did not feel a thing. Until 15 minutes later the world started spinning. I fixed it though. If you stare at the water spin in oposite direction, it looks like nothing is moving. Ugh, i might take a break from cigar smoking. At least until later tonight.

    Welcome to the forums. Looks like you are well on your way to a cigar hoarding problem.
