    Welcome to the forum, @GrouchoM. Hope you stick around and get to know a bunch of us. You'll learn a lot about cigars and generosity. Better start thinking about a larger humidor or a coolidor....  B)

    @jlmarta Thanks for the warm greeting. I plan on being her a while and contributing to tbe mutual generosity, as well as being open-minded to learning more about cigars. Sadly, my humi is a tupidor so far (see photo) but from acorns mighty oaks grow...baby steps.

    Welcome! This place is a lot of fun and very informative. Many of us were in the same boat as you when we first got into cigars. With still being a student I would definitely research coolidors as they are the cheapest way to store more cigars.

    Welcome Tex. What cigar influenced you on new year's eve?  How much were you drinking? And describe what you liked about it. This might give us old newbies an idea of what to recommend you try next.

    Thanks @Bob_Luken Great questions. Let me see, I had just been released from Folsom prison, dressed in all black and had my trusty guitar. I was naturally celebrating and was smoking a Factory Throwout #99 with Johnny Walker black label and ginger ale.

    I liked the size (a churchill I think) and that as a Connecticut it was a uncomplicated smoke (but very interested in maduros now). I had 3 glasses of JWB. Enjoyed the calmness, time to myself looking up at the stars (80% of my smoking done at night outside, w 50% having a adult beverage). I enjoyed the thick smoke plumes and the long filler not causing it to be a quick smoke. I enjoyed it paired ok w alcohol. I also enjoyed the price ($1.49 @ my B&M). The smell was uncomplicated and the flavors while nothing to write home about was good for a newbie palate. Can't say much else since it was just three mths ago, but I hope I answered your question.

    @Puff_Dougie @bert873

    Youre the 2nd & 3rd persons to mentioned the cooler thing. Someone sent my buddy a photo of a cooler that he picked up at Target on sale. My buddy replied all "I see is an empty cooler". Puzzled, he said I should look into it, but never explained. I'm confused since I'm rocking a sandwich sized tupidor currently. What gives?  Am I missing the joke or something?

    It doesn't take long for CAS to set it.

    If you don't have CAS now you will soon. Forget the humidor and just buy a cooler. Best and cheapest humi you will find. You might ask @puff_dougie to show some of his pictures of his coolidor?

    @peter4jc
    Got it,  ha ha! I smoke about every other day, even with $2 and under smokes (no budget for $4 and under or $4 and above so far).

    Not married,  but understood. Say, can you possibly show me an example of what you mean? It appears the mob has gently requested I ask.
