My Introduction

Welcome! Personally I would pitch those cigars and take the writeoff. Not sure they will be smokeable. They may taste so bad that it will turn you off this hobby. Also, call a customer service rep and tell them your situation and I'm sure get you a good deal on a variety of sticks so you find what kind of flavors you like.

Welcome. The COTMC is a great way to get exposed to new sticks. And you get an additional 10% off every order from then on.

Welcome, good to have you! I'm still pretty new, but in the last 4 1/2 months I have learned A LOT by roaming this board and reading from the voices of experience here.

Welcome to the group.

Welcome! Sounds like those sticks are going to taste like cardboard or worse, lol. You probably ought to pitch them, but do what you wish!

Welcome to forum! Good peoples around these parts, and I know exactly what you mean by the culture - it's probably the biggest thing that I love about cigars. Great group on here, and I've made some excellent friends. Hope you stick around, and feel free to ask questions (we're pretty good about newbie questions, though out of convenience we do encourage the use of the Search function) ;-)

Welcome to the forum. You'll learn a lot here. Those cigar can be re-humidified. But it's a really long, painstaking process. Plus, the cigars will never regain their original flavor because they've lost too much of their oils. Best to probably start fresh from the beginning. Keep those Purple Labels in the bag with the Humi-Pouch and they should stay fresh for long enough to season your humidor.

I'm sitting at my local parlor enjoying an Ashton Churchill - Connecticut wrapper, rather mild and in my very very amateur opinion, excellent !!!

To second what others have said, stick to the mild cigrars for the time being. MATASA (company that makes Fonseca) is a great place to start. You may also want to try the Arturo Fuente Hemingway line, the La Aurora 1495, the Rocky Patel 1990, the Sol Cubano Connecticut, and the Oliva Connecticut Reserve. All fantastic mild smokes, in my opinion.

Since Ive been on here, Ive gone from smoking Black and Milds to having a humi full of Olivas and Camachos! Great deals, great conversation, great advice all around!
