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?

Yip or start looking at a tuperdor, or coolidor. When I started I got one of those air tight clear jars out of walmart (think it was around $5) and put my humi pillow in that with the sticks. Just keep the infused sticks apart from the other sticks. The flavors will seep into the reg sticks.

Welcome to the forum. Ziplocks are good, tupperware is better. I've worked in plastic for 35 years, and I am not too keen on storing my cigars, or anything, for too long in plastic. Get a humi as soon as you can. I got a small 50 count first, good for learning how to season and maintain it before you move up to a larger humi, and you will need a larger humi. The original humi will now be you daily and the larger for aging/resting. Good luck

Welcome. Buy a big humidor and get a second job, you're hooked!

Thanks guys, pm's sent Just smoked one of my diesel's last night I was having some trouble with my cigars burning a little uneven and read on here that that can be from puffin on em too much, so I slowed it down a lil with the diesel and it burned pretty even and was more enjoyable.

welcome to the boards....and def invest in a humi. A word of advice when ordering one...which ever size u THINK you need, get one twice as big. That sounds crazy, but trust me. Ie, if u think u want a 150ct humi, get a 300ct.

jj20030

beleive me, save up and get atleast a 250, i started with a 25, then 50, then a 100, 1 more 100, a 250 treasure dome and last a 300 el grande, almost all full
