Any plans on a humidor? The Ashton VSG is a very good stick.

Yeah, get a decent humidor and start buying boxes (WARNING - it's an expensive hobby). You can get a humidor that'll fit 50 nails for around $20; though most on these forums will recommend you start with a 100 or 150 (which start around $50-100), since, well . . . boxes of cigars are cheaper than individual nails, and if you get into the hobby, and the nails start adding up. You should know the number they typically quote on humidors assume you're storing corona's. If you store churchills (around 50 gauge or bigger), then a supposed 50 nail humidor will hold about 30 or 40; a 100 humidor will hold 60-80 churchills. So . . . go big!!

I'm a huge VSG fan, and I really like the Edge...good choices there, and you're right, not for the feint of heart. Never had the third one.

My thought is why would the shop guy suggest a VSG ( great cigar) and an Edge to a cigar novice ? Both are Full bodied and will give you an unpleasant experience in my opinion. Rocky Patel Connecticut, 5 Vegas, Avo, The Griffins, even Macanudo to name a few, would be better suited to a novice.

LOVE the VSG!!!! enough that I bought a box of the toro's! spendy but 37 cigars of pure lovely bliss. I didn't like the edge though. if you can find one at a good price, give a esg a try after you had a vsg. they aren't bad but the price is a bit much.

I smoke a cigar daily when the stress is on (since I'm a grad student, that's typically finals week); even then, I can't handle a full churchill without something on my stomach, the nicotine is just too much for me. - - - other than finals, I usually smoke once every week or 2.

Your not inhaling the smoke right? Usually milds shouldn't be giving you lightheadedness. You want to puff a cigar like your trying to suck something through a straw.

I really hope I'm not inhaling; I try to close down my throat, but I think some still gets past. I can handle about half a churchill before it becomes too much

I don't know, but I do get this empty stomach feeling when I smoke something really spicy on an empty stomach. Smoking just feels great after a meal, though. As far as how cigar.com ships the order, the daily deal is always a 5-pack, I believe, and comes shipped in a slide-zip style bag with a humi-pillow, and should be good for a week or so if it's necessary.

For the most part I smoke one a day...maybe two. Some days my schedule doesn't allow for enough relaxation time to smoke a cigar, but most days it works out.

I smoked a RP OWR once on an empty stomach...bad mistake, will not do that again. I usually smoke a couple of cigars on the weekend, my schedule during the week usually doesn't allow me to smoke more (because I will not smoke in my car)

the stronger tobacco gets you light headed because nicotine does enter your system through your gums and cheeks.
