Before buying the "Christmas Feast" sampler...What should I know?

Don't know about the humidor, but I'd think it would at least be OK. The sticks are good, although there is at least one poster who makes a point of saying he doesn't like Graycliffs at every opportunity . You can keep the cigars in a tupperware container with a water pillow or even a paper towel moistened with distilled water. Hope that helps. Welcome to the BOTL.

If you leave the cigars in the bags they come in, with the water pillows, they should stay just fine until you place them in the humidor. Once you place them in the humidor you will want to let them "rest" for a few weeks before enjoying them. The 92 is enjoyed by many of us, including myself. I also like the 1666, although it's not one of Grey Cliffs best. All in all it's a good deal.

It is a well documented fact and agreed upon by everyone on this forum that you should store your cigars naked. We here on the forum also don't put beans in chili! I kid of course. Either way works, it's a personal preference.

The Vintage 1990 is neither an upgrade or downgrade, just a different cigar. They are both awesome in my book :^) I store my cigars with the cello, but like it was stated before, it's a personal preference.

Rocky 92 and 90 are both excellent. I prefere the 92's Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, but the blend (filler and binder ) is identical. I store mine with the cello since I rummage through my humidor daily and hate chipped wrappers, I even reuse cello to cover cigars that arrive without coverage. My motto .." Wrap that rascal ! "

I'll chime in as one of the minority that stores cigars unwrapped. I'm not too worried about damaging cigars as I shuffle through them and I like the smell I get when I open my humidor to grab a stick. It really gets me in the mood and I'm already enjoying my cigar before I even have it in my hands. I also like that they are free to breath freely even though cellophane is porous and technically does pass moisture through. The visual is great too, it brings in another sense right away. I love just looking at my cigars.

To cello or not to cello...that is still the question. Most of my stiks are stored in my humi with cello on. I have some stored naked but I have to make sure the humidity stays above 70%, not above 73%. It seems that very quickly they start to look and feel dry stored without the cello and the humidity drops below 67-68%. That is why I am starting to lean toward keeping those puppies wrapped,...safer that way....But I guess whatever works best.

Every single one of my sticks is stored with the cello on. One of the things with chipped wrappers is that as the wrapper chips and breaks away (which is rather unsightful and all aspects of the cigar are to be enjoyed, including the appearance), the possibility of the wrapper to unravel begins to increase. I'm not saying it will always happen and I'm not saying it happens most of the time. But the cello tends to go along way in preserving the construction of the stick and its appearance.

All that and.... I would hope if Beetles ever got into my humidor the infestation might be contained by the cello.
