Any Cigar Smokers Here?

[italiansport]

I purchased a few cigars from a widow over the weekend; actually quite a few!These cigars and there are hundreds are high end examples from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic and the tobacco is grown from Cuban seed. They will be going into a humidor which I also bought for awhile and should be in excellent condition. Ironic thing is I don't smoke so I'll probably be selling them.

Yea I do have a cigar now & then - - - -

Unfortunately, (from what I see in your pictures) many have not been stored in a manner that protects the wrappers from cracking and cigars from being damaged. I hope they have fared better than I would think from the pic's.

A certain former POTUS might be interested. Inquiries should be made to M. Lewinsky PO Box 68 San Francisco CA...

They were stored in a humidor until I bought them. The humidor was sold separately but I bought it as well. The cigars appear to be in excellent condition. They are now back in the humidor.

Fairly easy to check. Look for cracking of the cigar's wrapper leaf. Look for holes caused by worms that can eat and destroy tobacco. If they are dry they can be revived in 68-74% relative humidity conditions, but you must re-humidify in a gradual two-three month process.
If you fit all those sticks in a humidor it must be a beast!!
Good luck.

Gently squeeze the foot of a cigar and it should give without cracking or being too firm...

The humidor I bought is a huge floor model and you're right it's quite the beast. I have been loading it on and off all day. The cigars passed all the tests indicated above and I'll leave them in the humidor for at least 3 months. From what I can see and feel(no cracks and no other apparent damage) they should be fine to smoke sometime early next year. I'll keep you posted. I haven't smoked in 20 years but I'll probably light one up at that time as a test.

While in the Bahamas I had to smoke a 26$(cheapest one) Cuban to see what all the fuss is about. WHEW...now I know why they're banned. They must of wrapped the tobacco with reefer leaves! Took me three days to smoke it and I was red-eyed the entire time.

Smoked four (4) cigars...

...yesterday pre- and post-game as Penn State SMOKED my pitiful U of Maryland Turtles 66-3.

If you do want to sell some, please let me know. I smoke lots of cigars and do have a powered humidor that needs to be re-stocked soon.

Be safe.

I smoke cigars just about every day.....I'd be interested as well when it comes time to sell....

And I though I was the cigar nut with a box or two of A. F. Don Carlos!

But mine are guarded by several S&W 44 Specials and a 1911 45! LOL
