I've got some buddies that hold a cigar night about once a month. We get together, enjoy a cigar or two, and talk about life. It's a real nice time. However, I stay pretty busy with the buzzing of our family, so I only get to make it over there about once a quarter. When I go, I'll bring my regular "trash cigar" I pick up from the convenience store on the way there (a Backwoods, Game, or the like). Last time I was there, my buddy handed me a Drew Estate Deadwood Sweet Jane and I enjoyed it immensely. Very smooth, and sweet cigar. It seemed to last for quite some time. Say, maybe 5 times as long as my 2 for $1.95 cigars.
Anyway, we've been spending some time outside on the front porch in the evenings after we put the kids to bed and so I bought a five pack of them the other day. While waiting for them to arrive, all kinds of saddlehunter thoughts (read: overthinker thoughts) have been running through my mind. They go something like this: I've never had a good cigar in my possession before... I've never had multiple cigars that can't be smoked immediately before... Do I need a humidor? How big? Box or cedar lined acrylic jar? Guillotine cutter or hole cutter? 58% vs 62% vs 72% humidity control packets?
I'm hoping there are some old fuddy-duddies around here that can school a young buck on the ins and outs of leaf rolled tobacco...
