So reflecting back on a comment SPFXTED made a while back, I got to wondering what people would say are their top 5 cigars. For me, I would probably list them in this order:
1. Cohiba Esplendido
2. Hoyo De Monterrey Churchill
3. Montecristo No.2
4. Plasencia Alma Fuerta Nestor
5. Oliva Melanio, either Toro, Figurado, or something similarly sized
Oh, and I have to throw in the Feral Pig, maybe around no.3, which I just tried and greatly enjoyed!
What do you guys think?

Love the Alma Fuertes! How are the others by comparison? I haven't tried any of those.

Hey guys- Just a quick public service announcement. My wife bought some cigars for me a while back from Cigars International. Apparently there is some small print during the order process that she didn't see which tells them to start charging you a monthly $14.95 for some special club membership that from what I can see provides no known benefit.
She is trying to get them to remove the charges but according to others on-line this is a known scam they use and they are very uncooperative about refunding the monthly charges.

Quoted from jrpinball:Ian did a number on Cuba's prime tobacco producing region. Not good.

That's not good news. Even before Ian, the places I usually deal with have been out of many of my favorites, and the prices of some of the others have absolutely SKYROCKETED! Prices on some brands have gone from $15-18 per stick up to $40! Maybe I'll have better luck with other suppliers, or I'll just have to stick to the Nicaraguans for now.

So what do you guys use for cigar humidors? Anybody using an electronic cooler/humidifier? Historically, I have just stuck my cigar boxes in zip lock bags with a Boveda or piece of damp paper towel balled up inside to keep the humidity up. Crude, but has always worked reasonably well. As long as I re-moisten the paper towel every week or two, and store the cigars in my basement level, where it tends to stay a bit cooler year round.
But with cigar costs shooting up recently, it occurs to me I might want to look into something a little more reliable, lest I damage several hundreds of dollars of cigars (or more) through inattention! Also, I mostly store my cigars in the boxes they came in. The handful of loose cigars I purchase I just store in a previously used but empty cedar box from past purchases.
Also, I'm looking for something that will store maybe 6 or 8 boxes max.

Quoted from jrpinball:It's very odd, but I've never had any kind of sensation (nicotine buzz) from smoking a cigar. Not even in the slightest.
If I took one drag on a cigarette, and inhaled the smoke, I'm sure I'd be dizzy.
I don't generally feel much nicotine buzz from cigars either. However, I've learned NOT to wipe down dirty old pinball cabinets without plastic gloves on. After hitting one particularly brownish nicotine stained em some time ago, I had a huge buzz. Heart a little skippy, light headed, the works! Must have absorbed a ton of nicotine through my bare skin when squirting the cabinet down with Fantastic and wiping with paper towels. Never again! LOL!
My only guess is that the fantastic does a great job of dissolving the cigarette smoke and nicotine which runs down the sides of the cabinet in brown rivers. Wiping it up with paper towels and bare hands probably let's it adsorb through the skin quickly. All I know is now I wear plastic gloves on really dirty cabinets and I don't get the buzz!
I never got a nicotine buzz from cigars. Cigarettes are a different thing. A couple of deep inhales and my head spins. Gave them up 15 years ago.

Somebody settle an issue that occasionally comes up. I have always been of the opinion that cigars which come in their own cellophane sleeves tend (in general) to be lower quality than cigars which are sold in the box au natural. Some cigar shop owners I discuss this with vehemently disagree. But the cigars they then recommend don't usually float my boat. What does everybody think? Any remarkable cigars which would prove this theory wrong?

Sitting here feeling sorry for myself. Haven't had a cigar in over a week. Covid positive again, despite the two shots and a booster nonsense. Worst part is I lost my taste and smell just like the first time I had covid. Hopefully it comes back again! Last time it returned after about 6 or 7 days. I'm on day 4 now.
