    What's in your humidor?

    Thought it might be fun to describe the cigars in your humidor. Is it mostly Nicaraguan? Dominated by Padron? Warped? Crowned Heads? Fuente? Gurkhas? Cubans? Dominicans? Approx how many cigars do you currently have? Is there a number you are hoping to build to? What are your special occasion cigars? What cigars do you hope to add to your collection? Anyway, you get the idea! I hope this will be enjoyable as its not a dick swinging contest, because I would come up a wee bit short. if your a Piper, feel free to tell us about your pipes and what is in your cellar! Also if your a drinker, feel free to list your favorite adult beverage to go with a favorite cigar. I don't drink, but realize it is pretty common among cigar lovers.

    Be as detailed as you feel comfortable. It might also be helpful for Secret Samta.

    I guess I should go first.

    I have about 400-450 cigars and rarely buy over the last 5 years. Although when I find something I really want at a good price, I buy as many as I can afford at the time. Living on SS can be tight sometimes.

    My collection is heavy with Fuente cigars, their tobacco just seems perfect for my tastes. Most being Opus, 858's and Anejos. Most have been aging for 4-8 years, but several are freshies.

    I also prefer 50 and smaller RG with Coronas being the sweet spot, along with petite lanceros. But a Robusto works too because they are fairly short. An hour smoke seems to satisfy the itch.

    I also enjoy CC''s of which I have around 75 cigars. I have very little knowledge about them, but it's nice to have them on occasion and a change of pace.

    For special occasions or just because I want one, I usually just grab an Opus of some kind, with Angel Share and Oscuro Oro my current favorites. I also have a few HTF CC's that would also come into play. I have the palette of a goat, so I can't describe most flavor in a cigar, that's just not my thing.

    That's about it for now, but will add if something comes to mind.

    Who's Next???

    We are very close to the same in a few regards.

    I have about 400 cigars on hand, about half being cc's though, but on the nc side I too have more Fuentes than anything else. I have a tupperdor for just them that is full at 50 cigars, plus some overflow in my 74qt boxes tupperdor.

    My special occasion cigars are all cc EL's and custom rolls, mainly due to price and scarcity. I believe I have about 11 in that tupperdor.

    I also have some aged Opus X's and God of Fires I have designated as special occasion cigars also. There probably about 8 of the 2.

    I still make a monthly purchase of cc's or nc's depending on what I am getting low on or just want more of, because I'm a 2 or 3 cigar a day smoker.

    I just try to maintain my habit and keep my stash around the same number.

    I put a very high value on variety, so I keep enough different smokes on hand to the point where I don't have to smoke the same cigar twice in over a month unless I choose to.

    I prefer cigars in the 46 to 52 rg range and 5.5 to 6.5 inch length.

    Also, my palate is pretty much the same as yours. There are very few specific flavors that I can detect in my cigars.

    Not really anything specific I'm looking to add as there are too many to choose from. Especially nc's, so I just buy a few of what I see others smoking to try out.

    I have a long list of ones to try and just as many that I enjoyed and will eventually order more of

    My humidor is best described as completely random. I used to say I had around 500 but I feel I have bought more than I smoked, so 600-700 (random guess).

    When I started my gf now my wife bought me my first humidor hundred count. It after sitting empty and dry for years now houses my gift cubans and my Psd4 rolled in July 2016 month and year my daughter was born. I got tubos with the idea to replace each cigar with a letter to her.

    My main humidor picked up off Craigslist 7 years ago. Wanted 1 big one rather than all my small ones. Top 2 shelves are gifted cigars. Family friends bombs.
    At 1 point there was a plan to have cigars I purchased on 1 shelf and other cigars on the other plan went to crap. I have been an active member on 3 cigar forums starting with puff then after one of the massive bans stogiefriends (about to die) and here. When I was active on p I lived in lubbock and we had a good b&m and several events i did the event buy 3 get 1 or buy 5 and get whatever. I was inexperienced and deal I would only smoke 1 a week. So I tended to buy more than I smoked then. I have also been very lucky with superbowl squares 2 wins some fantasy football wins have added to my random assortment. I was also really active on pif and maws with a few random passes and secret santas. My online purchases were mostly budget sticks as were my pif and maw huals.
    (Worst beating i ever took was from the great Shuckins in a Wheel of destruction pairing).
    I took a small hiatus for a bit about a year where my b&m closed and I didn't really buy anything. Thats around the time I was doing another superbowl squares when p went black and Cigarbum was born. Since then I have lived here in Wichita Falls b&m is not on par with my buying standards but I don't need many budget or daily smokes so I buy Htf sticks or cheaper cubans. I smoke more but it is a bit weather and projects around the house permitting.

    I have several special smokes I try grab one every once in a while but depending on where we are and weather and who we are around.
    When I got into cigars I liked larger cigars Churchill but now prefer corona or Robusto or lancero. I love Solomon shape but thats a long cigar to smoke.

    Sounds like you are well stocked Josh. Thanks for commenting!

    Well your guess is as good as mine, but it seems like a cigar or two. I have a bit of everything even a Cuban or two. I have another humidor at work with that sampler from CI with all the $1 churchills. I have maybe 3 humidors with infused cigars. A humidor or two of Rocky's I have a humidor almost all the way filled of things Socal Gunner sent me. Beyond that your guess is as good as mine. I know there is a monster mash in the cooler I am gifting out this Christmas to my homie is never logs on here but made an account once. There are several humidors with pipe tobacco not pictured. I am a man of variety. I can tell you what is not in there, no Gurkhas I smoked them all and will pick up a bundle or two next time I am at a B&M

  7. Thanks KRam311, Nature thanked for this post

    I did find a random $12 cigar on the shelf moving things around. No idea where it came from or how long it was there. I just shove stuff whereever it will fit. One day I will get my stuff together and all in one spot. Sometimes my friends dig and even I am surprised at what they find. Make your way to the east coast and see what you can find.

    I could take pics, but my tuppie is in the 'pics of your humidor' thread.

    Maybe 200 total - 150ish loose, 40ish boxed.

    3/4 box of Tat Black, and a full box of Kruegers. CH 2021 LC sampler box. Fausto cuelbra box set.

    The loose singles are probably 1/2 from the Bums. Other half are an assortment from cheap tossers to pretty decent sticks.

    One of these days, far off in the distant future most likely, there'll always be a nice stock of Crowned Heads, Padron, Tatuaje, and Rojas ready for smoking. Probably also AF, MF, and other brands I cannot think of now, and brands I need to smoke more of. Most, if not all, in an RG 50 or less with a size of 6" max - unless the RG decreases with added length.

    If Santa needs more help with my list - anything above, anything asked for from MAWs, and anything Santa thinks will be appreciated.

    @Tombstone very cool, and thanks for the insight into your collection. Love how the liquor is there right with the cigars, and it looks like there's a nice selection of drinks ready to be chosen from. Everything's right there together, just how it should be.
