I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! (with a Newair 28)

A few years ago, I decided to quit smoking. I took my 120 qt cooler full of cigars and 2 small humidors and turned it over to my local club. Just 2 weeks ago, I decided that I really miss it. I called the club and asked what happened to all that goodness (I had some 2001 ERDMs and some 2002 Padrons that were just wonderful!) They told me that they packaged the thing up and sent it to the troops overseas!!!!!!!!!!!!

I almost cried. Seriously, they didn't know that I am aggressively supportive of our troops (<------- former Marine) but somehow they did the one thing that would allow me to not feel bad about losing all those great cigars.

Well, anyway, I am back in it. I ordered a Newair 280 and some drawers from Forrest.

I am feverishly trying to find out what is "in" these days and trying to determine what I will fill the 28 bottle cooler with. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Got her holding 65 degrees with some activated carbon in there to kill the smell. Will probably get some newspaper tomorrow.

I am working on calibrating my hygrometers right now.

Welcome back!

You'll probably hear a lot of this, but Connie's taste like finely aged Cubans. That's where you need to start.

I recommend that you check out JR's, CI, CBid, Holt's and a bunch of other websites. You can probably get some samplers to help you figure out what you like.

And spend some time around here. We're always talking abut the cigars we love and where you can get them at the best price.

You probably coined the phrase.
