Hey, I have been poking around here a little this afternoon and decided to post. I am pretty new to Cigars. Really, I have no idea what ones I like. I have been randomly buying a few at a liquor store that has a walk-in humidor. But, I am ready to get serious.
I am looking to get an inexpensive humidor, for one thing. Nothing big or fancy. Richgem suggested a Cigar Jar. Looks like a good idea although I do like the look of a wooden one. Haven't decided yet.
I have a nice Zippo I have used for a few years for cigarettes but am not sure if I need to invest in something better adapted to cigars. Only reason I question this is I just smoked one outside (Which will be my norm.) and had a little trouble with the wind. But, I do love my Zippo. In case anyone cares, the picture below looks like my zippo.
I also need to start keeping track of what I am smoking and what I do and don't like about them.
Slightly off track, I have decided I want a cigarette case also. I will probably be scanning the local antique stores for one this summer.
Anyhow, that is where I stand. I welcome any advice. And yes, I have been reading the stickied tutorials. I have already learned some things I was doing wrong. So, looking forward to learning more and may use this thread to update as I go.
