So the other night I placed my first order of CC, took the longest time to figure out where to purchase from. Finaly broke down and pick a place. Since I've never had a CC in my life I wanted to get a sampler, which was pretty hard to find. My order will be shipping soon but I am nervous. The wait, customs, if ill get them, etc.

Anyways, here is what I picked up for $240 shipped, probably payed too much. It's only money.
1. Bolivar Petit Corona
2. PL Picadores
3. Partagas Serie P no 2
4. R & J Exhibition no 4
5. H. Upmann Connoisseur Number 1
6. Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure Number 2
7. Juan Lopez Seleccion Number 2
8. Montecristo Number 2
9. Partagas Serie D Number 4
10. Por larranaga Petit Corona
11. Punch Punch
12. Quai D’Orsay Corona
13. Hoyo De monterrey Epicure Number 1
14. Ramon Allones Specially Select
15. Romeo y Julieta Exhibicion number 4
16. San Cristobal La Punta
17. Sancho Panza Belicoso
18. Saint Luis Rey Regio
19. Trinidad Reyes
20. Vegas Robaina Unicos

Fingures crossed.

Might want to delete the country of purchase. Not sure if it's against the rules or not to share that but I don't want to see you get in trouble here.

I'm not very knowledgeable with CC's but nice to see you picked up a sampler. A few of them I've had before which all were really good.

Relax.
do put these in a separate Tupperware without any moisture for a couple of weeks.
You should shoot for 60-62 % rh, since Cubans do not do well at higher humidities.
If you need to add moisture, use a small piece of a paper towel with 4 of 5 drops of water.
Since Tupperware seals air tight,you want to be careful adding moisture.

So I am keeping an eye on my package. Just wondering, does this mean that it has cleared customs?
