Hi all, name is Kit, I'm a 911 EMT in the county that Purdue University is located in. I have been enjoying cigars for almost 8 years now. Significantly more so in the last year since I got divorced (no need to say sorry, much happier and healthier now).

I started with getting silly 5 packs of the full sized swisher sweets (8 years ago), stopped when I discovered what a good cigar is lol. Since that time I have learned to enjoy quite a few different brands and vitolas. I use a Flambeau Ultimate Tuff Tainer 5012 for my humidor, gave it a nice baking soda paste soak for a few days to pull the plastic smell out, threw in some boveda packs, burp it at least once a week if I haven't opened it to get a stick out to smoke, and the rest is history with it. Recently I picked up an Apache brand plane knock-off rugged case from Harbor Freight to use as a travel-dor, works nicely so for.

As far as my favorite sticks, I like pretty much anything other than Dominican puros, but my taste is coming around to liking them. I usually have some nice libre toros on hand as my go to budget cigar, really enjoying the Kristoff line right now, had a Padron 2000 for the first time the other day and I was quite happy with it. In the process of buying a house which the plan is to use half of the garage as a sitting area for burning the delicious tobacco sticks we all love. Have a few cigar box projects in the works for it which I will be sure to post pictures of.

Look forward to enjoying this forum!

Pic is what is currently in my humidor (if anyone has had that Bugatti let me know what to expect, I got them on a flash sale on CI for a buck).

Thank you! I see you are in Anderson? I recently made it to nicky blaine's. I was in cigar heaven, I had also just finished up about 4 pounds of meat at the elegantly barbaric fogo de chao.

Welcome from Alabama

Just a couple of things:
First: Get a separate container to store infused cigars, Acids, in. I’m sure most here would advise against storing infused with non infused.

Second: Me personally, I’d get something besides the Flambeau case. Flambeau uses an anti rust technology to prevent rust forming on tackle or tools which those cases are primarily designed to store. It’s called Zerust & it’s those blue divider strips that are in the case. I’m not sure how it works or if it will have an effect on your Rh or your sticks, but I wouldn’t risk it.
