My good friend and fraternity brother just deployed to Iraq about 3 weeks ago. Before he left, I told him to send me his address when he got there and I'd put together a cigar package to send him. We've only smoked cigars together a couple times because I only really started getting into cigars a few months ago. I was thinking the best deal would be to get him one of the 15 count cigar caddy's that I can pick up for around $25 shipped, fill it up, and send it to him. Then he would have someplace to keep them safe and I could just send cigars in zip locks in future care packages to refill the cigar caddy.
Here is what I was thinking about sending thus far in the 15 count cigar caddy:
1- Monte Classic*
2- Monte Classic*
3- RyJ Habana Reserve*
4- RyJ Habana Reserve*
5- Padron 3000 Maduro*
6- Oliva G*
7- Oliva G
8- Oliva V
9- Punch Rare Corojo
10- Punch Rare Corojo
11- RP Connecticut *
12- RP Vintage 1992*
13- Gurkha Park Ave*
14- 5 Vegas Gold
15- Padron 1964
What I want to do is to put together a nice variety for him because I'm not really sure what he likes. The only cigars we have smoked together were some monte whites I bought before I knew anything about cigars. The ones with stars are ones I already have in my humidor, which is part of the reason why I chose them. The monte's and the RyJ HR's came from that altadis promotion. I like the monte's and RyJ's but I have many more cigars I'd like to try in the near future from the bombs I recently received so I think he would appreciate them more than me for the time being. The others on the list are cigars I have tried that I liked.
Any advice or recommendations? I'm a newbie here and to cigars so my experience is pretty limited. Also, would the built in humidifier be enough for iraq? I think thinking about throwing in a humicare bag instead and sending a small bottle of distilled water for it. Thanks in advance for all the help!
