Noob from NY

[ENV]

Hello all!

My name is Eddy. I just became very interested in cigars and love them. had my first Padron 1964 this weekend on a hike with the Fiance. I enjoy full bodied medium-medium/strong blends. I noticed there is a trading area but is there any place I could buy cigars to try direct from some of you guys? The local shops are grossly overpriced here in NY due to taxes. I still buy but would prefer to buy direct from the brotherhood.

Any recommendations? I enjoyed the Padron a lot. I also enjoyed a Blendlabs WC-554 and a Magna. The Perdomo 10yr champagne I tried was decent but mild for my taste. I enjoy a flavorful smoke.

Just won a beginner humi on cigarbid. I will season it with Boveda packs and would like to keep about 15-20 cigars in it at a time.

So I hope this isnt too noobish but any help is appreciated.

*also if you know of any events in NY especially westchester county please let me know.

Welcome Eddy!

Welcome!

As far as suggestions, I'm a noob as well. I just smoke as much variety as I can.

As for the trading area. You just have to be a member for 30 days and then it will open up to you!

Atlantic Cigar in Elmsford sometimes has events....might want to check them out.

BTW, hang around here long enough and that 15 cigar humidor is going to get blown up with extreme prejudice!

Eddy welcome from Albany. I feel your pain on taxes your best bet at finding cigars you like is buy 5ers off the Internet (various bidding sites, monster.com, etc) with 5ers I found for me also being from ny you can get it for what we'd buy 2-3 sticks for and it gives you a chance to have a few to try before you make your decision on them. Just my $.02. Enjoy this place and all the knowledge too.

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

The humidor is a 50 count. I planned on keeping 15-20 in there after it is seasoned. I just started reading about aging cigars. Can they be aged in a regular humi or will I need to make a coolidor? Dont have many funds lol.

I will look into Atlantic cigar. Also I have been to Doc James in Shrub Oak and it is a very niice place. I live close to Mom's Cigar but Docs is very close to where I work.

You can age cigars in a regular humi just fine as long as it holds the humidity and temp. Just an FYI though....humi work best when they're at least 2/3rd full. I used to have Shrub Oak in my territory....never knew there was a cigar store there. Probably a good thing because if I had known, no work would have gotten done after leaving the account in Jefferson Valley Mall.
