Lol, I'm a "little" OCD. We were all at the same exact "new" point that you are right now. Enjoy the experimental phase of trying different brands from different countries. Make written or mental notes about what you like/dislike about each one. PM me your mailing address and I will send you a little sampler. Enjoy the rideFive. Thousand. Being new this, that's a staggering number. I would have been shocked by 500. Boy do I have some learning to do

Honestly the easiest way to get damp Cigars to propert RH is with a Boveda of desired RH, is to put them in a SEGRGATION TUPPER-DORE with a single Boveda of desired RH. I would ha sure you are not going to try, and dry out more the 25 at a time. Small Container to fit the Cigar, Boveda, and last room for Some air humidity movement.

Well, my rational is that quality Cuban cigars never go down in value. I've never bought to resale, but ANY box of Havanas 10+ years later are worth so much more. If you have the room to store and age them properly, they become different animals. It's not the forbidden fruit. I have access to everything. There is HUGE difference. Same with aged Nicaraguans

I fully agree with you there. If you have the space age as many as you can. They change and I didn't realise how much when I first started smoking. I went out and bought what thought were the exact cigars that long time smoking friends bombed me with. I thought I had bought counterfeit but they just weren't aged.

This is very true. If you have aged Habanos that are 10+ years....the value and demand will be there. The cigars are totally different than fresh Habanos.
Very nice collection, I hope you Smoke them though!

Agreed. I hope you smoke them as well. I have never sold any vintage ill trade or bomb but I've never been much of a seller.
Hehe, just wait. The fact that you are here this early in on your new hoby speaks volumes. Also, I would like to add, let your cigar sit in the environment that you are going to smoke it in for a half hour or so before you smoke it. It will help a lot with wrapper cracking and what not, especially in the cold. This is in addition, obviously, to letting your smokes stabilize for longer. However, that takes time. Letting them sit out for a bit is something you can do now. Hope all these responses have helped brother!Five. Thousand. Being new this, that's a staggering number. I would have been shocked by 500.

You've only just begun to try and fill the money pit. A collection is something you grow over time. Right now with six weeks in your palate isn't developed. Smoke as many different sticks as you can right now. My experience is the collection side comes once you have smoked enough to even know what you want to start focusing on. I recommend buying samplers to any new guy. Remember what makes a good cigar is if YOU like it. Your in the right place though. This by far the best place for smokers. Somehow it's drama free here. There's a wealth of knowledge here and as you can see people are more than willing to try and answer any questions you have.
