For the tenner a stick everyday guide... I'd say Upmann HC as a short, worthy smoke.
A box of 25 wont kill the bank, take half out and pop them into your humi. Stick the other half in the box into a tupperware/ lock n lock box with a boveda and try to forget you own them. If you smoke through the desktop sticks as you try other things they should last you a few months at least... and I'll bet you'll see a difference between stick one, stick 6 and stick 12. Try letting them settle in your humi for a month if you can, particularly if they have had to travel to you via the post etc. If I jump straight on a stick them moment it lands I tend to regret it - sounds daft but a bit of acclimatisation seems to count for something. From my experience you will notice a difference in them inside of 3-6 months, and again in 12-15 months and onwards.
As for the ones in your new plastic humidor (tupperware/locknlock box) they will be different again. I've found the HUHC to be one of the sticks that react positively and to a noteworthy extent in a relatively short period.
Good luck
