So they have! Nice pic.
R/E the trades I'd be happy to set something up once they arrive. I have to speak to the supplier to confirm delivery then I'll know when to expect them. I also got a box of tiny maduro's called Famous Buenos Maduritos which are 4 inch x 42 gauge. They're very cheap so not much to lose and some good reviews. I was looking for something small but tasty to chuff at work as I do most of my work outdoors.
I also got 601 La Bomba Napalm 5 Pk for a punt, they're supposed to be good at the price (which is pretty low). Those are 5 x 52 with a long tail. I just received a treasure box too from La Auror Preferidos too so I've got lots to try and lots more coming which is exciting.
As lots of people have advised me, the fun is in trying lots of sticks. I intend to have lots of fun trying. For now I'm off outside with a coffee and a Padron.

I really want to try those 601's, I'm looking into a pack of the Maduro's in the coming weeks. If you do fancy a trade I've got a MUWAT that I think you'll like if you like a powerful smoke and a couple of other sticks.

Deffo up for a trade yes, I'll post here when they arrive.

I was looking at these 601's yesterday and found out they do an 7x70 f-bomb! Yikes, I wonder what those are like. I've seen cigars up to 80 ring, is that just a gimmick or are these smokable?

Smokeable but a lot of effort required to get some smoke output

I love the look of that f-bomb especially with that pig tail

Me too, I'm not all about looks over style but I definitely am susceptible to this styling and marketing stuff. I might get one just for a laugh and maybe a second to keep in my new world humi. By the way Sean, can you help, I am using a Plano box as a second humi to give me some time before I have to buy something bigger. Its hard plastic and I have some cedar in there to give some wood smell. Am I doing a really bad thing here?

I have new world stuff loose in there and plan to fill it. My only concern is that the cigars may take on a bad chemical smell from the plastic. I chose the box carefully, it seals tight and doesn't have any noticeable smell of its own due to the type of plastic. My hope is that I can use this to keep new world stuff in for now and when I buy another nice big humi I'll keep this for unopened boxed. What do you think? OK or bad idea?


Don't count the days, make the days count.

Nope not a problem at all alot of people on here use tuberware to use as a humi i myself am getting close to needing one. As for the smell i have read things about leaving coffee beans in there but am sure some of the other chaps using this setup can help a bit more nice looking sticks you got there aswell

[Zebedee]

Awesome man let me know and then we'll sort something out With regards to your tupperdor, I washed mine out with a vinegar solution to get rid of the plastic smell then was able to wash out the vinegar smell with just some hot water. Mine now has an old Bolivar box in it for some cedar smell and holds 68%.

From what I've heard the F-Bomb isn't all that great, not a bad smoke but the smaller vitolas are easier to smoke and don't require an entire afternoon to smoke. Unless you're Sam Morales. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6Q80MlmuIM

Nice to see someone else using a bargain hygrometer from Amazon, they're perfect for tupperdors. Do you find you need any humidification in it? My Asda box has been maintaining humidity with nothing in it for months since I bought it.

It is actually holding yes, even though the crystals are long dried out. I guess unlike wood this is a perfect seal and just hold humidity. Oh yeah that bargain hydrometer was a good purchase.
