I just couldn't wait.

Been a naughty boy.

I had a walk into the town today to have a look for the shop which parnaby recommended to me.
I found it. And a friend of mine works in there, so had a look around the stock. There is a nice little
selection going on in there.

I came out with this:




It is now in a cigar tube, and closed up in a sealed plastic bag. My humidor is currently at 79% RH and falling.
At what level will it be OK to put the stick in there? Should I wait until it falls to 69% or can it go in at a higher RH?


Thank you.

Someone will probably contradict me but I would say you'd be safe at 72%

[tippexx]

If it's in a tube .... then I would say, for at least six months it's safe at 200%

[Johnny Thunder]

I've just put it in a tube until it can go in the humidor.

I'd say to wait Johnny. Wait for the % to drop down more just to be safe

I am finding it difficult to be patient but I will do as I am told.

Nice stick mate, is it a siglo?

Silo I or II it looks like to me.

How much was he charging if you don't mind me asking mate? Debating on whether to stock up on a few premium ones out here or wait till I'm back home.
Anything else of interest available?

Thanks for that parnaby. Have tried a siglo II in Havana and enjoyed immensely. May have to steer clear of cohiba for a while until funds are a bit better!

It's a Robustos.

On a stick of around this price, he charges about ?4 more than cgars prices.
I just had to come out with something though.

?4 of an additional charge is a bit steep for any cigar but if your doing a twist for a new shop then kudos to you sir.

CoRo is a great smoke. Enjoy

Thanks Neil.
The owner of the shop is a local lad who has taken the plunge and decided to put together a small stock.
Obviously he will not be able to compete with the main players, but I will support him with the odd single
purchase just to try and help keep him up and running. Browsing on the internet is great. Actually standing
in a walk in humidor and smelling and touching Cuban quality is something totally different.
I think he deserves to be helped out occasionally.

Stores always charge more in store than online. That sounds about right price wise I'm sure. I know jj fox are much more expensive in store, at least ?4 on a stick if not more with particular ones.
best of luck with it Johnny

Grease it up, woman!

i think they make a pill for that.... or is it a cream?
(oh i know! an enema!)

Be more patient next time so you don't make the mistake of buying too prematurely . But I hope you really do enjoy it!
