Hi guys!
So. As I'm starting to get into this hobby, I thought I'd start documenting how my collection grows, as much for my own entertainment as anything else!
I started smoking cigars in my 20s, and bought myself a cheap, little humidor back in the early 2000s - I think from simplycigars.

However, I lapsed out of the hobby, and I seemed to be working too hard for too little money to be able to enjoy cigars! Anyway, a couple of months ago, after trying to stop smoking cigarettes, I got back into it. I purchased a rag-tag selection of various non-cubans. (And a JLP and some Monty Puritos, just to push the boat out and be a bit fancy, like....
)

Then, I started taking it a bit more seriously, and purchased this piece of rather gorgeous Montecristo 4-ness. As soon as I opened up the box and took a sniff, I knew I was doing the right thing, and I had to ditch the rubbish. Life's too short for bad cigars!

So ... as tends to happen, my poor little humidor was getting overwhelmed. So, this morning, this arrived....

Which is currently sitting at 80%, getting seasoned. Now, I *know* it's about the worst one I could have bought. It doesn't use space efficiently at all, it's too small, and glass is about the most unhelpful thing you could make a humidor out of, but I DON'T CARE. IT'S PRETTY. And it makes me feel big and clever and grown up. So that's a win right there.
Anyway, the plan in time is to keep a few of my regulars in there, and scuba box the rest up under the stairs, where there's a nice, constant temperature.
I have a few petit corona sort of sized Cubans for trial purposes:

And I hope to buy many more over the coming months, and document them here!
Thanks for reading. I hope I haven't bored too many of you!
