Hello everyone!
Well, I'm new, so I thought I'd pop by here and say hi. I've been lurking for a while, and reading old threads while I set up my humidor again.
I toyed with cigar smoking a few years back, and sort of accidentally drifted out of the hobby, but I'm hoping to get back into it. I've re-seasoned my old humidor, and am currently trying to gently coax a few of my remaining, sad, dry, cuban corona samples back into life. I neglected them, and I feel suitably ashamed. They won't ever be first rate again, but ... well, you've got to try, haven't you?!
I've just taken delivery of my first ever 25-box of cubans - I went with a Montecristo 4, as I remember particularly enjoying the 5s, back in the day. Please tell me the excitement of opening a full box and surveying the glory within never goes away! The only problem is it feels sacriligious to take them out and place them in my display humidor, now!
The plan is to stock up my 120 count humidor, and then start storing boxes away for the future. I'm hoping to home in on a couple of "everyday" CCs at the cheaper end of the scale, and a few more special ones for special occasions. I think my next order is going to be a 25 box of Rafael Gonzales Perlas to try them out, and a couple of the R&J short Churchills - I've always wanted to try those.
Anyway, I hope I don't ask too many stupid questions, and I look forward to being part of this lovely forum
All the best, from Birmingham.
(Oh. Yeah ... I'm from Birmingham. Sorry about that.... I don't have an accent. Promise.)

don TJ and the 
Coros
) had a lovely collection of "Montecristas". Definitely genuine. Even more valuable due to the misprint, apparently. I'm sure we can come to some arrangement once I have PM priviliges.....
