Cigar Dummy From Lincolnshire

[kern47]

Hi,

New to the hobby after deciding to quit cigarettes (albeit for vaping instead), but decided I'd still like to put something in my mouth and set it on fire once in a while...

After trying to find sensible sized/priced vintage humidors, eventually just settled on a Germanus glass top 30 count from Amazon, just for a cheap first humidor. After a couple of weeks it seems to be holding humidity well so far.

It's currently holding various budget cigars purchased online to get me started, along with a couple of RyJ's and Montecristo's I got from a private sale.

I look forward to getting plenty of ideas/info/advice from this forum, although right now I'm having to try really hard not to purchase every sampler/cigar I fancy. I'm attempting to do this on some sort of a budget, whilst procuring some of the more 'fine' cigars for special occasions.

I've got plenty of questions, but will try to drip feed them into their appropriate forums as and when.

Glad to be a member.

Alex

Welcome to the forum Alex - I am sure you will wonder what the hell you did to pass the time before cigars

Welcome aboard and I hope you really enjoy the journey. It?s one of those things that you can never ?complete? so enjoy the constant feeling of ?want that one? (little Britain accent)!

Yeah I'm already getting that feeling... I've got about 20 in at the moment, although most are only 4/5 inches long and fairly small ring gauge (being the cheaper ones) but enough to fill the bottom.

Tbh that's why I'm glad I got a cheap one to start me off

Welcome aboard, you’ve come to the right place. As an ex cigarette smoker myself I can say you’ve made the right decision and won’t look back.

Yeah and theres a lot more choice in cigars than I would have realised before, having only really smoked them when I was working abroad (and not in much of a state to appreciate them). So I've decided to 'start at the bottom' and work my way up, in terms of the cost/perceived quality.

I've downloaded cigar scanner to try to keep track of the various ones I smoke as well
