Help! I need to fill new humidor on the cheap

[teewinot]

I did something stupid.  I just bought a 600ct Waxing Moon humidor.  Too good to pass up.  I've been eyeing Ed's work for years.

My current stock is in the 150-200 count range and I know humidors are more efficient full.  

What bargains (cheep and cheer full) or other do you suggest.?  Holidays are coming..do my kids need presents?

* PLPCs would be on my list. They've been on 24:24 recently for under $250 for a 50 cab. Good morning cigar with age.

* Partagas Shorts, similar price to the PLPC if not lower, consistent in flavor. Works as a second cigar if needed.

* HUHC, solid cigar that becomes great after 3-4 years. Also under $5 a stick.

Jose L Peidra...everything ?

You can also fill space with Spanish Cedar pen blanks or other blocks of Spanish Cedar.  They take up space and act as a humidity reservoir.

And you can use them as dividers so your singles don't commingle.

And if you ever retire and start making pens as a hobby you'll have one foot in the pool already.

Cohiba Shorts are still on yesterday’s 24:24. Great cigarillo at a reasonable price.

I’ve got about eight boxes of them from getting drunk on my couch and then logging in to check out the 24:24 offerings.  This year has brought lots of clearance Hoyo Epi 2, Juan Lopez 2, CoRo, and Partagas E2. 

[teewinot]

Oh yes...I'm not that bright.  I haven't jumped on the 24:24 clearance day yet.

Great idea..thank you!

Monday's on 24"24 will generally carry at least one Robusto clearance or seconds

Maybe more like 12? I’m not sure exactly. It’s been a busy year... ?

My honest recommendation? Leave the space open. If you're new to FOH and 24:24, you'll surely be able to fill the gap with time.

Best of luck!

Smaller cigars take up less room.  

Are smaller cigars less expensive per gram?

This here is best advice, lot of good C & C that fit the bill but everyone’s taste is different. You have to ask yourself couple questions to make best decision.  how often and how much time you have to smoke?  Do you want something to smoke now or do you want lay them down awhile?  

Another thing to keep in mind is it may be a “600 ct” humidor but in reality it’ll hold closer to 500.

My initial thought as well - a humidor for the cigars, not cigars to fit the humidor. Empty SLB, or similar, gradually accrue cigars you actually want.

Punch Coronations , Upmann Corona Major - big boxes 

[teewinot]

So mad I just missed Monte Media Corona on 24

[Hammer Smokin']

For my $$$ the king of value in the robusto game are the Juan Lopez No 2. Oh yeah and they're pretty friggin good too. 

PL Montecarlo's are a no brainer. Ask around! 

I'm currently smoking a Party Short. 

RASCC

HUPC - if you can still find them. If not the Regalías will do just fine.

HUHC

RGPC

RG Perlas

All great value IMO

Happy shopping!

Don’t rub it in.....I’ll give ya $145 for ‘em

[Chompers79]

Quintero Panetelas

I would honestly wait it out and fill it slowly (it won’t take long trust me), unless you enjoy the cheap and cheerful sticks (sub $3 sticks is my definition). I always keep a few boxes of jose l piedra and Quintero for situations when I can’t sit down with a nice pour or beer and fully appreciate a nicer smoke.
