Anticipation is killing me!

[Ziggy]

Well, after reading several reviews I've decided to dive right in and make my first purchase.

How's this for a first go?

Montecristo #2

Cohiba Siglo VI

La Gloria Cubana Tainos

San Cristobal De La Habana La Fuerza

Partagas Shorts

I got my shipping confirmation and the anticipation is driving me nuts.

I think I'm going to need another humidor.:-D

It's all downhill from here. Yes, get a bigger humi. ;-)

Congrats. The anticipation will be even worse when the cigars and sitting in your humidor staring at you every time you open it. But it will be better to let them settle in the humi for a while before smoking.

Yea I've thought about that. How long should I let them rest before I indulge.

Not sure how strong my willpower is going to be once I lay my eyes on them beauties.:-D

Rule of thumb is 30 days. I have been known to break that rule and have smoked some very great cigars fresh off the truck. If you go this route, I would smoke one a month after sitting as well to learn what changes happen with a cigar when given a little time to settle. IMO it does make a difference.

[Porch Smoker]

I agree with BigSlick, wait at least 30 days. Just hide them in the bottom of the humidor under some other boxes you enjoy. That way you will never see them. A month will go by before you know it. Smoke a few from the box, maybe let them age a while after that, buy another box or two or a sampler so you can let those age while you try others.

Nice Zig! Nothing wrong with that order. Take the advice and let 'em rest. I am working too many 150 qt coolidors, so I have to agree that you'll need more room.

Welcome Aboard Zig! Nice sampler! Arrrggghhh. . .

[JeepCop]

Ziggy, I'm in the same boat as you. Nice sampler indeed! I just got my tracking digits too. My first order consisted of:

Boli PC's (box)

Cohiba Siglo II (5'er)

Trini Reyes (5'er)

Party Short (5'er)

Monte #4 (5'er)

JL Seleccion #1 (5'er)

I plan on tackling the delivery man when he pulls up!!!!

Outstanding selection!

Here's some irony. I'm waiting for my tax refund for my selection! :-D
