This from the guy who wants to drop 300 bucks on a tabletop cutter. Heh. Then again, tabletops are cool AF. There are cheaper versions I learned.UW_Doog_Bot said:

My daddy has a Cartier Cigar Cutter...bourgeoisie piss clan gonna bourgeoisieSwaye said:Just bought a 150 cigar humi. Went partial baller style and got a Daniel Marshall. But, I got it from their "dent and scratch" private stash and paid 645 bucks for a humidor that retails for 1300 (but I see them on "sale" for 1000 bucks online). Looked at Elie Bleu....lolwut? 4K for a 125 cigar humidor? 6K for a small cabinet? lulwutagain? That's true baller status shit.
I'll take factory blemished all day long to save that kind of quid. Probably should have just used the igloo but I hate money and like nice things. Anyway, it's called the treasure chest, and I should be all set now to store bulk cigars in there and then transfer to the smaller desktop 10 at a time or whatever for my quick smoke needs.
@UW_Doog_Bot created a monster. Also ordered over 600 bucks worth of Diamond Crown, Montecristo and RP top shelf shit in boxes. Few more weeks I'll be all set for everything. Appreciate all the good advice. Will report back about Fox cigars. I have 4 separate orders in with them so we will see how they all come out and if they throw in any freebies.
Also, just when I thought I was all set @UW_Doog_Bot asks me what kind of cutter I have (cheap), so now i am looking at top line cutters like Davidoff, Vino and ST Dupont. By the time this is all over I'll have 2 grand tied up in getting set up and getting 100 good cigars and about 30 meh ones. Good times. Who knew cigars were so expensive? I do like the fact that forums suggest a good humidor can last your lifetime, so most of this feels like upfront costs to get everything set up and rolling, and from there it's just humidification product, butane replacements, and the actual cigars. Good times. I have deeply enjoyed this and am loving having a stogie every single night on the deck. The smells of the trailer park and the police lights adds real ambiance to the experience.
The reality is that a cigar cutter is a glorified knife. It needs to be stainless steel, sharp, and built with some integrity. Other than that. It's all branding.
100 bucks...

That said, because I know you love branding and status symbols. I'd wait and see if anything plays out with all the business with Fox or if you end up at Tiffany's with the wife having to hold bags maybe you'll find a silver one while contemplating the mistake you made in getting married.

The first thing Mrs Swaye is doing is throwing out all the cigar stuff
Find a nice place outside to smoke them -
Tabletops are a different monster, it's kind of like buying good cast iron. You don't want to get some cheap chinese forged junk. You want to buy something that will be built well and stay sharp even past the zombie apocalypse.Swaye said:

FYI to @RaceBannon I looked it up and it looks like Daniel Marshall has one of their factories and an outlet in Santa Ana...I think I'll be making a trip.

My research showed Daniel Marshall are without doubt the best value in high end humidors. They are half (or less) the price of other elite makers and beat pretty much all of them in Cigar Afficionado testing. They are really good deals for what you get at the price point.UW_Doog_Bot said:FYI to @RaceBannon I looked it up and it looks like Daniel Marshall has one of their factories and an outlet in Santa Ana...I think I'll be making a trip.

It's beautiful. Keep in mind that when they say a humi will hold 150, they mean aprox 75-100. -
As for cutters ... I'll throw in my advice, for whatever that's worth ... I'm big on V-cutters.
Seems like the cap stays more intact and I get a better draw, but your mileage my vary. -

get a cutter that has a stopper on the back, so if you are intoxicated, it stops you from cutting too much off...

Damn, swaye. You don’t half ass things.
Don’t try crack. -

Just got my first order from Fox. 4 free cigars. 2 Perla Del Mars (mid grade), a two Herrera Estelis. SO not high end stuff, but still decent and free.
-
ALso just put in an order for 3 more boxes. FML. But, Ill have about a hundred stogies to rest in the new humidor when it's ready in a month. And still have about 15-20 sitting in desktop to keep me good until 2 months from now when the 5 boxes of goodness are ready to go. FUCK YES. /flexfridayfaggots

Figured I would resurrect this. Just got my hot little hands on a bunch of uber high end Opus X, Don Carlos Anniversary and God of Fire sticks. When 13 sticks cost you over 600 bucks, you know you've lost it.
And I now have 4 humidors, all completely bursting at the seams full. Wineador (probably 350+ sticks in there), Coolador (another 200), Daniel Marshall (80ish), and an acrylic Boveda (50ish).
Cigars are almost better than watches. Almost. -

Thanks to @swaye's recomendation I was tripping ballz on the #2 Cigar of the Year around the Mayberry fire pit last weekend. I don't even have to do the research. Just listen 'em to Big Chief.
