Where my Backwoods and Swisher Sweets bros at?

I'm actually a big fan of swisher sweets. That's a great cheap cigar IMOBennyBeaver said:Where my Backwoods and Swisher Sweets bros at?

As I've been getting more into the throat cancer hobby, I find myself continually amazed at how much "value" there is out there in cigars. I play mostly in the $8.00 to $12.00 range and there's no shortage of 90 to 95 rated sticks.RaceBannon said:
On the Lou price list you get the most for the least. That's value. But not cheap.YellowSnow said:
Montecristo as the value cigar. Only at HCH.RaceBannon said:Montecristo 4 is a great value cigar

Yeah Cigar Afficionado has really shined a light on how many good to great 10-15 dollar sticks exist. In the old days everyone just assumed you had to sneak 35 dollar Cohibas into the country muled in your ass to get a great cigar. Not true at all. There have never been more great world class cigars that are relatively affordable than right now. Hell if you can get Opus at retail they are between 15-25 a stick! Top Carrillo's routinely at like 12 bucks a stick. That's incredible ROI.

So been really trying to pick off some great Opus singles here and there off Puro Trader and I have slowly assembled a very legit Opus collection. On the far far left are the 5 remaining vintage (2006) Cohiba Magicos Maduros I am protecting with my life and only allowing myself one per year _ I was gifted these by a very wealthy watch collector I know and they are likely the most valuable cigars I will ever own. I've had a couple already and they are truly magical. Then you have my rarest of the rare Cubano stuff in the four boxes surrounding all the Opus. All the rest of those singles are rare to ultra rare Opus. I consider this level of my cabinet to be the "baller" level where all my most rare and expensive stuff lives. It's also just below the Magna system so I feel like it gets the most even humidity in the whole setup. I fucking love cigars.
Also, iHavanas is running a monthly special on Davidoff Grand Cru No 5's, and they had a 15 dollar off Christmas code word deal so I snagged a box of 25 for 170 bucks. That's like stealing them. Any place in the US that has them they are over 300 a box. VICTORY!

How does the humidor know how to keep the Cubans dry and the non Cubans moist ?Swaye said:So been really trying to pick off some great Opus singles here and there off Puro Trader and I have slowly assembled a very legit Opus collection.

This is the question that has confounded the sages for an age. I am using the "split the difference" technique and while not ideal I think it's getting the job done. It is a conundrum. If I was made of money I would get another humidor made just like this one and keep the Cubanos in one, and all the Honduran/Nicaraguan/Dominican in another. Run the Cubans at 62 rh and the ROW at 69 rh. As it is I keep the humi set to 65 which bounces between 65-67.YellowSnow said:
