    1) Nice. Our cabinets will be very similar in size, though you got me by 8 inches and your goes deeper (lulz). @Doog_de_Jour is now your biggest fan

    2) I usually get my various Opus singles through those Fox deals, and they always have a Black Friday special where they release 500 dollar kits that actually feature the REALLY hard to get Opus like Purple Rain and Big Bad Mother Fuckers (BBMFs). I bought it last year. I also found a place that sells boxes of Opus, including the rares (I mean let's face it ALL Opus are rare, but even within Opus they have what I call the ULTRA RARES). So, if you are ever interested PM me directly and I will send you to my secret hideout. I just bought an entire box of Opus Perfection #4s from them. 42 Opus! But, a buddy wanted to split it with me so I will have 21 from this score, which triples my Opus stash in one go. VICTORY! This place even has crazy rare shit like God's Whisper (1200 bucks for a box of 10) and BBMFs (around 1000 bucks for a box of 10). It is almost impossible to find full Opus boxes, so if interested in going big for a smoke one a year Uber cigar, ping me.

    3) Speaking of ULTRA rares, I just found a place that had a Liga Privada sampler pack with one H99 in it. The H99 is an event only smoke and they are fucking hard to get your hands on. Super hard. I had to pay 75 bucks for the sampler, which features a bunch of cigars I didn't want to get the one fucking H99 I did want, but it isn't terrible. Comes with a Tabak and Deadwood infused, which I will give away, but also has an Undercrown Dogma and Shady XX whish I like. A Herrera Esteli Lonsdale which I really like, and a Joya de Nicaragua that I have never tried. I bought two samplers to get two of those gloriuos H99s. This place (Tobacco Locker) also has some of the best Padron Sampler deals I've found, so I picked up a Padron Cigar of the Year Sampler while I was there.

    4) I did a little reading on your Caldwell recommendation. That may enter my small batch exploration in the future. Look to be great smokes. Appreciate the heads up. I'll add Caldwell to ADVentura as small batch to try.

    5) Cubans. I will let you know. I bought from multiple sources (all came recommended) to get the mondo order together. Cuban Lou's always ships with Boveda, and that is the only one I have experience with to this point. But, one of the outfits I bought from (EGM) actually let's you add a Boveda pack during checkout (costs like 2 bucks). I have orders coming from three other places and I will let you know when I receive it all how it turned out - iHavana, Cigars of Habanos and Friends of Habano (Australian outfit). I know you can trust Cuban Lou's, they just didn't have all I wanted. Had to shop around to put the order together as I was buying 7 boxes of Cubans and three of those were stupid expensive limited release, so nobody had it all in one place. I got the 50th Anniversary Cohiba Humidor featuring two Behike! Also picked up the Trinidad La Trova LCDH and the Cohiba 2017 LE Talismans! Then 4 regular boxes of Cohiba and Trinidad (2 each). Oh, one of the outfits had a special going on tins (5 cigars) of Partagas Capitols so I grabbed that as well. Assload of Cubans coming. Cuban Lous usually takes a couple of weeks. Most of the others say expect 18-22 business days when you order. Most of the places have a delivery guarantee so if they get impounded by customs they will either send you your money back or send more cigars - but not all of them do that, so check. If you want total security use iHavana great prices and I personally know a guy who got reimbursed for a Customs snag. Cuban Lou's also has a delivery guarantee. I'd look at those two places hard if you want to get your feet wet with Cubans. Ping me with any questions.

    Temecula has a warm Mediterranean climate (Köppen:Csa).[32] August is typically the hottest month of the year with December being the coldest month. Most precipitation occurs from November to March with February being the wettest month. Winter storms generally bring moderate precipitation, but strong winter storms are not uncommon especially during "El Niño" years. The driest month is June. Annual precipitation is 14.14 inches. Morning marine layer is common during May and June. From July to September, Temecula experiences hot, dry weather with the occasional North American monsoonal flow that increases the humidity and brings isolated thunderstorms. Most of the storms tend to be short-lived with little rainfall. During late fall into winter, Temecula experiences dry, windy northeastern Santa Ana winds. Snowfall is rare, but Temecula has experienced traces of snowfall on occasion,[33] some as recently as December 2014.[34] A rare F1 tornado touched down in a Temecula neighborhood on February 19, 2005.[35]
    Please don't quote the Bible like this.

    Way too many chapters and verses.

    I should also point out that the cigar places for Cubans I referenced above are regarded by the cigar community as legit places to buy real Cubans from. Cuban cigars are one of the most faked things on the planet. It is estimated that a quarter of all the "Cubans" in this country are fake. Do not just go best price shopping online. You will most likely buy shitty Mexican tobacco with really convincing wrappers and boxes and have wasted good money for shitty smokes.

    That 50th Anniversary travel humidor from Cohiba is tough to beat, but I have a 2007 vintage LCDH coming from Trinidad that will numb your brain, and a travel humidor special edition set of Robustos from Trinidad that makes my dong tingle. Much more goodness to come. Take that Customs! VICTORY!

    I keep looking at the cigars positioned in that humidor and it looks so pristine that I wouldn't want to mess up the look and take any out to smoke them.

    And ... I have an undying respect for the craftsmen of Cuba who had to custom cut the specific shapes for each slot, for each cigar, using nothing but nail clippers and miscellaneous items that wash up on the beach after hurricane season because ... you know ... communism. You and your western hand tools have nothing on a people who can still make 57 Chevys run like new.

    Very cool set ups you guys have. I’ve never really liked cigars tho. It’s hard to smoke something and not inhale. I don’t get the point.

    I was given a Cuban a year or two ago. The cigar aficionado I was with didn’t look thrilled when I put it out to light a Camel.

    I didn't either when I could still smoke Camel straights.
