I have a 150 cigar humidor with room for another box, at present filled with the Antano Dark Corojos in both the corona and torpedo sizes and 18 aged cigars from a trade. With only room for another box, I'm getting another 170 cigar humidor to accommodate more of the ADCs torpedos as well as another box, probably the Don Pepin Serie JJ Maduros.

My goal is to fill both humidors with 4 or so lines of full-bodied cigars so I can get some variety in my smokes. But having to smoke only the cigars I've got, basically the Dark Corojos, is a pleasure in and of itself.

Having smoked the pipe for 9 years I've never had the urge to really give cigars a try; so I'm doing that now.

I have this 250 count humidor [ http://www.cigarsinternational.com/prodDisp.asp?item=M-TDH250&kc=CII210 ]



In it are about 60 Gurkha signature Gold Label Toro's, a dozen or so Punch Gran Puro's, some Gurkha Grand Age perfecto's, a dozen or so Partagas Spanish Rosado's and some miscellaneous odds and ends. I replaced the stock humidifiers with beads and love it, they keep the thing at 70 for months on end with no worries. I'd like to get a smaller desktop humidor to keep a few smokes in so I can use the big humidor for deep storage and not have to open it so often.

A line suggestion would be Rocky Patel's Vintage 1990 and 1992 they're AWESOME as well as his Decade. Pretty much anything by Rocky Patel is good, he's a true blending master. Also Alec Bradley's Tempeset and Maxx are really good. And Cusano 18 which are already well aged if you want a very smooth and mellow experience.

WOW ADC are a fairly heavy blend. We just had a Drew Estate show and I picked up a bunch of these. We go to dinner every friday at a local mexican joint and they are great after dinner to balance some of that spicy food

Puff Daddy, that's one fine humidor!

Cigar2you, a year later from my last post to this thread, I hope the Dark Corojos hit the spot for you. I sold my last 15 as I wasn't tasting much, but in retrospect, I probably should have kept them and came back to them later.

I'm finally settled in as regards humidors with two Savoy X-Large and a no-name medium that is probably the best of the three. I've smoked a lot of cigars in the last year, really enjoying them more than pipes; but the pipe is making a resurgence—we'll see.

Right now my favorite cigars are Arturo Fuente Don Carlos and Anejo, and Liga Privada T52; favorite pipe tobaccos are Hamborger Veermaster and Escudo.

With cigars I've finally learned how to enjoy medium-strength.
