I haven't posted in here for quite some time and thought that it would be nice to share some vintage cigars that just came in. I like to collect and smoke as many different vitolas de salida as possib

Four kids sounds pricey haha. Great choice with Partagas though. My first ever CC purchase was the Partagas Coronas Junior A/T.

The best thing I learned about smoking Cubans on a budget was patience. You'll find a lot of people that smoke one as soon as the postman drops them off. That often results in wasting a cigar. Then they try another after 1 month, 2 months, 3 months etc...

I always wait 6 months under my ideal humidor conditions, then I give the first one a try. Based on what I taste, I decide the pace that I'm going to smoke the rest at. I'll also set 1-3 aside for long-term aging if I think they'll continue to improve. 

If you need a daily smoke, there are always acceptable non-Cuban options in the $2-4 range to help pass the time.

Thats my current plan. I have a few hundred NCs stored and that's what I'm smoking most of the time.

These were my first Cuban purchase too, when I started.  Solid choice!

That’s actually the biggest reason I got into CCs. My dad bought fake esplendidos from a guy he worked with. After that I wanted real ones, and now here I am! Haha

Did you get any of them a couple weeks ago from 24:24? I ordered 15 that arrive next week, first since that fake box. Curious as to how they look.
