The inconspicuous box

[Donny]

[MENTION=941]Simon Bolivar[/MENTION] cheers! If I got time to travel I'd be getting some larger orders in but until then this fits the budget and time I get nicely. Maybe once I get round to pm status there could be some lucky gems here too
Also the capacity makes it look like a lot more when there's really only a dozen or so sticks

1st humidor, taking this hobby a bit more seriously. Only 25 capacity but I smoke once a week, twice would be an extravagance.

Hi Donny, This desk top is obviously working for you. You have a hobby & you're in control. No large amounts of cash tied up inside a cabinet big enough to for a child to make into a den!
Just a tip for others thinking of buying their first humi, I would recommend a 50stick as the practical minimum size for maintaining an even humidity. Made easier if you keep at least 20-30 cigars inside & it could also give you a little more variety.

They are not bad at all, I really liked the Speirs and the Dunlop was pleasantly surprising too. For something a bit different at a reasonable price they are certainly worth a try.

Good man I will have a look next time

A recent launch in Glasgow, think it was in May. Had to make a little sampler of these, for research purposes of course.

Interesting I knew the title and history of the Glasgow tobacco trade but didn?t know Graham?s had such a puro

It's more fun emptying than filling
Have fun burning your investment

Adding some shorties to the box. And that box of te-amo was too nice to pass on, last Mexican made cigar I had was great, hopefully so are these.

Nice little haul there - enjoy!

Some great winter smokes right there - that some forward planning i'm sure your old Scout leader would have been proud of (before his accident...)

Enjoy smoking all of those cigars.

Realise that picture is a bit rubbish so listing it is.
2 x Trinidad Reyes
Ramon Allones Small Club Corona
Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo Du Depute
2 x Punch Punch
Buena Vista Petit Corona
Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 - Junior
H. Upmann Half Corona

Got something to put away for a bit till winter rolls in. With the help of the good people on this forum I think this is a good mix. The punch punch though are a special buy I'll admit they have to be saved for a little longer/special occasion.

So Thursday became Saturday.
Picked out the smallest to start. Glassford, a maduro petite Corona.
On inspection it's well made, slight flavour of wholemeal bread initially. Developed into a consistent earthy flavour paired up handsomely with my coffee. Little hits of pepper but only briefly.
Think I'm going to enjoy this brand Bring on the next one!

They are a Nicaraguan blend by Joya de Nicaragua from the Robert Graham stores named tobacco lords. Fitting with the history of Glasgow tobacco lords with the cigar names which is a nice idea. Very nice construction and aroma, price is also agreeable so they must be tested!
First one being lit tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it, mini review tomorrow if I get the chance.

Looking foward to the review buddy

Can't make 'em out, what are they? Apart from cigars obviously!
