No clue.  I saw that post but I've never seen that symbol on a cigar box.  Not saying it isn't there, I may have missed it.  I know with a water pillow you can keep cigars in the original cedar box.

Cool, yeah, I put mine in the box the guy gave me, just placed the water pillows inside as well. Is it better to keep the cigars in the original plastic wrappings they come in or okay to take them out?

[socalrappy700]

Better to take them out.  Just keep that water pillow wet.

But check out cigars international or thompsons for a humidor, they have some crazy deals.

Good find Brian.

Bóveda is the company that makes the humdity packets found in boxes of Arturo Fuente cigars (you may recognize the blue water droplet symbol.) It will assure the humidity level is right for at least one month. Just make sure that when you close the box it's closed tight, like your humidor would be. Speaking of which, these products work very well at maintaining humidity levels in your humidor, too.

Something else that might help you Randy.

Thanks for the link Brian, I had a few questions answered that I was too chicken to ask.

I'm more of a flavored cigar person myself.  So far the best that I have found are the Cojimar Vanilla's.  The CAO Moontrace and Bella Vanilla's are good as well.  All three are pretty mild.

Well guys. I have only smoked Cigars a couple of times and enjoyed. Both times they were cubans. So i figured i would start out with something cheap and see how is goes. This is what i just ordered.

Tell me what u think.
Thanks

I find it better not to start cheap because you really don't get the good experience you would with a better cigar.  I'm not saying you need to go premium but you can do much better and still have a great smoke. 

Also most likely you had a fake Cuban, its really hard to find the real thing here in the states.  If you can find them that are $50+ a stick.

I don't know much about cigars yet, but that doesn't look like a bad deal at all.. Normally $110 for $30. And you get a humidor w/ it. Looks like a good score.
