My God, the smell!

[symyn]

I am the same way with my humidor. That's why I put it right beside my bed as a sort of night stand

Another smell that gets me is a lit cigar where you least expect it, like just walking down a street or sometimes even in traffic (most of the time it is me smoking). It is cases like when I have no cigars that makes me jones like a mofo.

This reminds me.....I have to reorganize my humis tomorrow . Yes I too think it smells better in the cuban than the NC humi

The cooler smell really outways the humi smell. I use any excuse to open my cooler but, the best reason is to add some more boxes.

[/quote]pffffft. Come smell my humidor, you'll change your mind.* Ya ever consider that you put one too many Moontrances in your freakin' humidor, making the entire thing smell like spiced sweatsocks?[/quote]

Must Agree. Both my large Cooledors (1 NC & 1 ISOM) smell equally as good. The thought that their are not equally good cigars on the NC side is ridiculous (OpusX, Tatuajes, Anejos, Padron Annis, Partagas 150 & 160, etc.) Just my opinion.

Wilkey just curious, but are you wearing any clothes during your quarterly ritual of the humidor inspection?

Whether I'm actually wearing any clothes is immaterial. I know you're undressing me with your mind.

Yeah, I definitely love to open up my humi to smell the goods. I have an old HDM cab from 98, my first ISOM box, it still smells great, though a bit subdued from the first whiff.

I like to "sniff my stick" for several minutes before lighting up too, it really makes a difference in the way I taste that first puff and sets the tone for the whole smoke.

I also sniff the cap during the smoke too, this helps me detect the more subtle flavors during the smoke too.

Join the crowd, I do this about once a week cause any longer than that and I go through big time withdrawls.

Hey Wilkey,
I have to concur with this phenomenon of ISOM aroma sending shock waves to the pleasure centers of the cerebral cortex - or wherever :blush: There is but one place that I will always use as a benchmark to the greatest smell imagineable, a Canadian B&M that specializes in ISOMs. Whenever I visit this shop (which is too infrequent for my cravings!), I purposely enter the room after exhaling all breath, then take in a deep breath from my nose to take in what my buddy and I have termed the "primordial ooze" of ISOM aroma (we're convinced that this primordial ooze is what permeates all of his 'gars, causing all of them to have a more mature and aged smell); I'll leave the room and repeat the breathing through the nose routine at least 3 to 4 more times, savoring every last delicious aroma time and again until I'm dizzy with delight!

My first reaction to your post was ... "funny"... But after a second I recall that I did the same a week ago.
I was actually rearranging my 05 stock from other years. Went through each box, open it, sniff it... thanks God my wife did not caught me doing this. :laugh:
She thinks that I'm too much into cigars anyway.
Aren't we are all crazy?
