Welcome to the world. It's a great hobby. I stopped for a while, so I too am getting the pallet back to where it should be. I definitely recommend writing down what you like and don't like. Once you can build a solid foundation for what you like, it's easier to fin new things with similar qualities (and eventually you'll know what to look for). Lmk how the humidor holds up. I need to pick one up myself.
And oh yeah, February birthdays do rock!!! 24 on the 25th
