Newbie Training Cigar Pass-- For February 07-

[Saxjazzman]

BT is next and i think Tom is after?

That sounds about right. Are you ready BurntTongue??

I have a pair of desktops. One 50 ct from Thompson, which was my first humidor ever. Grew out of that one after a couple years, and picked up a 150 Ct CAO Black Humidor. CI had a special on the 'dor for like $35 if you bought a box of CAO Black. Being that the humidor by itself was at least $100, I figured it was as good a time as any to upgrade. Now, the "good" stcks sit in there, and my regular ones go in the small box.

I'm slowly realizing that even this isn't enough, and a friend of mine that I usually split my buys with just bought another desktop, and that one is going to be used for some of my overflow.

In reading this post, and with overflow the way it is in our hobby, you may want to consider in getting a coolidor. The good think about one is that you can set it up almost in one day; a trip to Wal Mart for the coolidor and a trip to Pet Smart for the beads and Voila!!

Yeah, I'm going to have to do something soon. I'm going after this weekend to my local and renting out a box over there for some extra space. Then I'm going to look at maybe making one out of an old cabinet, like some other guys down in the humidor forum have done.

They look great to me!! I see you are putting a Tat Cojonu, how do you like it? I particularly enjoy the Gran Cojonu 6x60. I have to take time for those puppies as it is a great smoke to top a meal and end a day to.

Thanks for playing and again for your generosity. I think we all had fun in this pass and learned a lot!!

Dear Gentlemen,

We are nearing the end of this great pass. Of course, I am just a newbie here at CP, but in my very humble opinion I think we did great!! The pass moved nicely along with no real hang ups except the weather when it was up North, we had our disagreements about puts and takes but we worked them out as the fine BOTLs we are, and the generosity!! What can I say about the generosity. You have all trully given more than you received, in the true spirit of what CP is all about and I thank you for that.

If it is not too much trouble and for historical record for other newbies to read, I would like to make a final request as host. If you could post your comments, recommendations, or observations about this pass, it may help another newbie to understand what went into it. It is sort of our way to pave the way for those coming after us.

Again, thanks for playing and will be looking forward to reading your comments, if any. :thumbs:
