I’ve slowly started my collection of cigars … it hasnt gotten as big as my alcohol collection yet but it will …
the first one ive ever owned is a cheap cheap cheep $9 cigar … which the name i have no idea of …
then yesturday i went and bought a Montecristo #2
of course one day i hope i could get a Gurkha His Majesty’s Reserve … the most expensive cigar now …
over $750 for one stick …
of course like all expensive things that might just be overly exaggerated and overrated and a total waste of money …
i mean you would think … premium tabacco infused with Louis XIII … you hope it tastes beautiful …
i mean Louis XIII !!!! … lol
before the Gurkha His Majesty’s Reserve ever become the public’s awing spot light …
the Altadis of Spain Behike Cigars were king of the cigar world …
only 4000 of these cigars have been made so even if i had the money …. $ 420 each … i probably wouldnt have the chance to buy it …
the 4000 stick limit actually makes the Altadis of Spain Behikes more tempting than the Gurkha His Majesty’s Reserves … because 100 boxes of the GHMR (short … im getting bored of typing that name) are made every year …
so as long as their premium tabaccos are being supplied and the barrels are still filled with Louis XIII … then i still have a chance of buying the GHMR …
thats somewhere in the future … i might have to join the Stonecutter or the Free Masons to get a stick of the Altadis of Spain Behikes …
anyways …
ive done some digging around online and i came across the blog of Lucky7 who is a cigar lover …
since i dont smoke myself i would not know what is good and what is bad …

so … for the next while this would probably be what ill be going for in the next while …
I have also done some snooping around in the care for cigar side of things … i mean the worse part of collecting cigars is not buying the wrong cigar … but its having a bug to smoke your cigar for you …
so the bug im worried most about really is to have a tabacco beattle hatch and eat my cigars …
of course being in canada makes that quite impossible … cause well we have some of the coldest climate around …
but cigars are from the tropics … which makes it more appropriate for them to be in a warm climate … around 70 F …
which most sites then talk about purchasing a humidor … which keeps everything at a certain temperature and humidity …
