    Hello everyone! I recently started smoking cigars I REALLY REALLY enjoyed smoking my cigars and would like to keep going and try others. :) My first box is pretty good but it has a pretty hefty price that I really can't afford all the time. Also, sometimes people ask for cigars and I just...

    Thanks for all the great advice. I'll read around for some recommendations on the regular cigar thread. I read the article- The gov got a nice Christmas gift last year!

    I am currently experiencing a mixture of sensations. ??? I'm glad there's something you like about me, but I don't understand why I'm being asked out. I guess I'll eventually learn. :(

    Their experience and my gut. There is a small possibility that because I'm new everyone thinks it's cool to lie to me and lead me in the wrong direction. But, what kind of BOTLs would they be if they did this? I've read enough to trust the opinion of the members of this forum without...

    New fan of cigars. Made first purchase now I think they might be fake

    I believe that there is a difference between asking for a verification of a source and verification of the legitimacy of a cigar. For all you know, I COULD HAVE gotten these from a friend who got them from another friend and not a specific source (after all, we aren't allowed to discuss sources...

    Well, nobody has verified my source. Just my cigars! Which is what I wanted. But if this is your way of volunteering :whistling: ps- I bought my first domestics a few days ago! I'm going to save the rest of these until I try the domestics. Plus, I think I'm burning through these way too...

    THANK YOU for that post! :) It makes me feel better about being so stressed over the legitimacy of my cigars. I'm glad I'm not/ I wasn't the only one!

    New fan of cigars. Made first purchase now I think they might be fake

    Thanks to everyone! I shall relax and enjoy all of my cigars. I think I was just very upset at the thought that my cigars perhaps weren't legit. But now, I will continue to purchase with confidence. I also edited my original post to remove info I learned is "tantamount to posting a source."...

    New fan of cigars. Made first purchase now I think they might be fake

    I believe so. I've been reading through the sticky and have my humidor set up. The only issue I believe I have is that I don't have a hydrometer. However, I'm using maintenance-free humidipaks that are supposed to stay at 72% relative humidity. Do I still need a hydrometer if I'm using these...

    New fan of cigars. Made first purchase now I think they might be fake

    Thank you so much for your confirmation! It makes me happy to know that I wasn't ripped off and that I'm smoking the real deal. However, I do have two more questions for future reference. Is there a reason the Epicure No2 bar code number didn't pass the authenticity check at the Habanos...

    I also found that I had taken pictures of the ash and the bundle cigars when I first pulled it out of the box. Also, the box included the following: -A yellow ribbon that tied around the cigars that said "hoyo de monterrey"," le hoyo du depute", and "HABANA" centered and on different layers...

    New fan of cigars. Made first purchase now I think they might be fake

    Hello! As I stated in my introduction, I am 19 years old. I am very new when it comes to cigars. In fact, I had my first cigar yesterday! Since this is something I really want to get into, I decided to try an ISOM cigar first and compare that to others. Needless to say, I was VERY excited when...
