Cigar Smokers: the Desert Island Humidor

[jmowreader]

You're getting ready to go somewhere they don't have cigar stores and stay there for six months. You know you'll want a cigar every day, and we're sending you with a 300-count humidor. (300? In case you want to share, of course.)

What do you fill it with?

Here are the rules:
1) All of the cigars you select must be legally obtainable in the United States--IOW, no Cubans.
2) All of the cigars will be long-filler handmades. No Swishers.
3) You can put up to one 25-count box of any one cigar in the humidor. No filling the 'dor with 12 boxes of Punch EMS lonsdales, for instance. (Which is what I'd probably do if I really had to fill a humidor like this.)
4) The humidor has one compartment, so unless you like all of your cigars to taste that way, think hard before putting Acids or Lars Tetens in it.
5) You may have one box of cigars that cost more than $10 per stick.
6) The box must have 300 cigars in it when you depart.

What I'd do:

A box of 25 Punch EMS Lonsdales.
A box of 25 Dunhill Churchills (my over-$10 box)
A box of 25 H. Uppman EMS coronas
A box of 25 Remedios EMS Clemenceaus
20-count bundles of the following JR Alternates: Punch Black Prince, Cohiba Esplendidos, Cohiba Tainos
A box of 20 Por Larranaga Piramide
A box of 20 Jose Marti Piramide
A box of 20 Casa Blanca Natural Lonsdale
A box of 20 El Rey del Mundo Flor de LaVonda in EMS
A box of 20 Maria Mancini Magic Mountain
And a box of 25 JR Genuine Counterfeit Cuban Perfectos, of which I'd have to smoke five to get down to the 300-cigar limit.

1. Cubans are by far the best

Please, never smoke a cigar while drinking fine wine.
Such consumers are laughed at to the point of crying.

I love the Cuban Perfectos. Aluminum case with a cedar surround.
If I don't have Perfectos, I don't bother.

2. Most foreign countries sell Cubans

I appreciate the post. But, when I travel I smoke Cubans... and Cubans only.
No comparison.

3. Another option

Take out the Cigars....sell them to the highest bidders on ebay and use the space in the humidor to protect your 150 year old Gran Marnier on your journeys ;-)
