yeah I can imagine. As soon as I can afford a bigger one I will get it. I would really like to build up a nice collection.

Welcome coach. Definitely consider getting a bigger humidor. Especially if you plan on hanging around and getting in on the trades, PIFs, MAWs and passes. In this environment, a 20ct just aint gonna cut it. My 50 ct lasted me about a month before I needed an upgrade. People around here have a tendency (albeit an appreciated one) to sneak in a stick or two on a trade and they add up......fast. I'm about six months into this hobby and I already have a 200+ collection of great smokes. It happens VERY fast.

All good advice here. I would agree with this the most however. I started with a 50 count humi. Added a 40 count that I bought with the sticks included, added another 50 count and now use two of these for aging and have moved on to a 4 foot long coolerdor.

I'm good now... for a while :)

CAIN isn't as full bodied as I was expecting. But by no means would I smoke it on an empty stomach! The only cigar that almost made me hurl was a RP Olde World Reserve. Which I made the mistake of smoking on empty stomach.

Probably due to the dye, as RP is known for it. The cain wasn't that strong, though the natural was a bit stronger than the maduro. Still not that bad, though I find it tough to find a strong cigar. Now a man o war ruination was a bit much, just be sure not to smoke it in a room where there is no open window. I got some serious butt kicking from the smoke.

I have never had dye come off my cigar from smoking a RP. Especially a OWR or Decade. I suppose I will pay closer attention next time I smoke one. I wonder if he still does it with other cigars...

"I am fairly new to this I like mild / med cigars so far." While I'm more in line with Sight Unseen, preferring the brazilian and camaroon, especially in the evening, if you like the mild I've rarely had a better morning cigar than the purple label. Need to try NUB, though, still haven't had any, must be good from the way folks rave. Welcome here!

I saw on the stogie guys that the Edge Maduro was dyed. Im sure that RP is dying others. I dont think from looking at it that the decade is dyed at all. especially due to 2 of them next to each other having relatively different colors.

Yeah, I just watched that video on thier site. It has been awhile since I had an Edge Maduro. However, I do have several OWR 2nds. I might smoke on this weekend and see if any dye comes off on my hands. IMO, I think dying cigars is stupid. If your cigars go through "rigorous QA checks..." then why the hell do you need to dye your cigars. This could explain why the Decade torpedos are darker than the regular Decade toros...

I've had two decades, both courtesy of Four, and they were DRASTICALLY different colors. Once almost had a conneticut shade to it, while the other was the shade of a MOW Ruination. I was surprised they were even the same stick. And both were torpedo's.
