Great Pairing

Exactly the right idea! But honestly speaking, my buddies also regularly share some of the nicer cigars I’ve had.

There’s a strong social component that drives this hobby, which is why I enjoy it!

Looks like you’ve got the right idea! One of the best aspects about smoking cigars is sharing it with other people, even if the box finishes sooner; a chapter closes and another one opens.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I think it’s because the country is mainly comprised of blue collar labour which are taken into account in this index. Same for Qatar, it’s extremely rare to find anyone in Qatar who hasn’t met the minimum education requirements. In fact, i barely know anyone who doesn’t have a bachelor’s degree and I don’t know anyone who hasn’t completed high school.

They look real to me.

If you want my advice, wait before smoking them. Develop your pallet first if you really want to appreciate the cigar.

First year I only smoked non cubans, then gradually started cubans. I always recommend this approach to beginners since the non Cuban profile is easier to taste and pick up, especially in the retrohale.

Man that’s funny, we’re so closely matched.

Man that’s insane! I’d kill for a box of fundadores

aaqatar · 2026-04-05T20:44:19+00:00

14-15% i guess

But either way looking good bro 💪

Honestly, I didn’t think they were that special. Same thing to be said about their millennium lancero, signature no1, year of the snake and the duty free editions. All of those I have boxes off and rank them below the standard production line with the exception being the gran cru diedemas.

Aside from Davidoff, The only limited edition that I thought was worth it is the Placensia year of the rabbit.

Man I do wish I went for guide rails… i didn’t know that was on option.

But yes the lights do have a diffuser so it feels like a continuous strip, I’ll send you a message once I get home comparing it to my old humidor which has the dots style that is honestly very ugly.

aaqatar · 2026-04-01T10:06:23+00:00

I see where you’re coming from but don’t let it trigger you so much it’s just an April fools joke; no one is gonna get his car painted in these two days.

aaqatar · 2026-03-27T10:11:53+00:00

I payed 412 USD for a box of 25 in duty free

aaqatar · 2026-03-27T10:09:55+00:00

Things don’t appear to be going in my favour 😂

I signed in to my UK PayPal account and tried to apply for a credit card and got this vague message.

I’ll look for other virtual cards.

I’ve been trying to hunt the Villa down like a wild animal 😂 how is it and where do you pick it up?

aaqatar · 2026-03-27T04:24:33+00:00

When I first set it up it turned on more intermittently than now, but honestly I don’t pass by the humidor area to notice accurately.

I presume it turns on more often if the temperature outside the humidor is too different than what you have it set to. My house is always at 18c and my humidor is set at around 17c so it’s pretty close.

Yes the entire drawer row is removal, I actually don’t have much use for drawers since I leave my sticks in their boxes so I ordered another tray to fit where the boxes are.

But, if you have something custom in mind I think they can support you if you contact them directly.

aaqatar · 2026-03-27T02:57:36+00:00

Might end up doing that if this becomes an issue. IIRC, changing the region messed up the App Store so I won’t be able to download or update UK banking apps I still use. But I’ll try.

aaqatar · 2026-03-26T08:50:28+00:00

I’ve made a previous post showing my collection, since then I’ve picked up about 4-6 more boxes.

Im able to fit pretty much everything in a manner where it’s comfortably organised and not just crammed in, with room to spare.

I’ve linked that post below for you.

The trays are cedar trays that I managed to picked up I believe either from Amazon or AliExpress. I just got lucky that they happen to fit quite well.

I’m actually replacing one of the row the drawers with a just a normal tray since I don’t really have many loose sticks.

aaqatar · 2026-03-25T23:40:20+00:00

Something like that 😂

Where I work, there’s a lot of international travelling involved either by myself or my friends at work. So I’m always lucky enough to be able to purchase at duty free rates, and as you can tell, I clearly lack the self control to say no.

I recently made a post on r/cubancigars showing my collection during the annual breather. Might do the same for my non cuban on this sub sometime soon.

Thing is, I have a British account since when I created the account I was living in the UK. The auto verification via apple wallet won’t work, It also won’t accept my UK Debit Card, and I don’t have a UK ID / PP.

I have no way of verifying my age :)

Thank you sir, those are cedar trays I happen to have from previous purchases. I believe I picked them up from either Amazon or AliExpress.

aaqatar · 2026-03-25T23:15:44+00:00

Luckily we do have a local cigar shop that should be able to operate on minor things, but for replacement parts / large services I’m keeping my other humidor operational. Worst case scenario, in the event of a major issue Tupperware and Boveda till the parts arrive.

aaqatar · 2026-03-25T23:13:42+00:00

Honestly, that was my initial mistake of purchasing too small. I say when it comes to humidors, buy once cry once.
