If you want to go to Heroes they carry similar/greater quality items but they will be MUCH more expensive since they really cater to high-end folks. So it's up to you if you feel like a local trip or just ordering it. With heavy experience with both, I'd go online. |

mmm , love me a fine cigar - post up pics of your humi's
as far as cubans go, the most immitated brands are the biggest brands like anything else. Cohiba for example is the biggest, or most well known. look for three dimensional raised / dimpled rings that have the right colors and no color bleeding / overlapping. also look for the edge that you would cut to be wrapped three times (three spiral lines) this is a supposed to be a very difficult technique that only cubans artisans can do. i can post pics if you need help. also, if you dont smoke regularly, why worry about smoking a cuban? you likely wont be able to tell the difference or appreciate the difference, so you can just pay less for a non cuban dominican that wont be a knock off and would also be an excellent cigar. edit - oh yea the humidifier gel wont leak as long as you wait about 3-5 minutes for all the water to be absorbed. -make sure you use the alcohol (i think that is what is recommended) or distilled water. i just keep a gallon jug of distilled water around to refill these.

Actually, it's not alcohol, it's a solution of water & propylene glycol.

I don't have a humidor as I only smoke 1 or 2 cigars a year, sometimes more. I do enjoy a good Cohiba though and on occasion, have been known to buy an issue of Cigar Aficionado magazine.
