B&M = Brick and Mortar = Store where you buy cigars.
Coffin = A type of cigar box that holds one cigar. Although the Tatuaje Franks were released in a box that resembled a coffin.

"The Frank" if you haven't seen it yet, is a very limited release cigar that Pete Johnson put out at Halloween.

This is an Opus X Chili Pepper Coffin from the Opus 22 2007 box set.

I have a cigar that came like that.
If that considered a coffin? Should I store it in my humidor like that or take it out.

However ye preffer. If it's in it will still be humidified (the same with tubes (even closed) and cello). If so, it'll help protect the cigar from too much manipulation, as well as humidity spikes; and if not, it won't take as much space.
Its a coffin too!

When one buys a box of cigars would they all come in coffins or would they come in a standard box? My girlfriend bought me this one as a nice surprise one day and I'm to afraid to smoke it, mostly because now it has sentimental value. Is this type of cigar one that would get better with age and how long is to long to keep a cigar as it is aging.
Not all cigars come inside coffins, inside boxes. Actually there are not so many like that, but, for example, Partagas Culebras come inside a coffin each and the coffins do come within a box. Perdomo Edicion de Silvo is so as well.

Are the Perdomo Edicion de Silvo worth a try, I found some natural singles for $17.50 and the maduros for $22.00
1 cool thing about coffins are that you can smoke the cigar and keep the coffin for the sentimental value. Win/Win Situation.

That is true, would it suffice as a way of traveling with a cigar over the weekend. Or would you suggest a travel humidor.
a travel humi for sure. Even in a coffin it it not held tight and could sustain damage. also the coffin a no function at preserving humidity.

Any suggestions?
I'd suggest some type of travel humidor. For single cigars, I use an ABS plastic tube like this one:

The only place I can currently find them online is here:

Some B&M stores sell these with their store logo as promotional items.
Same question same answer. Check with our sponsors first. Most carry very nice stuff.
Coffins, are what people who have died are put in to prior to being burried. :headroll::headroll::headroll:
