Whats up yall,

Im currently looking to add to my stash im ready to upgrade my humidor I may be going the wine cooler route, but Im not to sure what I should be looking for. I dont like to smoke one type or one brand I really love to sample a variety of sticks and since I among some of the best cigar connoisseurs I see you all tote top shelf sticks. I have a few 90 raters but I dont need a full stock of them I just some really good reasonable sticks. Thanks

The one's you really like

but for a more detailed answer

A few good Funtes, La Aurora, Davidoff, OLiva, Tatuaje, Illusione, Pinar Del rio..Those are the ones I like anyway. so yeah load it up with the smokes you like to smoke.

I'm no connoisseur Man it all depends on what your tastes are. If it's value your looking for i always have Oliva V, perdomo lot 23 and regular padron line on hand. The rule of thumb is keep sticks in stock that you like to smoke.

There is a lot of good stuff out there, maybe list what you've liked and the price range you are looking for. That would help to narrow it down.

Personally I like to have Nub Maduros, Padron 2000 Maduro, CAO Piranha, DPG Firecracker, and Henry Clays in my humi all the time. However you may feel different.

My approach has been to build up a nice array of tried and true flavor profiles, so when I reach in the box I'll be able to pick a smoke that fits my mood. Then there's the daily smokes, cheap reliable and satisfying, and finally a section for cigars I'm looking forward to trying when I have the time to sit down, chill out and really pay attention.

My problem is that 90+ sampler from cbid (10 90+ cigars for like $30) is staring at me and I am torturing myself about which one to try first...

It's all about finding what you like, everyone's tastes are different. I(like many) made the mistake of rushing to fill a humidor to find I had smokes that I didn't care for a year later. It's a sprint not a marathon, smoke what you like.

Do you mean it's a marathon not a sprint?
