Extremely new to this addicting hobby. I’m 48, have never smoked up until a month ago. I’ve only smoke a few over the month but have taken a serious interest in the collecting part of the hobby. I have been reading many of your threads and find that this is more of a family and everyone tends to give great advice (with a little crap given as well). Thanks for accepting me as part of the family and look forward to learning from each of you.

Welcome from STL! Being new to cigars is an exciting time, with all the new smokes to try out there... and yes, this place is very much like family - good advice and giving each other crap are 2 things that will never go out of style, lol

Early advice, dont store infused cigars with non infused, tupperdors are the easiest way to start a collection, ziplock makes a nice line that I like, has a gasket in the lid, a few boveda packs and you are good to go. Amazon has spanish cedar trays you can get, or what I did was go to my local brick and mortar and buy several empty boxes and take the lids off, much cheaper route than buying trays. Also, buy 5 packs for now, dont buy boxes. Small batch is a site sponsor and they have nice 5ers and samplers to try.

Containers I mentioned
Ziploc WeatherShield 60 Quart Storage Box, 2 Pack, Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BMHVTC8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_d815BbK74P2G8

Bovedas, most prefer 65, 69, or if it's really dry in your area in the winter 72.
Boveda 62-Percentage RH Individually Over Wrapped 2-Way Humidity Control Pack, 60gm https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FWPQ8XQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_y915BbH9NSRXJ

Spanish Cedar Cigar Tray, Adjustable Divider, Fits Large Humidors, Made with Solid Spanish Cedar, by Quality Importers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B9234HE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_P-15BbV8E131J
