An Embarrassment o' Riches

In today's mail...


That would be a box each of our two favorite cee-gars: the Acid Deep Dish and the Partagas Spanish Rosado (in the 6x54 Familia size).   There's something of a back-story here and it has to do with the post title.  I re-stocked the humidor in normal fashion about ten days ago.  Then cigar.com came to me with a "you decide what's on sale" year end deal and I couldn't resist the price quoted on what you see above.  In the meantime SN1 gifted me with an additional 24 cigars for Christmas... which created a storage crisis, the upshot being we have nearly 100 sticks on hand and storage space for only 50.

The solution:


The Poor Man's Humidor: two gallon-size baggies, 24 cee-gars to each baggie, along with three Humi-Care humidification pillows in each bag.  Crisis averted.  If we were living in Former Happy Days we'd still be in possession of our capacious humidor (as befits a gentleman) and there would be no crisis.  There were other benefits available to me in Former Happy Days as well, but we won't belabor the point.  I believe it's time to fire up one of those Spanish Rosados and reduce the stick count by a wee bit.

We won't be buying any more ceegars for a while.

  3. Heh on the "other bennies," Deb. And necessity is the Mom of invention, no?

  4. Sounds like you just need to smoke a little more often.

    I like the box those Acid ceegars come in. Although I picture it filled with ammunition or other such paraphernalia.

  5. Today was a two-cigar day, BR. Sometimes that happens, especially after I receive a new shipment.

    Drew Estate (the maker of Acids) does a bang-up job of packaging, with great wooden boxes.

  6. The box that the Acid Ceegars come in is cool - I know. Someone should get a Nobel Peace prize for inventing the plastic baggie or maybe the plastic throw-away container. No longer do we have to save our butter, yogurt, cottage cheese containers.

  7. A man does what needs to be done. That's what they say anyway.

    Nice to see it in action Buck!

    I couldn't agree MORE, Lou. And they keep getting better and better, too. It wasn't so long ago that baggies weren't air-tight, but they are now. Ain't technology and progress a beautiful thang?

    Kris: "They" say a lot o' things, LOL! And sometimes they're right!

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
