I am a new cigar smoker and am looking at this humidor http://www.famous-smoke.com/cigars/search/humstats.cfm/inum/16083 and i notice that it does not come with a hygrometer. does it really need it? and also how long will my cigars last in this box? and also is this a good one for the price? please help me if you can.

So I got a bunch of cigars for my birthday about 4 weeks ago, and I didn’t have a humidor or the little humidor packs, so I just had them in their little zipped up bags in a sock drawer. But I just got a humidor and put my cigars in there last night, and I was wondering how long they would need to sit in there before they were re-hydrated and good to smoke.

Help?

I’m planning on getting my finace’ a humidor for a wedding gift. Along with cigars, of course. I want to get a quality humidor that will last a long time. Unfortuantely, I have no clue what to look for in a humidor. What should I make sure it includes? What things are a no-no? CAn anyone help me out with this?

And also, the cigars. What brands/flavors/etc. are good and bad? What are your favorite cigars? And if you purchase online or in or around CT, where’s a good place to buy from?
Thanks!
