Humidor Cigars On A Couch

Enjoying a cigar fresh from the humidor on a comfortable couch in my den is one of my favorite ways to wind down after a long day of work or play. Whether I've been at the office all day or out duck hunting there's no better way to relax at the end of a long day than by popping out a favorite cigar from a near by humidor and enjoying from the comfort and solitude of a man's own home.

I know that I'm not just speaking for myself in describing how pleasurable this experience is for my as numerous friends have relayed enjoying the same relaxing habit. Of course it's nice to chew on a stogie on the golf course or to enjoy one while cherishing a breathtaking view but for my money nothing beats the comfort of home and the peace I feel as the king of my own castle while enjoying a favorite cigar.

Some folks enjoy watching Sportscenter while chilling on the couch and others would rather put on the some music and some people like myself enjoy a moment of complete silence and self reflection as the hassles of the day just melt away.

Although my personal furniture piece of choice is a mahogany colored sofa that my wife and I picked up years ago personal preference in everything both in terms of cigar taste (no pun intended) and how a man decides to decorate his home.

When living in a secluded area of Idaho during ski seasons I came across a number of folks whose idea of the perfect place to put their feet up after a long day was on a Boise State University (BSU) couch where they could peacefully light up their regional cigars and reflect on the years they've spent in the area dating all the way back to their time at their alma mater, the Boise State Broncos.

While my preferences might change from season to season ultimately there's nothing better than relaxing on a fine couch comfortably indoors on a snowy Idaho day next to a crackling fireplace fire during a sunny day as snowflakes gently drift to earth.

Best Cigar Humidors

The best cigar humidors are the ones that are most appropriate for your current situation. While some people will go as far as to build their own homemade cigar humidor to find their special unique (read "best") humidor the majority of us will just shop around and after a few minutes of scanning the internet (specifically our search engine results) will just decide that all humidors are basically the same and we'll try to get the most value for our dollar.

The basic decisions making process for something like this goes as follows: (1) decide how much you want to spend, (2) quickly search for humidors and find out how much they cost, (3) decide what's the best bang for your buck in terms of size or ornate look. Most of us want to spend as little as possible and feel like we're getting the most value for our dollar in terms of getting a humidor (could be any product) that seems like a good deal.

It's especially difficult to be a truly informed consumer when you're doing all of your shopping online. It might be worthwhile to simply Google "Humidors for sale" with your city or zip code and physically go to a store and talk to someone about the products. In all actuality once it's all said and done and you account for shipping costs you might not even be saving much money when compared to the online alternatives. If you're someone that really doesn't know much about humidors you probably really are best off to go in and talk to someone at a store about what you need and what is really best for you.

It's pretty common for people buying humidors to be buying them as a gift. If the person you're buying for is just a novice cigar smoker with a tiny collection and no humidor currently to their name you really can't go wrong with a very basic clear glass top humidor about the size of a shoe box. Interestingly many people over analyze this decision when in actuality the the purchaser of the gift really doesn't know a whole lot less than one receiving the gift. By the time all the research is done the gift giver probably has a much better idea of what the best cigar humidor is than the guys she is giving the gift to.
