A friend of mine is a cigar connoisseur. I go over every now and then to sample some and enjoy it, but it's just one more thing that I don't have the time or money to get into for myself. Though I should probably get a small humidor and a lighter just for whenever.

I've even held off on doing any more mods to the Z until the house is paid and I do a new roof, then payoff the Z. So that's a year from now on the house, 6 months after that for the roof, then another 6 for the Z ............... then I am debt free and the rest of the mods begin. New exhaust, tires, and an expensive audio upgrade including a stealth sub in the spare, high end head unit and amps and speakers............ a real SQ system like I used to do 20 years ago

You have to light a cigar with a wooden match. Well, you don't have to, but if you're going to get a small humidor, you may as well get the matches and do it right


Here is the humidor I have, $35 and it comes with an inscription

I have a weird feeling that within the next two years, my tv, water heater, and AC will die. So I'm trying to build a little nest egg.

That's pretty nice. Thanks for the link.

And matches, eh? Why's that?

I replaced the kitchen appliances a year and a half ago, had the original ones from 1996 when I built the house......... all new stainless models. Hot water heater is good, AC/heat pump is original, and the guy that replaced a part on it said they could just keep replacing parts if I wanted to, as they break, lol. I am not into replacing that thing right now. Roof is limping along, needs replacing soon. I am going with a metal roof so I get a lifetime roof (or the rest of my life at least), versus architectural shingles again. Goal is that when I retire, nothing needs to be replaced or done. Washer and dryer are 16 years old as well................ I hope they last a few more

Just one of those cigar-etiquette things. The fuel in lighters (with the exception of butane) supposedly fuck up the taste.

They make long cedar matches just for this purpose. You're supposed to wait until the flame gets beyond the tip, so that you're only lighting with the flame on the wood portion. You also never put a cigar out, you let it extinguish itself.

Did yours come with the engraved plate as well? I can't see from that angle.

I know the last part. I have never used a cedar match to light one, though. Always just a butane Zippo.

Cedar Humidor From RedEnvelope.com




The ritual of lighting a cigar involves two very important principals. The first involves the instruments used to light the cigar and the second the enjoyment of your Habano. To begin with always use a butane lighter or a cedar or wooden match-stick. Try to never use a petrol lighter, a candle or a wax match as all of these impart odours that the cigar is quick to absorb. The second principle to remember is that a cigar must be lit with the utmost patience and tranquillity. Nothing spoils the enjoyment of a Habano faster than a badly lit cigar.

At a 90 degree angle hold your cigar above the flame of your lighter. Burning directly in the flame makes it too hot. Patiently twist or rotate the cigar until all parts of the foot are evenly charred.

Place the cigar to your lips and with the flame still under the foot puff gently onto the cigar until the flames jump up. Continue to slowly rotate the cigar while occasionally blowing on the foot to ensure an even burn.
