When I first got into cigars, 8-5-8’s were my go to. I once paid $27 a box on sale in the early 90’s.

The good old days when a cigar that cost 25 American cents to produce was sold at a reasonable price.

I got my box of the Rosados just a couple years ago, so $105 for what used to be unicorn farts was a killer deal.

Thanks for the tip! Seemed like too good of a deal to pass up. I haven't smoked many cigars since the 90s, so I wasn't sure where to start with the stock they have left. How did I do?

And ended up picking up this small humidor for storage.

If you find you have trouble maintaining moisture in the box after seasoning it and waiting a few months, consider using food-grade silicone to seal the seam betwixt wood and glass/plexiglass. Humidors with see-through windows are notorious for having bad seals where one material meets another.

I'll do that, thanks for the tip!
