Have you tried the Fuente Hemingway Series? They will be a bit smoother than the Ghurka (which is a rockin' smoke) and are quite enjoyable. The Short Story is the smallest one but they just go up in size from there. They also come in Maduro if you want the fuller flavor.My Friday afternoon treat today:
-Gurkha Legend Connecticut with my CRKT Cruiser
6"x60. Not my first double perfecto but I have not had many. So far it's been quite pleasant. Not as meaty and full bodied as my preference but I got a couple of them free and decided to try it out.

There are thousands of humidors out there. They range from cheap to pricey. Humidors are a commitment. You will be checking and maintaining it weekly. When maintained properly, they do a wonderful job of keeping your cigars ready to smoke. Cheap humidors are generally cheap for a reason. Often the lids don't seal or will warp and then fail to seal and you will lose all of your humidity. More expensive humidors tend to give you a better seal. If you are looking at them in person, close the lid and listen if the lid kind of puffs out the air as it closes rather than "clacks" shut. Usually there are no gaskets on humidor lids but the seal comes from perfectly mated surfaces between the lid and box. Also look for Spanish cedar inserts lining the humidor. One other option is the Tupper-dore. They're cheap and they work. Just make sure you open it at least every couple of weeks to circulate the air. Throwing some Spanish cedar from cigar boxes in there helps keep things aromatic. You can usually get that from local cigar shops. If you buy a used humidor, the most important thing is that the lid seals and that it smells like cigars. If it hasn't neen used in a while, that's alright. They can easily be conditioned. Also look for warping and inside where the glued corners are coming apart.Ive recently got into cigars.... problem is now I need a humidor... Im lost in the woods here.
What are some good brands/styles/etc to look for?
What is a good cigars shelf life?

What he said.Good Luck, there are so many ways to skin a cat - it seems it's mostly personal preference
Not a Cigar smoker, but I use Glass Jars with humidifier inserts to keep my Pipe Tobacco fresh and at the right moisture level!
If you get the taller ones, you could store your rolled's the same way!
Got a new blend today, So Smooth and flavorful, and the aroma is very nice, wife really likes it too!
