So i have been on this forum for a bit now and, starting to notice some lingo being used and thought maybe we needed a thread for noobies like myself to pick up on the local vocab?
I know, long title, but this has been bugging me... I smoked a Gurkha Warlord tonight; a stick described as "full flavored" and one which I was warned was not for new cigar smokers like myself (I've only been smoking them for about 2 months) because it could be so overwhelming for the palate. Anyway, I really liked the…
Ok here is a question I cannot seem to find the answer to. Some humidors have the lip on the lid and some have the lip on the body. I am thinking ones with lip on the body MAY have a better seal (in theory). Does it really matter were the lip is?.. Also is "Sure seal technology" just a marketing ploy or is there actually a…
So anyone have tips to smoking in the winter. Talking like 35 degrees and lower stuff. Is there a difference in how fast you should smoke or change in the RH? Any tips you pros have?

I will be traveling with my sticks and wanted to find out what the cold will do to them if I put them in the back of my pickup with topper on it. Yeah it will be basically the same temp as outside and might get to below…
So, my humi is all settled and stuff. But it settled lower than I had expected. Not a problem at all as it is 65% rh exactly. I'm happy with that. It surprises me, though, because I have the 75% boveda packs in there (they are all I had on hand at the time and I've not had the chance to get some lower ones yet). My…
You know how Boveda packs are in those sealed plastic pouches when you get them and they stay fresh that way until you're ready to use them? Once you open that (let's say you stick one in a bag and send it with some cigars or get one yourself with some sticks), can you stick it in a ziploc bag and store it or, once open,…
