When I was trying to get my 50 count to hold the right amount of humidity, I looked at all kinds of humidification options. I saw things like the Cigar Oasis but really didn't wanna spend the $80 for it. Everything is fine and settled now, but I had a thought while I was looking at this stuff. If you have a humidor with a…
A buddy of mine sent me some cigars a while back and I've been meaning to post about this since I got them. One of them is a box-pressed thing. I usually use a punch cutter on that but...I can't on this one because it is flat. It's about as wide across as a 50 rg, but is flat like a wafer. It stands in the humi about half…
What is the lowest humidity level you would store cigars at. I like mine in the mid-to-upper 60's but was wondering how it would affect them if you went down to 60 or even 55? Guessing that would dry them out? What then is the recommended cut-off point for the lowest humidity for storing cigars?
I saw a thread in the Trades Passes Bombs section requesting a couple Opus X sticks. I didn't want to hijack the thread, so I'm starting my own. Being new to the leaf I have yet to smoke anything priced higher than about $11. It was an Ashton VSG and it was wonderful. Other than that, I haven't really had a super premium.…
So the other night, I set my soggy bottom on the work bench to dry out. Tonight, I lit it up. Oh my God. DON'T DO THAT! That is el gacko di gacki tuti.
Before you say search it, I did. Nothing comes up for my boat so chill. Anyway.. I had a bowl of water in my cabinet for 2 weeks (was outta town) and my active humidifer finally came today and I installed it and got it running. So I have a few questions.. Should I get beads to go in here aswell? Note: This is a a small…
So I'm having this cigar and at various points, it pops and crackles... I checked it prelight and no signs of beetles or anything. I mean, the foot of the cigar didn't have that nice accordian fold (it was a bit jumbled...). I did notice a lump right beneath the triple cap. Any feedback? Doesn't alter the taste though…
I couldn't find an answer to this so here goes. If I order Cigars and on the off chance the place I order them from decided to send them thru USPS instead of UPS and they end up in the mailbox....is this bad for them to sit in there for awhile?Now, lets just say they are in the mailbox, but I'm away for days at a time and…
Morning brothers and sisters! Ok so a little backstory before we just jump right in. For a couple of months now I've had several people seriously encourage me to actually start teaching my own classes about cigars, the cigar making process, and info on the industry in general. For a while I pushed back and just said I'm…
I've noticed this with a lot of cigars, but it seems like lighter colored cigars are more firm than darker ones. I thought it was a size thing at first. Coronas being smaller just are not as full as robustos cuz there is less tobacco and so they are just softer for that reason. But I got a Man o War sampler that had 4…
