I can't tell you how many times I've had an amazing cigar, bought a mazo and was completely disappointed because of poor draw. To me, it's all about the draw - I simply cannot enjoy a cigar that I have to work too hard on, no matter how good it tastes. On the other hand, if a cigar draws well, I can usually enjoy it no…
I really like the Boveda system. It works great. For my new humi, I purchased the 2 packet holder that mounts to the lid of the box. It's a 50 count, so the holder covers the entirety of the upper lid leaving me nowhere to mount the hygrometer. Can I just set the hygrometer in a corner of the box when it is filled with…
You can print, email the notes you take, or just print out a bunch and write em in. Just hope I never smoke a cigar that has "manuer" I wonder why cigars have some of these flavor characteristics!!?? Reading a few is making me not want to smoke or experience those flavors!!…
I am just finishing my coolidor and I need suggestions on a few good cigars to age. It's a 60 qt cooler and I'm using beads to keep it humidified. I will keep them in smaller wooden cigar boxes. I want to try to keep it under $5 a stick. I'm looking for something medium to strong. I love the maduro wrapper, but i hear that…
I made an impulse buy of a humidor at my local smoke shop. I do not think it is the best construction of a humidor. Bought it before I started reading all the great info on this forum. I have been reading on other threads about the dollar bill test. Can someone explain to me how to perform this test? I definitely do not…
So I have a digital hygro that I believe is properly calibrated, I used the 75% boveda calibration kit and got it to stick at 75 for a while, I also have a cigar jar with one 72% pack in it and the hygro consistently reads 70%(I've heard they run 2% below the boveda #).. Anyways, I recently got the 50ct white tail glass…
my birthday is coming up(may10) and i need sugestions on a good b-day cigar.
Having been on this forum for the last few days, I had a thought hit me. And I apologize in advance if it has been done before, I just hadn't seen it. We should have a suggestion list started for people new to the cigar world that would allow them to find their likes and dislikes easier. I have already learned a ton just…
I've been using a cheap stainless steel double guillotine cutter since I picked up the hobby (about 3 yrs ago), but it is starting to get dull. I found a heck of a deal on a Xikar xi2 and pulled the trigger on it. I could have gotten a cutter like i had for around $6. Was the extra expense wasted or a wise investment?
I am gathering a rather large bomb for the troops, thanks to the BORK's around here, and am curious what you guys think the best method to ship would be. I was thinking tupperware with cedar planks seasoned for a couple days would be ideal, with pillows, gel jars, drymistat tubes inside. Also, the guys have a pelican case…
