Is anyone still making shelves for wine fridges? I've emailed a couple of people within the last year or so and did not receive a response. It's for a small, 8-12 bottle wine fridge I'd like to turn into a humidor. Thanks in advance.

Curious to know the story behind how you become friends with some other members of the forum? I know that herfs, meetups, etc. are a great way to get to know fellow brothers and sisters but for some of you who live on opposite ends of the land, what is credited to the strengthening of your...

I recently began seasoning a humidor. In the past, I would gently wipe down the inside with a slightly moist, new sponge with distilled water. I would then place a shot glass with distilled water in the bottom. I would check it every 5 days (i used to check it every 5 hours with my first...

I've been using a Rockwell 3-Cigar case to travel back and forth to work with. I like the fact that it protects the cigars when being banged around. It is lined with cedar and I'm curious if this is hurting my cigars.   I recently noticed, when I put the case back in my Lock and Lock after being...

I've been following the Today's Smoke thread and some other review threads and noticed some people have such a wide variety of cigars. I'm just curious how you gain such a variety of cigars? Trades? Samplers? It seems like some people have more than one of the same cigar. Do you guys just have...

I recently experience a power outage which defaulted the wineador temp to 50 instead of 66 where I"ve been keeping it successfully. I unplugged the unit and opened the door for about an hour and the temperature went back up to 66. Plugged it back in and reset the thermostat to 66 and the temp...

Last year, I received my first Xikar lighter as a gift. It takes at least 3-4 tries before I get a flame. Im not sure if this is normal but I have other lighters that light on my first attempt. I happen to love the sturdiness and feel of this lighter. I more recently learned that they have an...

I have been paying closer attention to my RH in my tupperdor being as though I picked up a wine fridge (AW281 E) recently. I originally thought that 70% was where I wanted to store my cigars. After observing for quite some time, it seems i sit more closely to 65% or in the 66%-68% range. I know...

I always enjoy discussions about the types of cutters others like to use as well as lighter choices. I'm also always looking for ideas and ways to keep up with my cigar game. I have a long way to go.    I'm sure this isn't original but what do you have in your arsenal of accessories? Take a...

I have been scouring many websites in search of educating myself more about wineadors. I've come across a few things that I am still unsure of and want to make sure I understand before I dive in. I did not expect to come to the point where I would even have to consider a wineador but it seems...

Last week, I had not finished the cigar I was smoking. My wife as charming as she is, decided that where I left it was not a good spot and with good intent, placed it back into my humidor. It was in there for less than a day and my humidor still smells of this cigar. It was not flavored, just a...

Just curious to know if any seasoning is required for this 3 finger cigar holder being that it has cedar on the inside? If yes, how would you season it being its such a small area?

I've been more of a lurker lately then a poster trying to learn more about cigars, storage and everything related. I'm still quite wet behind the ears but enjoy becoming more educated about cigars. I've learned it's quite a conversational piece.   What is your routine when you receive a new box...

Taking the family on a trip to the Outer Banks, North Carolina this weekend and it looks like I will not have time to stop at the local B&M before I head out. We are likely staying somewhere near Chesepeake so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction as to where I can find a...

So the softer side of me has come out and I would normally not share news in a community as I'm sure many of you have your own lives going on and things to be concerned with. In fact, this is not a concern in the least but a chipper post. Plus, I'm not the public feelings spewer type that you...

I've been at this for a number of months now and I am happy to report that I have finally sustained my RH where I would like it to be. I am currently using a 38-cup Lock & Lock box and have 70% beads inside. There are about 40-50 cigars in there, most in the cello and some out of the wrapper. I...

I've decided to throw in the towel. It's time for a new desktop humidor. I tried the advice that was provided in a previous thread and my problem has not gotten any better. I have two concerns at this point... If I could score one under $100 I would be happy. If I have to spend a few bucks over...

I finally got around to replacing my gel humidification with 70% RH beads. I put 1/2 of my 1/2 pound bag of beads into the humidor early this morning in a mesh bag. I opted to use a spray bottle with distilled water and only wet approximately 80% of the beads as the website mentions. I let it...

Forgive me for my ignorance but I'm guessing it's tar but not sure. I just smoked a cigar and where I had punched it, a brown liquid was present at the tip. It was brown and I noticed it about 1/4 of the way through the cigar. I was smoking a Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real. 1) Am I using the...

About 6 months ago, my wife purchased a desktop humidor for me. I don't think it was anything fancy but it does have a window on top. I have been unable to locate a manufacturer name on it. (I did try to add a picture of it as my avatar but I was unable to load it. Not sure if there is a...
