It would be handy to always have a handful of cigars in my vehicle but not something that needs alot of attention (with regards to monitering humidity). Would an otterbox be the best solution? How do they hold humidity if you only check it every few weeks? Thanks.

Hey guys, can you fit 3 average sized hygrometers in a Boveda calibration pack and will it still be accurate if you put that many in the pack? TIA.

Seems every winter my borther's and my humidors go down a bit in RH and the never come back up in the spring. I know for sure one of my bro's humidors you could feel the seal to be gone and could thus tell the wood has shrunk. I have a pretty nice Daniel Marshall humi and can't get it over...

Since I'm kinda set for lighters I haven't paid any attention to whats out there these days...I have a Porsche lighter which is great but only holds enough fuel to light a handful of cigars, simply impractical...then I have 3 Colibri's 1 of which is great, 1 is ok and the other is just plain...

Just pitched my last Mag 46 from a box date code May 05. These cigars had serious burn issues. I'd say atleast 2/3rds of the box the cigars would not stay lit. There was not a draw problem with any of them, they just wouldn't stay lit. You'd suck hard on them to keep them lit but that would...

I read that Cohiba & Trinidad used triple fermented tabacco while most use double fermented. What does that mean exactly? thanks.

Gonna celebrate an occasion with a friend next week, Opus X ready to go just wondering which scotch would stand up next to it? Highland Park 12? thanks.

Currently, I'm smokin a Nov 05 Hoyo epi 2 and it is great thus far (2" left). I have to put this out there with all the very discouraging talk of aging fat cubans for 5 yrs +. I pulled this out of the humi with low expectations...it has been nearly as good as epi 2's with several yrs on them...

I just got a box of Bolicar PC date code POS ENE06...is this January 06? Any thoughts when they are ready to smoke? I was gonna give em 2 yrs before cutting the ribbon.

Hey guys sorry I don't want to go through that whole Bill Clinton thread but I've been taking care of my brother's humidor while he's away and the seal on it is shit. The humidity drops to from 65 down to 56-57 within days of adding 3 mils distilled water. I'd like some recommendations on how to...

Hey Folks...my bro is going to Bev Hills and Hollywood this afternoon and asked for some recommended shops or lounges..in particular he's seeking Padron and Fuente products..thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to scotch but quickly becoming addicted...I'm about to spark up one of my fave sticks, but don't know which scotch will best compliment it..I just picked up a few bottles today, here is what I have on hand: Lagavulin 16 Talisker 18 Macallan 15 Caol cask thanks in advance.

Is it ok to age cigars in those cardboard 3-packs or should they be removed and aged in a humidor/cedar evnviroment?

My bro just arrived in Chinatown (and will be staying awhile), with no wheels. Any good cigar shops you could recommend that are within walking or cab-ride distance? He'd be looking for Fuentes and Padrons..thanks, JP.

I have a bunch of young CoRo's and am getting anxious to smoke em. Had a couple a few months back and definately weren't ready. I've had some siglo vi that were only a year old and were excellent, so I'm hoping these are ready for May 06. Anyone know when these come out of their sick period?

I'm just getting into scotch, understand that cask strength has not been cut. Say I'm choosing between two bottles from the same brand...one is cask but the other is older, but the're similar in price..any advantage to cask? Also, I do add ice to my scotch.

I really love the taste of cuban cigars..but the other day, I smoked 4 cigars from reputable cigar shops and 2 where bad (ie tight draw, little flavour, physically hard sticks) the day before I smoked 2, one of which the wrapper completely split and unravelled as I smoked. Right now I'm smoking...

I see lots of talk here re cutters, and I see that Colibri lighters aren't well liked much (I have 2, one good one bad), but other than that not much is said about other lighters. I'm liking the looks and feel of a certain porsche design lighter, but am wondering how these perform over the long...

I have a 150 count DM desktop..I've got about 2.5 boxes in the bottom for long term and on the top tray it's pretty full too. Since the tray on top is quite full, the vent slots are completely covered and am wondering if the sticks underneath get enough humidity down there..if not I can just add...

I have enough room in my humi for a box of 4.5" smokes, this works out well since I really need something that can be smoked quickly here and there. I was thinking Partagas shorts but apparently that one is a headspinner, I need something mild enoough to smoke on an empty stomach..TIA.
