Gawith, Hoggarth Kendal Kentucky - if you want straight up and fairly potent burley. Also Solani Silver Flake is another good one.

morning drive to work was a 1" x 1 1/2" bowl of Pipeworks & Wilke #194 (snap!) and this afternoon a nice long bowl of Esoterica Stonehaven (doublesnap!!)

I also use a 3-stage storage process. Sterilite-dor sitting at 70% for unopened boxes and long storage/aging. Montegue cabinet humidor with 65% beads all around the bottom. This keeps the main cabinet at 65% and the drawer (which holds all my "staged" smokes at 60%. Moisture induced burn issues...

I looked at that one too Rob, but i cheaped-out. Got the $19.00 Vector for $12.00 on sale at a local B&M. Couldn't be happier. But we'll see how it lasts. Vector Maximus Burlwood Pipe Lighter good god the flame adjusts from "barely-a-dribble" to nearly 8 inches :thumbs:

well it's doing great - haven't got those pics yet though :sign: Holds humidity like a champ. here is SoCal we've been having some wild humidity fluctuations...anywhere from 15%-25% for a week or so to 60%-80% for a week or more. I filled it with a pound of 65% beads and it's pretty much...

I have no doubt Vol - seems even the Red, Blue and White have been going for more than I am used to lately

I like Pepin too and am very interested. But I think I'll have to let the feeding frenzy die down a bit first.

thanks all - i appreciate the feedback. I DID think of usig ribbon to tie bundles but I think that would leave them too susceptible to damage....rooting around and all. Since it sounds like non of my orignal options are BAD then i will probably just go with what works and not worry about it...

Hey all - I have a new Montegue end table humidor. Claimed to hold 1500 sticks, but hey, whatever. This thing is great and hold it's envirenment VERY well. It has an upper drawer, which I use for daily and sampling. But underneath are 3 shelves for boxes. Problem is, and this is the one thing...

As I scroll thru this thread I notice that one of my favorite little sticks is not metioned. I'm NOT gonna try to tell anyone that these are the best, not by a long shot, but for 50 to 60 cents/stick I love them for an anytime/anywhere sorta-quick smoke. And truth is that for their 4 x 40 size...

although I like the Extra Fuerte just fine (even though it is totally different from the DM) I didn't really get much EXTRA nor much FUERTE with mine.

Mine is SOO original....it' my old Motorola employee ID. L = stands for L (lol) E = first initial S = last initial 017 = I was the 17th person hired at Motorola that had the initials "ES" the bummer is that everyone on boards thinks my name is Les. C'mon, everyone knows E = Evan

I agree - good operation. And now that they have throw Cigar Monster into the mix......

atuck - this is all just simply BEAUTIFUL!!! I hope you enjoy it as much as it LOOKS like you should. You are setup in a way that I never really even thought about. Just wonderful. Now quit answering all of us drooling slobs and go sit in that chair and relax. Light one up for...

thanks Mark, she IS a good one. And I am also gonna make her day by telling her YOU said so!! :laugh: Blackcloud - thanks man, looking forward to it. Hey, saying you are from LA only narrows it down to about 7000 square mile area. Where you is?
