Hi Everyone, I finally got around to trying some smokes that I got during one of the noob trades. I really liked the Ambros Mundos and want to get more. However, I'm a bit confused looking on-line -- it seems that the band has changed? Is this true? I can't seem the find the plain old band...

What size is it?

Well, close - I have a 58 reissue. The pic is a real '59. Only a slight difference :). *cough*. The top is almost identical though!

OK guys - thanks for the advice. Looks like I'll be going with the lock container! Do you use cedar trays or separators to better organize things?

Ah - maybe a bad assumption... I thought the humidor - specifically the cedar - contributed to the aging process (in addition to stablizing humidity).

I spent some time and looked at the travel options. Definetly the right size, but i dont think the sticks will age that much given the environment (yes, I want it all :) ). 100ct is way too much. Id have to fill it all the way up, then I'd have to smoke them.... Hmm... There are certainly...

Hi Everyone, I'm torn between a tupperdor and a nice small humidor. About 4 yrs ago I went the humidor route from cheaphumorous.com and had a heck of a time keeping rel. humidity up. It was a constant battle. (used beads, digital calibrated hygdrometer). Fast forward a few years and I'm...

How much? I can't seem to find any prices on these. BTW, what cooler do you guys use for your coolerdor? m

My first humi was from thompson. After having many problems with humidity, I finally tested it and found that it didn't seal properly. Ok, no prob, I pitched the cheap cigars and bought another from cheaphumidors.com. This one works well (it's a 100ct 3/4 full), but I had a ton of problems...

Can someone comment on the "new blend" of jerico? I bought some last year and it's become my goto stick. I'm wondering at what point they were bought, and at what point was the blend changed?

So you leased an older car? You can do this? I thought leases were reserved for newer cars only? You're point on certified pre-owned is taken. That's what I thought for a long time.

Believe me, I'd love to have that choice. But alas, I cannot (see post above). However, you did mention some of things i'm interested in: 1. 4WD/AWD (a must) 2. Manual Transmission (sort of a must... but maybe not unless CUV) 3. Storage space -- bike rack I'm leaning toward a wagon - Volvo...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I can definetly see the benefits of each, but my gut feeling is to go used. BTW, I'm under some 'restrictions' ... yeah, you might call them that. Volvo, mazda, land rover, jaguar.. etc. etc... My requirements for a vehicle are really for kid haulin'...

Ok, so here's my situation... I have a family friend in the car business and I've been able to get great lease deals over the past several years. This will end soon, and I'll reaturn to paying 'normal' prices so I'm investigating options. Here's my situation. I live ~5 miles to/from work...

I thought temperature played only a small role in RH? It's around 66deg right now, but can get as low as 62 (but as high as 70). I (finally) found a spot in the room that maintains a decent temprature range. So what is the optimum temperature? 70deg? That probably won't happen here in the...
