They must have got pretty dry because the hygrometer was not showing a humidity level. I am going to take them all out and season the humidor tonight, then try and get them back into a smokeable cigar. They may not be great but we will see how they turn out.

I have given up on cigars for the past 6 months and the cigars that I have are in my humidor with no humidity. I opened one up and was going to have a smoke then I remembered cigars need humididity if you have them in a humidor. :( My question. are these smokes complete garbage or is...

I just bought a rolling machine kit to roll my own cigarettes. Anyone out there know of any good tobacco to try? I am using the stuff that came with the kit, it is pretty cheap and I know there are lots of other options. My ideas so far, Bali shag or Mclintock. Any ideas?

I have a bunch of cigars in my humidor that were gifts that I am trying to identify. Aside from the label I don't know exactly what cigar it is and how much it is worth. There are a handful of ISOM's that I am not sure of either . The only method that I have tried is snapping a picture of the...

My cigars have been sitting unattended in 55% humidiy for almost one week. Will that damage the cigars? I am going to go get some water for them tomorow, I had forgotten about them dealing with other things

Is it necessary to add cedar to a coolidor? What would be the best way??

What is anybod's opinion on this stuff. First scotch purchase and I have heard good things about it. not to strong tasting for its 101 proof strength, so I am told. good with a smoke?
