Thanks, Bruce. I'll contact Cigarmony and Heartfelt to check them out. One question though. Do you put the beads in some kind of sack and you just place them on top of the cigars? If this is the case, won't the cigars you place the beads on top of receive more humidity? Sorry if this is a stupid...

I'm having a hard time maintaining a constant humidity of 65% in my 70 count humidor using the humidifier that came with it. I'm new at this, so any advice will be appreciated. Is there a product out there that will do this for me no matter how many cigars are in the humidor and no matter what...

Based on some of your recommendations, I would like to try a 5 pack of the Torano Signatures in that they are similar to the CAO Brazilia's, but cheaper. The only concern I have is that I have tried the Torano Exodus 1959"s and found the draw to be too tight for me. Is the draw on Torano's in...

Following some of your recommendations, I bought a HygroSet Hygrometer along with a Boveda 75% Calibration Kit. Received it on Wednesday and put it in the Boveda bag and sealed it tight late Wednesday afternoon. The Boveda instructions say to leave it in there 24 to 36 hours. Well, it's now been...

I recently bought a 5 pack of Brazilia Impanema's (7x50) and really liked them. As I'm getting more experienced, my tastes are changing to fuller bodied and spicier cigars. I wold like to buy a box of 20, but the lowest price I can find on the net is about $95 which is at $5.00 or so per stick...

In the past month and a half since I've been smoking cigars, I've noticed that the Maduros in the same cigar seem to have a tighter draw than the Naturals. Is this generally true, or am I imagining things?

I am looking for the most accurate digital hygrometer in the market. Should be magnetized. Any recommendations? Thanks.

I happened on this site yesterday and found it kinda interesting. Apparently they offer several brands all made by a Don Kiki in Esteli, Nicaragua. Has anyone tried any of their cigars?

I am a fan of the Sancho Panza Double Maduro, but I now like a more full bodied cigar. I'm thinking of ordering a box of the Xtra Fuerte's, but have a question. Is this cigar as smooth as the Dbl. Maduro and with the same basic flavor, only fuller bodied?

As a newbie, I've been trying several different cigars trying to figure out what I like and don't like...mostly cheap ones that I can smoke on an everyday basis. My neice gave me a box of regular Punch After Dinner Maduros for Christmas. I've had 2 so far and really like them. To me they are...

I'm a new member here and a new cigar smoker...about a month only. I just introduced myself in the new member forum. I bought a 70 count Diamond Crown humidor, a Diamond Crown humidifier rated at 100 cigar count and a Diamond Crown digital hygrometer. After following the directions on...
