I lock mine always. I trust my roommate. I just don't trust the other random people that are sometimes in my room.

I plan to smoke all of my cigars eventually or to give some away. I also like to get some rarer cigars to share with my friends. That's always enjoyable. :)

Also, consider that if you really want to store your cigars right and well, then you're going to also need to spend money on a adjustable digital hygrometer and some type of good humidification, both of which will add up to more than how much that humidor costs. If you're going to just store...

I tried Hookah once, but found out I didn't really like it at all. It really is like smoking a bunch of candy.

Even with a Zippo, you can get that new low-flavor fluid or whatever. I've got a Xikar Eris that's got a punch built in. I like it just fine, works well.

When you can, try out to Newbie Sampler Trade thing in the B/S/T forum. The FOG that gets paired up with you will ask you for a list just like the one you posted and will send you a variety of smokes along those lines to get you started. It's a great way to try out new cigars that should be...

Kind of a spin-off question/point... I just calibrate my hygrometers when I buy new Boveda packs. I just got a 65% one yesterday that I put in a ziploc bag with my hygrometers to calibrate. I don't think you need to calibrate it at 75%.

I think the point's been made here quite clearly. Maybe it's time to close this thread?

So... I just got back from a local B&M. Went to buy a VSG Illusion for this weekend because of you guys. :p

As everyone said before, give it time. I have two humidors, and I didn't wipe either of them down. You just need to let it sit for a week without touching it. Each time you open it, you're letting out humidity. So just forget it for a week and then come back and check out it. I know it's...

Oh man, I'm drooling at the thought of that cigar. :)

I went on the hunt for Opus' once, not expecting to find anything, but low-and-behold a brand new B&M about three-minutes' drive from my house had them in stock just barely over MSRP. They have them in stock during all of the big cigar seasons (father's day, etc.) with a limit of 4 per...

Since we're on the topic of NC Montecristo's... my friends rather like the Montecristo Serie C. I have a neutral opinion about them, though. I usually smoke a Hemingway while they smoke their Serie C's. :)

Wowzers, now that's a nice one. :)

Oh, wow, again.
