A new Meer just arrived. Very happy with it!

After a pretty crummy bidding experience with one vendor on eBay I picked up a Rusticated Bulldog from another vendor. It arrives tomorrow!

It’s been about 3 months and the unit has kept the humidity right where I want it. I have a sensor hooked to an app and today I noticed that it had jumped two degrees which was odd. When I checked it I found that the foam was full of mold. I only filled it twice since December and each time I...

It's been a really fun journey so far. The custom blends from my local shop have been great and the Stokkebye 52 Proper is growing on me. My packs still need work. I'm getting 20-30 minutes with one or two relights, but I still feel like they are too loose. I guess I just have to keep...

Thank you all. Greatly appreciate the sentiment. Apologies for the late response, but we’ve been dealing with family health issues. Peace my friends.

So I got through six of the 10 pipes yesterday. The stems were pretty filthy, but they were in perfect condition. No teeth marks, very little oxidation. Not a lot of cake buildup in the bowls either. I do need to pick up some of the plastic threaded inserts as a few were broken. There was one...

I recently helped a good friend recondition his Dad's old desktop humidor and while we were sitting around I mentioned that I wanted to try smoking a pipe. He said that he inherited his Dad's collection of Meerschaum pipes and took a couple of pictures when he got home. Not sure of brands or...

I received my replacement lighter over the weekend. This one is a brand new Quad 4 and not my old lighter that was repaired. It took about 30 days to get it from the time they received my return.

Lots of good stuff in there! I bought a box of those Mule Kicks. Can’t wait to try them!

Just did a box split on Padron 2000.

Was it here that I recently found out about Cigar Dagger? Too late for Christmas presents, but I'm going to ask the Warden for one for my birthday in February.

Yeah, when I attempted to register my V-cutter online a few months ago I found that you don't have to register products any more. If you had an old account with Xikar, it's gone, along with the previous registration system that Xikar had. I had the confirmation email from four years ago, but I...

Xikar still stands by their warranty. My four year-old Xikar Quad Flame didn't hold fuel when I refilled it the other night. I filled out the simple claim form on their website and was immediately sent an RMA. I do have to ship it back on my own dime which will most likely be more expensive...

Very nice. Happy Birthday!

Maybe it’s just sensitive. My go-to hygrometer connects to my Ambient Weather outdoor weather station. I salt tested it a few years ago when I got it, and again last week and it was spot-on both times. In my experience, the salt test doesn’t guarantee accuracy either. I had another hygrometer...

The unit arrived Monday and I loaded it up with water and saw the readout reading in the high 30s. I had salt tested my hygrometers over the weekend and when I got the fan to shut off when the hygrometer read 68% the digital readout on the Humi-Care read 58%. I adjusted the readout knob as high...

Based on the Boveda calculator for a humidor of my dimensions I'd need (23) 60s which equates to 4-5 320s, and they last four-six months?

Cigar Oasis says it "Supports internal humidor volume of 4 to 10 cubic ft." Humi-Care says "up to 8 cubic ft." Both units have the exact same dimensions ands their reservoirs look as though there should be some sort of patent infringement. FYI, my Aristocrat Mini is a little over 2.5 cubic feet.

The Cigar Oasis Plus in my Aristocrat mini finally crapped out after 20+ years. It had been getting a little noisy over the last year and every few months I would give the fan a shot of compressed air and revive it for a while. It was the original humidification that came with the Mini all those...
