Got a box of Vegas Robaina Famosos and Bolivar Belicosos Finos on the way - I hope.

Assuming your hydrometer is accurate, where do you keep the cooler. I have mine in the basement and in the summer even with 65% beads almost all white the humidity will creep up to 70%. I usually run a dehumidifier, but since it's unfinished I only run it at night when the electric rates are...

I'll suggest Juan Lopez Selection #1 or #2 even though they aren't on your list. The #2's I've got from June 08 are smoking good right now.

I salt tested mine when I got them 2 years ago and haven't bothered since. I also just replaced the batteries in them in the last month or so. The display would fade in and out on me. I never salt tested it when the battery was low so I have no idea as to whether they loose their accuracy or...

I tend to gravitate towards the medium-full side of cigars. Cuban Bolivar (one of the Tubos I think) is one of the few that made my head spin. I haven't had one in over 5 years so I don't know if it still would or not today. Don Pepin Blacks to me are just raw, unrefined power. A lot of...

From what's showing in the picture they look good. The cigars appear to be about the same color, equal sized, and the bands appear to be neatly placed on the cigars. I'd have to look it up to see if the bands are close to what they're supposed to look like in color, embossing, etc. Looks...

Hard to tell without pictures. I've got some with 2 different bands. The one is a bright red, embossed band that has Desde 1875 on it lie you described. It is fairly new and I got it from a reliable source and am fairly sure it's legit. The other one is an Embossed band also, almost orangish...

It's an unfinished basement and it's only over about 1/3 of the house. The rest of it is a garage. I have a dehumidifier down there but I usually only let it run at night. The electric rates are cheaper at night and since it's unfinished I don't get too concerned if the humidity jumps a...

Cooler and 65% heartfelt beads and you're ready to go. I'm fighting the urge to start a 2nd cooler. I've been eyeing one of those cabinet humidors but I guess I'd rather spend the money on cigars. I keep mine in the basement and this time of year it stays dead on at 65%. In the summer even...

Sounds like he copped an attitude. The customs agents tend to get cranky when you do that. I used to live by the Canadian boarder in NY and would make the crossing once or twice a month to buy some beer. I'm not even sure what the laws are concerming bring it back but I never had a problem...

I've pulled cigars out of a humi reading high 60's before and they're too try. I've also pulled them out when it's reading in the low 60's and they've been so wet I can't get a good burn/draw. For what it's worth I usually try to take a stick that's been in the center of the humi. When I take...

I get a lot of my smokes on Cbid or CI's Joes daily deal - helps to keep the average cost/stick under control. You can get a lot of nice smokes in the $2-3 range. Some staples for me are 5 Vegas Series A's, CAO Brazalia and Italia's, Don Pepin Baez's and Series JJ's. They have a lot of RP...
