Thanks for the update, John. PPal sent just now. Chemyst :cool:

Usually I'll take whatever I want to smoke at the moment. Often I take two short smokes, one for each 9, but not always. RP Edge Missiles, Casa Torano, Pepin Serie JJ or Excalibur come to mind. I rarely take expensive sticks, since I want to savor them, but once in a while I'll take an AF...

I'd take 5 or 10 in a box split. LMK Unbelievable deal! Chemyst :cool:

My 28 bottle thermoelectric Vino is terrific. There isn't 5 cu. ft. so the bead website says less than a pound of beads. But, I use 1.25# of beads, plus a tube of beads (1 or 2 oz.) in each drawer. It recovers rh well after opening. It runs so quietly that I keep it as a nightstand, and it...

I have two 'Le Tube' 3 counts and a Cigar Caddy 15 count. That gives me flexibility, and 21 total for vacation. I use one Le Tube in my golf bag, the other is used for other occasions, like ballgames, picnics, etc. I take both Le Tubes when I want to gift a few, and still carry 3. The 15...

Overall, I like Fuentes, Ashtons and Padrons best. AFA individual smokes my current favs are: Fuente Hemingway maduro, any Ashton San Cristobal, any RP OWR, either wrapper The two best smokes I've had in the past couple of years were a Fuente Hemi maduro Signature and a La Aurora Cien Anos...

I have the VT 28 bottle thermoelectric wine cooler. It's the best investment I've made for my cigars. Using 1.25 lbs. beads in 2 trays, one on top, the other on the bottom. Also have a 1 oz. tube in each drawer. No experience with the smaller thermoelectric humidor. 'Extra beads' are better...

I have several tubes and experience zero problems. I bought 1/2# beads when I started smoking, and haven't regretted it. The last two tubes were purchased empty and filled at home. I also opened a 'standard' rectangular humidifier, took out the foam, and filled it with beads. Since you're...

Nice comparison test. My Little Havana 'Perfecto' hygro is spot on. I use it in my super premium humidor. I also have a HygroSet adjustable for my Vinotemp, and two Don Salvatore mini units.(which aren't very accurate or consistent with each other) A friend of mine has a Csonka hygro with a...

IIRC, spanish cedar dust is toxic. Wear a dust mask. I've heard of, and used the dust/glue technique with success years ago, with different woods. Chemyst :cool:

I stopped by Tampa Sweethearts on the way home from vacation in central FL. Darlene and Mr. Fuente were very pleasant and helpful. Darlene knew that I wasn't a regular, so she invited me into the office area to see what Fuente products they have in stock. I scored: 2 Anejo #77 Sharks (limit...

That park is still there, and so are the horses. FDR Park. The Eagles have a practice facility across the street, next to the Navy Hospital. Chemyst :cool:

Get him a box of VSGs, AND smoke a couple ESGs with him on his birthday. The VSGs are a great smoke. Chemyst :cool:

Valley Forge is a nice park for a smoke, too. Lots of trails, parking areas, etc. Chemyst :cool:

I see you're in Upper Darby. I don't know that particular area very well. Someone will know. Chemyst :cool:

Outdoors? Anywhere! In Philly I go to Holts, buy a few smokes then go to Mahogany cigar bar, literally upstairs. If it's nice weather I walk around Center City, or walk a couple blocks west to Rittenhouse Sq., a park. There is a bench outside Twin Shoppe cigar store in So. Philly. Been there...

I use aluminum cigar tubes and drill holes in them. I also opened up two of the ordinary humidifiers, removed the foam in them, and filled them with beads. For the Vinotemp I got 2 11"X14" lasagna pan covers from the Dollar Store and cut them down with scissors. Lots of area, cheap and work...

Have a 150 ct. from the start. Still use it for super premiums like OpusX, Anejos, Cien Anos, etc. Only smoke from there on special occasions. Got a 40 ct. 'freebie' Montecristo humi that I use for a 'dry box'. Added a Vinotemp for box storage, and another 150, or so, misc. singles. Also a...

1/2 box VSG Corona Gordas from Chado. Nice deal. Just in time for vacation, too. Lineup for vacation is OWRs and VSGs. Doesn't get much better! Chemyst :cool:

A week is probably my minimum. 2 weeks is probably about right. I often smoke one OTT, then let the others rest. Sometimes this doesn't pay off, sometimes OTT is OK. Chemyst
