    Harley Davidson

    Hi I have a Harley-Davidson Sportster and I bought the "smallest" one as this is my very first bike, it was the cheapest option and I wasn't sure how much I would drive. But I'm having a blast with the bike so far and I have had it for about 3 years. It is not a bike made for crusing long...

    Help with a humidor/hygrometer and Humidifier purchase

    Hi I bought the Tuscany model from cheaphumidors.com together with beads from heartfelt. Don't forget to buy some Boveda seasoning pack to break in your humidor. Apart from that I also bought a digital hygrometer/themometer so I can keep an eye on humidity and temperature :-)

    Going to Italy...can I bring some of my Cigars

    Hi I don't think that should be a problem. Which airports are you going via or are you travling directly? Maybe you can find some bargains at the airports you know :-) Where in Italy are you going? I might have a trip report that can help you :-)

    This country is beautiful

    Hi I remember asking an american guy if he had been overseas and he replied "Why should I travel abroad...we have everything here in the US". And I guess that is true...you can find more or less everything is such a vast country. And yes, everybody should take time to see and experience their...

    Televisions

    Hi I'm also looking for a TV as the prices has gone down quite a lot. Here is what I have been able to conclude from reading about it: Buy Plasma if you are mainly watching regular TV and movies. Plasma can be sensitive to light so if you have it in a room with lots of windows it can influence...

    Heartfelt Humidity Tube

    Hehe...no, I think it will take more than two weeks. Cigars are damn expensive here in Norway so I think that I will first of all buy when I travel out of the country. I don't smoke that much anyway...maybe once a week or once every second week so these will last a while for me :-)

    Heartfelt Humidity Tube

    Hi My cigars have now moved into the humidor :laugh: This morning the hygrometer showed 75% so it seems to be working. Here is a picture of the humidor: http://bp0.blogger.com/_pLrg6eMZW9o/SIV-Uw...ad-3-785597.jpg

    Wine budget vs Cigar Budget

    Hi I guess I drink about a bottle of wine per week and the average price might be something like 20$. So the annual budget of wine is about 1000$. I mainly buy to drink and not to store but from time to time I buy Gran Reserva's from Spain (1996) and I also have a couple bottles of Brunello wine.

    Boveda Humidor Seasoning Kit

    Hi I'm breaking in my humidor with 3 packs of Boveda Humidor Seasoning Kit. According to the instructions I should leave them in the humidor for 10 days before I check the humidity level. Should the humidity level be 84% in the humidor at this point? Anyway, I have some cigars that I will put...

    Not cigar related - An Oracle database question

    Hi Not to be mean or anything...but from what I have seen on this forum I'm not sure you will get a response anytime soon :D In my previous job I worked with an web application that used an Oracle/SQL Server database. Our problem was normally not the database side of the application but the...

    Heartfelt Humidity Tube

    Thanks for the feedback guys. Now I just have to calibrate my hygrometer to make sure that it gives a correct reading :-) I went to the pharmacy yesterday to buy sterile water by the way. It was funny to see that it was cheaper with a liter of this water than for a bottle of drinking water sold...

    What are you listening to?

    Hi I borrowed a Rammstein DVD from the library the other day. Quite a good pyro show during the concert. For those who are not familiar with Rammstein: they played the opening song in the movie xXx :D
