Three days left on the contest...

Everyone pretty much nailed the PCs, but here are a few ideas for other sizes... Upmann Conn #1...best value Robusto HdM Epi #1...best value Corona Gorda Punch Churchill...best value Church RyJ Cel Fino...best value figurado Best value means, to me....what it tastes like for what you pay. Not...

Welcome Scoob...have any good scooby snacks in your humidor? LOL!

Try to give that 2000 RASS another year if you have the patience. One of the best 5-year-old island Robustos you'll ever smoke. They need 4-5 years to reach their full potential.

Good to see a rum thread....my beverage of choice with a cigar. For the money, HC Anejo Reserva is a better bet, IMHO. When I go to Mexico, I will drink this neat, or mixed, depending upon my mood. Not that there's anything wrong with HC7, it's just a taste preference. Outside the Cuban...

I distinctly remember 4 cigars that kicked my ass... First one that comes to mind was an OpusX RdC...about three years ago...I needed fresh air. Second, an OpusX Power Ranger that was original batch, gifted to me by Art Sosa. Wow...that packed a punch. Had many since, none like that one...

I had a cigar with the guys from Humidipak today (they are from Minnesota as well), and I guess I should have asked them...but here goes...feedback appreciated. It has occured to me that another easier hygrometer calibration is in a sealed bag with a couple of humidipak pouches. I know that...

BTW>>> The contest winner gets cigars of my choice, not yours...LOL! Smoked all my Davidoffs and Dunhills already. ;)

If I get a box of aged smokes, I generally go with a minimum of 2 weeks before I sample. I crack the box open to humidify or dehumidify to 64%. Smokin' em too early after I get them, I tend to get overhumidified tobacco that doesn't draw well.

IF I HAD TO PICK 3: 98 Trinis are awesome...complex, classic 97 Lusis - excellent aged RASS - with 5 years on 'em, they are superb...one of the most enjoyable smokes I've ever had. Honorable mentions to: BBF Punch Punch Cobiha Lancero - when they are on, they are ON! One more to smack you in...

LOL at Allofus...that spreadsheet looks vaguely familiar ;) newbie question for the board...whats a FOG? I could guess, I guess. Contest and welcomes stay open til Friday... Oh, one more thing...you can post more than one (I don't care)...just one entry per person.

Jim...good to see you here as well! ABV...don't really have a problem with the sliding door, as it has a pretty decent felt seal anyway...and the set-n-forget takes care of any discrepencies in humidity. I glance at the digital hygrometer once a day, and it runs right on the nuts at 64%. When...

AVB - I have a Stewart-Beckwith 38-special (http://stewart-beckwith.com/wall3.htm) so space is not an issue. I use a Set-n-Forget to keep everything about 64 +/-1%, because I prefer the draws and aging at that level.

...a couple of Minnesotans in the first few posts...nice. Monkey...If you win, I don't know if I have anything mild enough to send you ;)

Northern suburbs of the Twin Cities, Jim...closest tobbaconist is Tobacco Grove, or if I go north to St. Cloud, it's GW Coffee and Tobacco.

Hellooo der! Just found the site...very cool...I see a few CFers around too. Little contest for you. Normally the newbie gets a welcome package, but lets turn the tables a little. Everyone who posts a welcome to ME on this thread is eligible for a newbie package coming your way. Rules -...
