Got a chance to go in and the experience was better than 2 years worth of B&Ms back home. I started chatting about how I'm from MN, here on business, didn't know Tinderbox was a chain, etc. I told him I like creamy mild smokes and have a low budget. He said "follow me". We walk into the humi...

Love the sig!

I just flew into New Orleans for work. I was browsing my GPS and found "Tinderbox". I thought no way is this the tobacco shop. Looked it up online and sure enough there is one here, had no clue that they were a chain. Anyways, hopefully the job won't be a 12+hour one and I will have time to...

Sorry for the loss of $375. No offense or anything but was that really the worst day of your life? Don't worry too much about it, you'll get past this and it will not seem like a big deal in the future, trust me. Also, at least you weren't driving of anything, an underage DUI would have been...

Thanks Frankie! Love the shirt, letting the stick rest for a while.

I can't believe this thread was created. I watched the same thing last night and told me wife "I wonder what cigars he smokes." :)

I have heard of Butera's. They were on sale at CI (I think) last year, never got around to trying them. One of my friends got them and said that I would love them, creamy, thick smoke, mild, etc. Unfortunately I see him less than once a year, he liked them though. Let me know what you think.

Sodium Chloride table salt slurry in a closed jar for 24 hours. Hygro showed 70% (-5% off). I am reading 71% in my humi right now with half clear half white beads. I ordered another LB of beads from you to fulfill my 7.5 ft^3 space, they are arriving on Tues (out of town until Fri though).

I did everything you said. Without beads my temporary 1.5ft^3 humidor measured 65%...perfect. I took the beads out, let them dry out, put the beads back in. 1 Day later the RH shoots up to 75%. Same amount of beads are still pure white. I know they are a buffer but +10% is pretty poor.

I am getting frustrated. I moved everything into a 1.3 ft^3 container with 1/2lb of 65% beads. At first the humidity shot up so I took the beads out and spread them on a piece of plastic. I let them dry out until about 1/2 were pure white. I then put them back into the container and I am...

75 gallon freshwater but haven't had much luck. I have had the tank for probably about 10 years now. First it housed Oscar African Cichlids. Had 3 of them for many years (red, albino, and tiger). They were pretty mild in temperment though and weren't all the fun to watch. When all 3 of...

Welcome from MN. Love the Golds by the way!

Welcome Frankie! Very generous of you. Keep us up to date, check in often.

At 25-26 hours (was gone for most of the night) RH was 70% At 12 hours it was 71% Looks like it is 5% off. Thanks for the help Dan

Bummer, thought I lucked out on my hygro.

I found the above chart. Currently am salt testing my hygro and it is sitting at 68%. The brand of salt I have is Morton Iodized Salt. In the ingredients it says the following... Salt, calcuim silicate, dextrose and potassium iodide. Does that mean that my test should be reading 68.86% which...

You don't think my cigars are ruined (lost their oils) do you? Judging by my hrygo I am guessing my cigars were at 55% for a few months, they are now at 60% in the 10gallon aquarium and rising. Again, I have 65% beads. At what RH do cigars start to loose their oils? There is absolutely no...

Thanks Viper, thought you'd chime in on this one :) Crap, well I'm paranoid now and moved everything into a 10 gallon aquarium that has been sitting for a long time (don't worry it is clean and smell free). I calculated that 10 gallons is about 1.3 ft^3 so my 1/2 lb is plenty for that. I have...

I used to have a smaller humidor that I converted from a side tabel. I now am using a non-working wine cooler chassis for my new one. It has a nice thick big glass door, plenty of space, etc. I transfered my 1/2 lb beads from my old one to my new one without thinking much about it. I have...

Gonz sent me a PM about a shop that is pretty close to my house. He said he wasen't exactly sure about the prices but it is a very nice facility. I am going to have to check it out. Thanks
