I recently set up a coolidor and based on it's size it called for slightly less than 1/2 lb of heartfelt beads for proper humidication. The beads I bought were 65% RH(because it stays pretty humid here in SC I figured it would be better to go with 65% over 70%) and I also purchased the...

Rod, Thanks for the tip, I had know idea, but that's why I'm here :D . I'll get a punch and that will be a good excuse to give another one a try. Thanks, Paul

Greg - Usually those deer would be nothing to be concerned about, but if any of them begin developing some large head gear as the summer progresses, proceed with caution. Those ones can become quite dangerous ;) ! I have some experience dealing with dangerous wildlife such as that and I will...

No that wasn't my dog :D . That was a tanned hide from a fallow deer I killed a while back.

Being a newbie I am rapidly becoming a believer in the quality over quantity school of thought. I limit my cigar smoking to one each weekend evening and I intend to continue that way. Just about every cigar I smoke is a new experience. I am gradually beginning to accumulate some good cigars...

Please bear with me as this is my first shot at a review. This evening after a nice dinner the wife and I retired to the smoking room to sample a couple LFD Double Ligero Chiselitos. Upon initial inspection of my stick I found the wrapper dark with a slightly oily texture. The wrapper was...

Just like wine I guess. There is good and there is great and then there is great that is so great that you rarely can get it and if you have it you better hold on to it.

I've also got an igloo marine cooler on deck for when I am ready to move up to a larger storage container, but it is approximately 7.5 cubic feet and it doesn't make a lot of sense to fill it full of empty cigar boxes for a small, but growing collection. Hopefully someday soon though.

I was reading on a different thread where BBS stated that he used the tubes and bags and merely places the distillied water in a spray bottle and moistens the beads in that manner.

Starting a coolerdor and the internal dimensions of the cooler are 1' x 1' x 2' = 2 cubic feet. A half pound of Heartfelt beads is recommended for a maximum of 2.5 cubic feet and they said it does not hurt to have more beads than is called for. Would there be any advantage to using 1 lb of...

Thanks for all the input. You guys did a good job explaning this to me. So a Padron 1926 would be considered a super premium? And I guess taking advantage of special collections and sitting on them is a good way to be on the way to ratity? Grateful 1 that is an excellent link, I had know...

Would you guys mind giving a newbie some examples of what are considered premium, super premium and rare cigars? And is a super premium cigar due to rarity, price or both? Also, where is the best place to look to aquire these high end sticks? TIA Paul

Lagavulin 16 is my favorite single malt with Laphroig a pretty close second. I love that smoky peat flavor that sticks to my palet. I am not a big fan of Ardberg, but plenty of folks swear by it. If you want to try something robust, get a bottle of Laphroig Cask Strength.

cookie your playing with house money now!

I'm a diehard Pens fan as well - who was that team they were skating around yesterday, it sure didn't look like the Flyers who beat the Pens like 30 straight times. Time are a changing! I only have one word - GENO!

That is exactly what it means, after about the third, "honey, how much longer are you going to be?", I usually just relent and re-assume my station within the relationship! So now that I know the correct solution is shorter cigars, what are some of everyones favorite short ones? I like robust...

I know many of you are saying to yourselves what a dumb question. Well there is no such thing as a dumb question, just dumb people asking questions! Sometimes, because of time limitations or I just do not want to smoke for another 1/2 hour, I would like to put it out. Is there anyway to...

Now if I can just get to feeling better. Fever and chest congestion just doesn't put me in the mood for a stogie. I am very fortunate to have stumbled onto this forum, the information about cigars on here from veterans to us newbies is invaluable, but pales in comparison to the courtesy that...

Hello to all. Just wanted to share a bit of a somewhat less than desirable day. First of all I am coming down with a fever and sore throat and to make matters worse I had personnel problems to deal with at work (disciplining grown men is the least desirable part of my job). Well after a...

Well that didn't take long to get resolved, mighty decisively in fact! :thumbs:
