    Today's Smoke 2023

    Stopping by Kevin's house for a cigar, "hey Kevin, where's your smoking area?" "See that table over there by the propane and charcoal fluid...mi casa su casa.."... 😁😛💥

    mounting hygrometer on lid of humidor - not accurate readings?

    Coolers are definitely the way to go. I would only add giving a new one a baking soda bath first. Especially Igloos.. the 48qt ones that Walmart sells have a very potent plastic smell. I have 8 of them and 3 Colemans. Spend the extra .50 cents and buy a new box of Arm & Hammer.. not a store...

    Top 5 Cuban Non Cubans

    You're probably right. I haven't had the ones that have been floating around the past however many years. I've only had the ones from my boxes bought in 2013. Here's the newer version, that was changed for no good reason several years back: Here's the original band when they first debuted...

    Top 5 Cuban Non Cubans

    Not with whatever version is floating around these days! With the ones I bought in 2013, yeah, I'd bet.. especially with the Churchill! I haven't had whatever versions that have been floating around lately. I do know I have a couple of the prebundled LADC Fresh Packs I got over the summer...

    Top 5 Cuban Non Cubans

    Idk why they felt they needed to change anything about it. I'm also not sure why it's changed hands so many times since the name rights were purchased. I bought 2 boxes back in 2013 after my story above about the Ashton band change. Around that time, probably 90% of everything I was smoking was...

    I could take the band off a LADC Double E and hand it to the biggest Habanophile I know and he wouldn't doubt for a second he was smoking a Cuban cigar. ETA: Just went to see how much they're running these days box-wise and came across some disappointing news.. apparently there was a brand...

    That could be said for most of the NC brands of CC origins. Have you ever had the NC Monte 2 compared to the CC?? 🤣🤣🤣

    Illyrian Cigars

    Monti was nice enough to reach out. Like I stated prior, I would give a breakdown after smoking a 2nd cigar after acclimation. When I pulled the 2nd one out this past Friday, the Accurite hygro read both 67% RH and 67°F. For a reminder photo shortly after light: Prelight impression: I didn't...

    From an old bag full of various Perdomo's I forgot about (it had the sun grown I had Fri nite too, all kinds of treats in here). Also putting up some decorations in the humi. Nag, nag, nag.

    Did I miss a couple birthdays?

    Between Chad and Jon, we got pretty damn lucky to have those 2 take care of bdays and holidays around this joint. Thank you fellas! 🏆 For all the bday posts I've missed, my deepest apologies and I won't bump up every one again, so a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the ones who got away from me...

    Ha! Yeah.. she was smokin' hot! I'm all good.. healed pretty quickly. Was probably too soon to go lugging around a bunch of 50 and 80qt coolers and totes last night, put a little Biofreeze on this morning, feels fine. Enjoy that stick Brother! They taste better after making a payment on the...

    If you like the Shade a lot, you should start hunting and storing them. They've been discontinued. Any you see still for sale, are the last.

    Today's Smoke 2023

    I did enjoy this Perdomo Habano Sun Grown with 10+ years on it tremendously: Also got notification that my super thirsty cedar has finally been satiated after TEN GALLONS of distilled water.. finally north of 60% RH in there.. Which meant my buddy and me could put a few cigars in there...

    Today's Smoke 2023

    So, had my 2nd Illyrian cigar from that brand owner who came and went... for whatever reason. I was going to initially give a full breakdown and review of it now that I've had the 2. Not sure if it's warranted now that he's gone though. I'll leave it up to you guys if you want it.. otherwise I...

    Happy Thread

    I suppose.. it's teetering right now at 32 degrees out.. Man.. it sure doesn't feel that way.. humidity-wise that is. Took and posted the pic of that Illyrian Cigar from that guy who sent them to try, and my hand was all dry and flaky in it. Just now thinking about it, I can feel how dry it's...

    So, "best-rated" humidifier on the market.. according to Wirecutter. Anyway, it has a great app that let's you do everything with it. I had the heat set at 65° initially, and this is the hygro furthest away from humidifier when I started it yesterday morn: Hard to see, I know, temp says...
