Something doesn't seem right about this cigar...

Nope...but try it out and let us know how it is  :)

Youtube...people with too much time...

Its been about 4 years as well...when they changed to the new encryption it was game over. When things were running, it was awesome.

I am trying to figure out if you are being serious, trolling, or just being unhelpful.

I find Intelligensia to be on the acidic side. Try out Stumptown if you run across it.

If you have too much water...hit it with a hair dryer. http://www.cigarpass.com/forumsipb/topic/11600-humidification-beads-faqs/

It is to my understanding that the beads are supposed to be able to draw and release to maintain humidity. I am not sure if they are able to draw a massive amount of humidity though. Are your beads completely clear showing 100% saturation? If so, I recall that you can dry your beads (heat...

Wow...thanks. PM sent. :thumbs:

Does the container lock in some way? I always find it better for the beads to be in a sealed container so they don't fall out. Just my 2 cents.
