Careful with that axe Eugene!

nice

Shootr, I can't fully comment on the temp and Rh in your coolidor (and see that it looks to be under control right now, congrats) but will say in 30 years of collecting/storing cigars that having everything in one spot is a big risk when it comes to a tobacco beetle infestation. I recommend...

Worst part about all of this for me is that I lost a few boxes each of Cohiba Robustos, SIGLO IV/Vs and 2 boxes of Robustos Supremos (that I scored for USD$330 a box, 10 sticks each, due to a great FX rate back in DEC 2015). This all due to a super beetle infestation during corona virus where I...

That's exactly it. First year with SF Jilly G was looking like the second coming of Joe Montana but has fizzled due to the above and injuries. He's just not the leader. Reading a lot of sportswriters saying that LAR is the superior team vs CIN. On paper, yes, but they are a bit banged up, not...

I saw this thread a few months ago. Gotta get involved. I've got some great 2013 boxes, always thought that was a great vintage. About a week ago received 2 boxes of SIGLO VIs RAT 2020

Ramon Allones smokes have a slight raisin type flavor. Something I always found with that line.

I agree with CigSid and the rest of the posters and I'd like to add an observation that may or may not be accurate: I find that even in the main 67%-70% humidor that taking a cigar that has over 10 years of age seems to be OK to smoke without the dry boxing. Has anyone noticed this? Maybe it's...

What kind of watch should you buy your wife? None, there's a clock on the stove.

Gents I put them in dry from the get go. After a few months of not absorbing anything I thought they needed to be seasoned or activated - you know like those super tiny Oasis beads that grow 50X when they are soaked. I know those are different than Heartfelt but the principle...

Agreed. After a few months of them not absorbing anything I wet them and then let them dry for a few weeks in the open air. When they originally went into the humidor they were fresh, white, dry, hard as a rock and not containing any moisture having just arrived. Exactly what I wanted. But...

What do you call a dog with no hind legs and metal balls? Sparky

Anything from 2013 are exceptional regardless of factory. The tobacco rolled for that year's boxcodes (2012 harvest?) was somehow a great cache on the island. I have RA SS 50 cabs and Serie D #4 that were out of this world when I got them in 2014 - still rock to this day. Also note with the...

Now there's a medium rare duck I can get behind 👍 outstanding

I do too but hate licorice, go figure. Have you ever tried the Alberti Stregga Sambuca? Difficult to find these days but let me tell you, if you can get your hands on some and fire up with a strong cigar this is the Sambuca you want. It's hot down the throat and just exquisite. It's the...

Today for lunch I had a Don Carlos and a Sambuca. I don't usually do food for lunch. Making stuffed flounder tonight. Will try to snap a foto👍

Bosses at my job contemplating allowing work from home which I've been doing since 2002, 19 years. For some reason COVID has "reset" my original agreement and now I am jockeying for the privilege like everyone else. Home is here:

I purchased beads a few years ago, also the "socks" they go in. The manufacturer (Heartfelt?) said just put them in your humidor and they will absorb when over 70%. They do not. So I thought they needed to be be soaked and absorb water, then dried out in order to "season" and get them going...

Temp Stick, been using for almost 4 years, never a problem. Have 6 of them strewn about in multiple humidors in multiple locations. I can monitor remote. Easy to calibrate and with a good lithium battery it lasts a year before having to change (batteries). You need WiFi at the location of the...

CigSid, I thought freezing also wipes out the larvae and eggs, that once frozen that particular frozen "batch" was forever good (unless invaded from outside sources. Any info would be great as I recently had an issue and did the freeze thing.
