Chris, that is a beautiful pipe.   I have recently been working my way through a tin of Hal o the Wynd.

That looks just like mine, but there's no way I could be sure.

I have a little one that was given to me be a friend. He swears that it works magic with Va/Pers. Its a neat little pipe, but it has a round stem so I can't clench it, so I don't smoke it too often.

If it were me:   http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-18-200mm-F3-5-6-3-Canon-Camera/dp/B005QJOIP8/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1361898884&sr=8-7&keywords=sigma+cannon

Sorry, I misunderstood your question. Its not the Rh reading that concerned me, but that I did smoke one that I found to be too dry. That's why I was trying raise the rh back up. I haven't smoked any since trying to raise the rh. I was wondering how long it should take for the rh(?) of the cigar...

  You guys think its worth giving a go already? I was worried it would just be a waste. Maybe I'm being a little pessimistic.

A lot of people recommend drying tobacco out so it burns easier, but it will also burn hotter. The only time I really find tongue bite to be an issue is with overly dry tobacco. If you are in the habit of drying your tobacco before you smoke it, give it a try right out of the time and see if...

That might be a poorly worded question (search didn't turn anything up so  my terminology might be off). I started another thread because I found that the loose cigars in my cooler were a little dry, my hygro read between 58-62%. I'm still working on my storage issue, but I'm wondering how long...

You may also want to give Prince Albert a try. Many scoff at it for being an OTC blend, but there is a reason these guys have been around for more than a century. I personally love the way it tastes and since it was initially meant to pull double duty as a RYO cigarette blend, it has enough...

I was going to say the same thing. Once you get that lid off the first time it comes off very easily (too easily) from them on.

Old cooler is long gone (repurposed by the wife). Hadn't occured to me to check the cooler seal. I'll start looking into that, thanks!

I had half a pound of 65% beads that held my first cooler spot on. A few months ago I bought a new cooler (54qts?) and put another full pound of beads in. RH now varies between 58%-62%. My concern is that my loose cigars to seem too dry, which makes me concerned this is more than just Seasonal...

I'm with you, I typically associate "full bodied" with falvor, but this made me thing he was looking for strength:

Thanks fellas - found a three pack so I'll give it a shot.

If you're still looking - look for something with Dark Fired Kentucky, sometimes listed as "Malawi". (unsweetened burley). G&H cut many of their "straight" Virginias with Kentucky. It packs a wallop and gives you a more neutral tobacco flavor (as opposed to the natural sweetness of the Virginia...

I love the Short Churchils and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how they compared to their big brothers? After giving one to a friend who is a causual smoker he said that this was the first cigar that, as he reached the end, he wished was longer. I thought to myself...maybe it can be. But...

Really dig the stain.

I don't smoke in the car either, but after years of cleaning up baby/ dog puke and carting around smokey/ diesel covered turnout gear I have found the best way to get a smell out of a car is just to leave all of the windows open and let the car sit out in the sun for as long as possible.

For reasons I won't bother getting into, 2012 was a rather important year for us, so my wife went out and got me a 2012 Dunhill to comemerate the year. Apparently it was quite a task because most retailers are still stocking 2011s.

Christmas cheer is pretty sweet (and I suspect may have the slightest of sweateners added to it). Its definately a good transition from Aromatics to straight Viginias. You may also like H&H Anniversery Kake. Which is also very sweet (chocolatey). For something stronger, but still slightly sweet...
