    Which one of these is not like the other one?

    Thanks Moki, that would certainly explain the "tubar" in "entubar" (and explain why Fuentes draw so well), but I've read definitions that made me think the accordian style was (also) called entubar. Do you know of any definition that would specifically describe the accordian folded rolling...

    Which one of these is not like the other one?

    Great post Moki .. thanks! Do you know if all handmade Cubans are entubar rolled (the accordian style)? I've seen that type of rolling in a LGCR5 that I dissected last year.

    salt test

    First things first. For the salt test to work the salt has to be a saturated solution. I use much more than a teaspoon and I run this in a see-through tupperware. If the salt is not saturated the humidity will read too high. If you use too little water it will take longer to reach...

    What are the most commonly counterfeited

    Can't answer your question but I pulled a piece of popypropylene bailing twine out of a puros indios once. Had I smoked that one I would have probably found the same flavor.

    Dirt Cheap Smoking Pleasures

    Serious cigars .. .I looked at the date and it was January (more than a few months ...no wonder they're almost gone). Buy 3 get one free deal so 37 sticks for 69.05 + shipping. I should have bought more. Edit: make that 34 total.

    Dirt Cheap Smoking Pleasures

    I got Piranhas on sale a few months back just over 2 bucks a stick. Slightly more $ is Fonseca KDT. Don't smoke much else in that price range.

    Asthon Cab Beli or La Aurora 100 Anos

    Ditto. Got a box when they first came out and loved them. The other 3 are not nearly as good.

    Can't find Opus X?

    Well I'd like to apologize to CP for my role in this and to CC in particular for dredging up an old pass. You have a nice board here with interesting people. Hopefully we'll get a chance to herf together some day.

    Min Ron Nee

    Lots of juicy pictures, reviews, information ... not perfect, but really an excellent work on his part. Makes you want to go out and buy more cigars though.

    Can't find Opus X?

    You know, I've been involved with many trades on other boards but here nobody knows me. I would expect to send my side first and would have no problem with that. 100+ trades elsewhere means squat and thats just how it works. Trust is earned, you don't get a free cup of it when you walk in the...

    Can't find Opus X?

    So Fuente will sell you the cigars in the nice presentation boxes, which as you point out are really quite nice, or in cheaper boxes as well? Is there any difference in how much they charge for the smokes in the presentation boxes vs. not? I learn something new every day.

    Ahh, temperature!

    Every degree above 70 increases the risk of hatching. If you can get 69-71 in another part of your place thats where the door should go. I've found holes in the odd cigar and my boxes for long term get frozen as I have access to a commercial freezer. I keep those in a separate cooler than...

    Ahh, temperature!

    Cooling is basically heat exchanging, so there is nothing I know of that you can put completely inside your unit to provide cooling. 78F is too high as others note. I'd move your humidor to a cooler part of your place and leave it there. Either that or put the AC on when you're planning to run...

    Home Depot, you just lost my business.

    I don't know man ... I work with some of those radical feminist lesbian (or lesbian wannabes) bee-atches who work in areas like "Womens Studies" or "English" and they're enough to make anybody puke. We're not going for equality of the sexes here, its gay, lesbian, and now the transgendered that...

    Friend's brother took a round in Iraq today

    I'm sorry to hear that news but am heartened that his condition is stable. When somebody who volunteers is hurt or killed they're really taking one for the rest of US who are sitting at home in a comfortable chair. Please thank your friend and his brother for their service. I'll say prayers for...

    Red Stripe Beer

    I like the stubbies ..... bring back fond memories of drinking under the bridge in high school. The beer itself doesn't do much for me .... but I'm sure it would taste better cold on a hot beach watching bikini bunnies play volleyball.

    Tabacalera Perdomo Inventory Blowout!

    Where abouts do you live? I was up in Nova Scotia last summer for the first time in quite a while. Thanks heavens I brought my own cigars with me. The tobacco shop that I used to visit back in my old Balkan Sobraine days (MacDonald's) was gone, and none of the other shops were very good...

    Tabacalera Perdomo Inventory Blowout!

    Why yes, I'll take a Szamboti blank Balabushka. The details aren't that important, but I'd prefer 19g if you have one. Thanks so much for the offer.
