    Still Having Humi Level Problems

    If you use a passive humidifier in your humidor (like the beads), the RH will always fall below its setting at some point. Also, depending on the moisture content of the wood in your humidor it can take several months to fully stabilize. I saw a write-up from an institute of some sort on the...

    Nicotine and Addiction

    From my own experience, I believe that the nicotine is the sole cause of the addiction whether it be in the form of cigars, cigarettes, or otherwise. To my understanding, nicotine is one of the most potent substances known and can be addictive in small dosages and deadly in large amounts along...

    Would you jump on this?

    I think this weekly special is a decent deal. My experience has been that I have to look long and hard to find better prices, including shipping, on the Dominican Republic Montecristos.

    Was...Help a brother out!

    I'll be going to the Tampa area tomorrow for an overnight stay on business. A real quicky trip. I've read a bunch of threads here about the Tampa area and a few cigar shops to visit, but don't really get an impression as to specialty or specially-priced cigars in the area. I won't have any time...
