    Humidor Problem

    I don't mind sending 1 or 2 cigars to 1 or 2 people.

    Breaking it In

    I just want to say that Viper's beads are excellent. And I like Viper's drawstring mesh bags that I put his beads in. My humidor is maintaining its humidity so far. Thank you Viper.

    Humidor Problem

    Please understand that I've calmed down about this. I am no longer worrying about the humidor. I put the effort into fixing the problem with the humidity and so far everything is okay. I just smoked another Padron 1964 from this same humidor this evening and it tasted okay. Tommorrow I will...

    Aruba

    If you think that Aruba is nice, you should do what I did. Go to the Greek islands. The scenery is excellent and the beaches and ocean are like being in another world. Aruba cannot be compared to the Greek islands. Check it out sometime.

    Ouch finally found padrón 1964s over here...

    I just thought of something. Why can't you guys that live in Europe and in the UK just order these cigars from the internet? Will customs charge you if you order them from online cigar distributors that are in the USA?

    Humidor Problem

    Like I said, the humidity level inside my humidor is now back to normal at 69%-73%. This is a good thing. The only other thing that I have noticed that I am a little bit worried about is that there's still a faint plastic odor inside the humidor from the time when I had the humi tubes with the...

    Breaking it In

    I don't know why your end caps don't have the plastic odor, but mine really did emit a plastic odor. Maybe yours were from a different batch when they were originally manufactured? I am NOT the only person in here who experienced the end cap odor problem. I already spoke to a few people in this...

    Humidor Problem

    I hope that you are right about the smell being replaced with that of the cigars and tobacco within a week. This might be funny to some people in here, but not to me. It would be very hard for me to relax if the faint leftover plastic odor that's still lingering inside my humidor absorbs and...

    Breaking it In

    If you order the beads, don't order the tubes. Order the beads with the drawstring mesh bags instead. The tubes have red end caps which emit a plastic odor to them that will smell up the inside of your humidor. Currently, Viper is correcting this problem by replacing the soft material red end...

    Humidor Problem

    I just re-checked my humidor again this morning. The humidity level was at 73%. The 70% beads are starting to work. The only other thing that I noticed was that there is still a faint presence of the sweet smelling plastic odor inside my humidor from the end caps of the humi tubes. This odor is...

    Humidor Problem

    I am going to purchase the sail makers wax like you recommended. I just haven't had any time to go out and purchase it. I have been busy with work. I don't even have much time to go and check up on my humidor. I am glad about one thing though. The humidity level went up to 69% the last time I...

    Humidor Problem

    This isn't true. I am here to get help, not to waste anybody's time. Please understand this. Also, I am considering getting a cooler if my humidor keeps having these problems with the humidity. But I know nothing about how to prep and how to use a cooler as a humidor for my cigars. I also...

    Humidor Problem

    Okay, here is the update on my humidor: I checked the humidity level this afternoon and it was at 69%. The 1 1/2lbs of Viper's beads that I put inside my humidor made the humidity level rise to 69%. I am hoping that the humidity level will stay at the 69%-70% level.

    Humidor Problem

    Hello again. As all of you in here know, I am having a seal problem with my 400+ count Don Salvatore Footlocker humidor. To correct this problem, I ended up putting 3 layers of the white peel and stick foam rubber weather stripping all around the lid and body of the humidor where the lid's seam...

    Winter humidor problems

    I always thought that 60%-63% was too low, but I guess that a lot of people in here like the humidity level inside their humidor to be below 65%. Is this correct? Or am I wrong by making this statement?

    Belated Merry Christmas to me!

    I've got 2 full boxes of "unsmoked" 1926 Maddies in my humidor at my office. One is a 1926 #6 Maduro and the other one is a 1926 #35 Maduro.

    The Plastic Odor Topic is Brought up Again

    I was curious why you like the 63% and 65% beads better than the 70% beads? I can tell you that the reason why I like the 70% beads is becuase the 70% ones might not really make the humidity inside the humidor that I am having problems with go up to 70% if my humidor is screwed up. And if this...
