Great deal.

PMS re first sampler! :)

Even if there is some history between the two sites, this is still a great find. Curious to see how this plays out  :p

  The humidor was seasoned for a few days and the cigars have been placed back inside. It is holding humidity between 68% - 69%. I am going to try and drop humidity to 64%-65% and see if the taste changes a bit. At the end of the day, I also have to be careful what I eat or drink before smoking...

  This was done during the seasoning period. 

  Of the seasoning of or the humidity maintenance? Maybe this will help... for seasoning, I have two shot glasses. One on the bottom floor, one on the second to top shelf. I also have two heavily soaked foam elements inside and did a wipe down prior. Currently, it is reading 72-73% and holding...

  Noted, and that contention is very reassuring. I believe the issue is with me, not my cigars. Nonetheless, I've purchased cedar trays to place on the bottom. Hopefully that will help with the dryness, especially since the bottom is my long term storage. 

Gentlemen, thank you for your responses. However my inquiry is not related to the rh and any anal shortcoming there of. Instead, I am curious if a poorly seasoned humidor will hold rh or is it sucking my cigars dry even if ambient rh is fine. This in lieu if difficulty tasting certain cigars at...

  The beads are over saturated, if anything. As for prior storage of the sticks, hard to tell. Some from cBid, some from BOTL. Yes, I maintain proper storage to begin with. I'm beginning to wonder if its an issue with my pallet and not my humidor :\

  1) I have 3 hygrometers which I personally calibrated. Two are +2% and one is dead on. The dead on one reads 67% and is in the center. The two that are 2% high usually read 70%. These hygrometers are located throughout the humidor, bottom, middle, and top.    2) That is my question. Will an...

Hello all. I seasoned my antiem by running the inside down with distiller water and letting it sit overnight. This was done some time ago and my humidor holds humidity well. Today, I picked a stick from the bottom of my humidor to smoke. The moment I lit it it burned fast and lacks in flavor...

Hello everyone,   My friend and I are considering purchasing this humidor for our place. I am familiar with CheapHumidors.com and have had no issues with them but wanted to get your take before we take the plunge:    http://www.cheaphumidors.com/p_store-humidors_HUM-1000.html   What do you think? 

Is Pete on here? 

Anejo and Liga Privada also meet the criteria, albeit neither is as oily as the aforementioned Tatuaje's. Lots of interesting smokes in this thread to try. What's interesting is, though I've been smoking for years, I've gotten BACK into Maduros rather than having continued to move away from...

Very interesting article. I will admit, it just looks and feels better int mouth and I seem to have developed a craving for it.

Might just do that.

So I recently smoked a Tatuaje Gran Cojonu and it's wrapper reminded me of pert sold cigars. Wrappers so oily you could almost feel it on your lips. Of course, I bought a few off cbid. But I wanted to chime in with you guys to see if you had any similar suggestions?

It was the Churchill. $19 + tax.

And I must say... dang. They are both excellent cigars. I've avoided the La Privada (even though everyone told me not to do so) until today and honestly, that smoke was worth the $20 price tag. Last night, I smoked a Julius Caesar I got as a gift in a purchase and... dang. It takes a bit to get...

Irvine Spectrum or The Block. Not sure which.
