I hope you're kidding. No offense. If serious, I'm much lazier. I never keep boxes open and it has worked fine for me.

Looks like mold to me. I would consider wipping it off as oppose to discarding the cigar. I would alos consider lowering my humidity a little.

My simple version of a cooledor. Has worked very well. http://s578.photobucket.com/albums/ss223/smokem1313/Cooledor/

I noticed some packaging difference between 2 boxes of Siglo IIs. Wording on the outside, sticker placement, parchment paper, etc. all different. Attached are photos of these two boxes and also a box of Siglo IIIs and Robustos. From left to right: Siglo II PLM MAY06, Siglo II EUP OCT08, Siglo...

PSD4s are (were) available in a SLB? Or did you just transfer them into one?

Interesting - ~400 views and only 11 votes. Anyway, please let us know how it smokes.

If you took a cc cigar to an US cigar shop, depending on who it is, they may or may not be able to help. There are MANY US places that would not have the first clue about ccs.

The band ends near the beginning of Cohiba is suspicious IMO. Otherwise, hard to tell for me.

Who's Sam and did he state something?

Thanks for the review. Haven't had one in a while, but I really enjoyed these when they first came out. Next time I reach for a NC, I'm thinking LFDDL.

Another vote for PSD4. Although I've enjoyed both, there has been times where the PSD4 have been heavenly.

As stated, try samplers. In addition to different brands, also try different sizes. When I smoked NCs, I mostly smoked larger ring gauges (48+), so of course when I rreally started smoking CCs I also went with larger ring gauges. I later found that many times I prefer smaller ring gauge CCs (~43).

I like both behind the PLPC, but the BPC edges out the Monte #4 for me.

They sure look purdy. Enjoy.

There will be anarchy. They'll never get along together. Seriously, agree with what was already stated. Other than potentially wanting different humidities (NCs higher), I wouldn't worry about marrying of flavors.

My untrained eye doesn't see anyhting supicious, but I would like to see a cigar.

Good point. Thanks for the response. Once again, great job you did!

Beautiful! Verhoevc, Obviously you are skilled and how knowledge about wood, so I ask, when seasoning do you actually wipe down the interior wood surfaces with water? I've done this to season all 3 of my dors and never had a problem, but have heard some state it will raise the wood grain.

I have a different perspective. I would not worry about a 5% RH swing. I would not consider that significant to cause any harm. Think about it this way. You open up your partially filled desktop in the winter (very low room RH) to get a cigar. The air exhange can dramatically bring the RH in the...

An increase in fakes, perhaps yes. But I would think most legit tobacconists would obtain and supply the real thing, so for the true/real cigar smoker for lack of a better term, should be purchasing a real cc. Prices probably will go up somewhat, but I don't see a "boom" as prevalent as last...
