    Question on storing cigars in cooler temperatures

    ....much too wet, IMHO. When a 75% / 60F stick warms up, the RH will be far too moist, and you may find mold even at the lower temperature. One man's opinion....

    Question on storing cigars in cooler temperatures

    I'm hardly the expert in RH, but I've listened to enough guys that know more than me to pick up a couple things. Nothing wrong with 60F storage at all. I'd not try to overthink the RH issue. We know that anything above ~70% encourages mold. We also know that anything less than ~60% will...

    Do you mix Cubans and non Cubans?

    Different boxes, but same cabinet.

    Cardiac issues and cigars

    Some of you guys already know, but a little over a decade ago, I had a quad bypass. I'd had chest pain off and on, finally got them to do an angiogram, and they wouldn't let me out of the hospital once they saw the results....🥺 Feeling great, I'm very sure it saved my life. Another big thing...

    New Lighter!

    Lighters are surprisingly personal. These have been good for me. Maybe the best all around - reasonably priced, super reliable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079NDPS1N/?coliid=IR5910O2QXRDZ&colid=1PX4C3Z5CIENE&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it Single flame torch - another good one...

    Absolute strongest cigars you've smoked

    Interesting. A CAO Criollo whipped my ass and put me on the couch, a couple decades ago. Nothing since.

    How long is too long?

    It's funny, get a hundred experienced cigar guys together and ask them what they run their storage at. You'll get answers from 58% to 75%, no kidding. Storing 65-68% has always been the target for me and my cabinet. Some sticks get the 'desk drawer' treatment or the 60% desktop if they're...

    How long is too long?

    I can't break it down to the number of hours, but honestly I do know it takes surprisingly longer than you'd think. I'd try full dry boxing....for a week. Seriously. And, rather than go by the gauge, I'd see how it smoked. Take five cigars, put 'em in your desk (assuming your ambient RH is...

    Getting this humidor instead of the diplomatic Cuban humidor.

    This should be a great addition to your cigar storage..!! FWIW, my Staebell is tall and slender, much like this one. I recommend you get at least two, preferably three hygrometers for this. This is what I did for my cabinet, putting them top mid and lower. They're inexpensive enough, and...

    Advice for beginners cigar palate

    I've found Cigar Inspector's Flavor Wheel to be a handy tool. Sometimes, looking the wheel over while smoking, thinking about the different flavors, lets you explore and put names to the tastes you're experiencing. Main thing is to enjoy yourself and the experience..!! But, this is...
