Xikar still stands by their warranty. My four year-old Xikar Quad Flame didn't hold fuel when I refilled it the other night. I filled out the simple claim form on their website and was immediately sent an RMA. I do have to ship it back on my own dime which will most likely be more expensive...

Very nice. Happy Birthday!

Maybe it’s just sensitive. My go-to hygrometer connects to my Ambient Weather outdoor weather station. I salt tested it a few years ago when I got it, and again last week and it was spot-on both times. In my experience, the salt test doesn’t guarantee accuracy either. I had another hygrometer...

The unit arrived Monday and I loaded it up with water and saw the readout reading in the high 30s. I had salt tested my hygrometers over the weekend and when I got the fan to shut off when the hygrometer read 68% the digital readout on the Humi-Care read 58%. I adjusted the readout knob as high...

Based on the Boveda calculator for a humidor of my dimensions I'd need (23) 60s which equates to 4-5 320s, and they last four-six months?

Cigar Oasis says it "Supports internal humidor volume of 4 to 10 cubic ft." Humi-Care says "up to 8 cubic ft." Both units have the exact same dimensions ands their reservoirs look as though there should be some sort of patent infringement. FYI, my Aristocrat Mini is a little over 2.5 cubic feet.

The Cigar Oasis Plus in my Aristocrat mini finally crapped out after 20+ years. It had been getting a little noisy over the last year and every few months I would give the fan a shot of compressed air and revive it for a while. It was the original humidification that came with the Mini all those...

Monkey Shoulder - My sister brought a bottle to Thanksgiving and I was pleasantly surprised. Very drinkable. I don't usually keep blends on hand but I might bring it into the rotation with JW Black for those guests who don't like my Islay tastes. M&H Elements Sherry Cask - Whiskey from Tel...

They're just great smokes Puff. I picked up Classic and Heritage robusto 5-packs at Thompson when they had their 5-pack blowout going on. They were about $20 each. It felt like stealing!

I pretty much enjoy almost everything from AVO and Crowned Heads. For CH, I haven't had many of their high end smokes, but Four Kicks (red label), Four Kicks Capa Especial (blue label), Mil Dias, Headley Grange, Serie E; all great smokes. The Capa Especial is a favorite. For AVO, The...

The Penelope Barrel Strength went over big with everyone. At 112 proof we didn't find it "hot" like many barrel or cask strength offerings over 100 proof. Pretty impressed. Lovely pairing with the medium/medium-full cigars we were smoking. We also did some damage on a bottle of Lagavulin...

Yeah, I didn't see any magical pairing qualities with cigars on the old version, but I did like it!

Yep. I had a bottle of the Dalmore Cigar Malt at that $30-something price. I liked it a lot too. I also started buying Doublewood when it was under $40. The Balvenie is still a solid dram at $65 these days.

Company coming in this weekend so I picked up a bottle of Penelope Barrel Strength. Curious about it. A lot of reviews knock it because it's young.

God almighty the fakes! Everyone knows that real Esplendidos come in a glass-topped box.

In addition to the ashtray stand I posted in the accessories forum I’ve accumulated a few others over the years. The gargoyle was purchased at a news shop in New Hampshire along with my first real humidor in 1996. The black one was a gift from my wife even before that, and is machined out of a...

I am still working my way through all the local Connecticut Octoberfests and Fest Biers but couldn’t pass up a 12 pack of this. First Celebration of the season!

I take the cello off anything in my humidor. Probably overkill, but I will crack a dress box, or in the case of a SLB, I just remove the cover. I'll let my humidor do what it's paid to do.

Hey, thanks for the contest! I'm going to say 38 and 4 for the tie breaker.
