How large is that humi, though - they don't say and you can't tell from the pic.

whoohoo, I'm next!

JR has it's holiday deals up with it's holiday catalog going out. A bunch of "cigar showdowns" - boxes of two (similar?) cigars. I don't know if I see anything that stands out too much. http://www.jrcigars.com

I've been reading stuff on aging, temps, mold, etc. The only certain thing I found is that there isn't any real scientific information on cigars and temps. So, I'm just going to play around with things. Initially I'm just going to see if experiments are even remotely viable at high temps (see...

Anyone else have any comments or suggestions?

Well...I'd want something I was familiar with. Not dog rockets because I wouldn't know how they might react to heat. But yes, not top shelf because they might turn into dog rockets :)

Yeah, if no one else has tried it, I will. I was already trying to figure out how I'd do it... :)

Anyone keep their cigars that are aging at high temps? The only reason I've ever heard why you shouldn't let them get over 70 F is to prevent beatles, but if you've frozen the cigars is there any reason why you shouldn't keep them at 80, 90, 100 or more? Obviously at some point bad things will...

I've been wanting to try one myself. From what I've heard they have excellent construction, are full-bodied with earthy tones, but are kind of plain. They come in really cool black treasure-chest boxes that look really nice.

They should be sacrificed to the cigar gods in a ritual involving Thompson's catalogs, dog rockets, packing peanuts, and some of thejollyco's lame fire. Just a suggestion...

well..not bad...i liked the jumping one better, though.

Dang Phil - you are the man :)

Here's my wishlist. I've found many things myself since the last wishlist, so here's a more narrowed-down list of things I really can't get a hold of locally and are hard to get or are out of stock online. Domestic Belinda Black La Aurora Preferidos 1903 Ltd Reserve Arturo Fuente Anejo Arturo...

hrm...

Yes the #8 and #7 lottery threads were among all the posts lost because of the hosting problem. I don't think you will be able to get your tracking #. I was the #7 winner and I did receive that package.

There was an "incident" with the hosting company. We lost a month's worth of posts.

You probably aren't getting up to 70% right now because the dry cedar is sucking up a lot of the RH - just give it a little while for the beads to work.

Looks like the numbers are: 3, 7, 9. Winner from Group A: Psytek Winner from Group B: Ellman Congrats you two - post some favs and addresses.

I just smoked another. Again a very even and cool burn, good taste, etc. I'm still very impressed, though I have come back down to earth from my "WOW!". I'd give it an 86.
