Hi Everyone, I finally got around to trying some smokes that I got during one of the noob trades. I really liked the Ambros Mundos and want to get more. However, I'm a bit confused looking on-line -- it seems that the band has changed? Is this true? I can't seem the find the plain old band...

Hi Everyone, I'm torn between a tupperdor and a nice small humidor. About 4 yrs ago I went the humidor route from cheaphumorous.com and had a heck of a time keeping rel. humidity up. It was a constant battle. (used beads, digital calibrated hygdrometer). Fast forward a few years and I'm...

My first humi was from thompson. After having many problems with humidity, I finally tested it and found that it didn't seal properly. Ok, no prob, I pitched the cheap cigars and bought another from cheaphumidors.com. This one works well (it's a 100ct 3/4 full), but I had a ton of problems...

Can someone comment on the "new blend" of jerico? I bought some last year and it's become my goto stick. I'm wondering at what point they were bought, and at what point was the blend changed?

Ok, so here's my situation... I have a family friend in the car business and I've been able to get great lease deals over the past several years. This will end soon, and I'll reaturn to paying 'normal' prices so I'm investigating options. Here's my situation. I live ~5 miles to/from work...

For a while now, I've been using filtered water from from our britta in the frig to recharge my beads. I haven't noticed any coloring issues (a previous thread said they 'yellow' over time). However, I'm having a heck of a time keeping them charged in the Michigan winter. I recharge them and...

Hi Everyone, The summer months wern't to much of a problem - 65% humidity and 68-72 degrees wasn't difficult to acheive. As we move in fall, I'm finding almost impossible to get the same results. Currently, the humi is at 66deg w/ 60% humidity. I've pulled it out of the basement, and now...

And their humi, was packed with ISOM sticks.. What gives? There was some blurb about legal importing on the outside of the rather large humidor - it looked pretty official too. Anyway, being a noob, I'm wondering about the legality of all of this.

Hi Everyone, Well, I've seasoned my humi, and have it about 1/3 full (a 75ct w/ ~25 in). I've been opening it about once every 1-2 days to check out my stash, make a selection, or add new cigars. The humidity has dropped to about 61% inside of the box. It has been rising, but very slowly...

Hi Everyone, I've been hanging around for about a month now, and thought I would introduce myself. I've received quite a bit of help from everyone here regarding humidors, etc. So, I'll be around here alot more often, and hopefully can contribute in some way too. Where to start.. hmm...

Hi Everyone, This is kind of an update from my last thread... I found that my thompson didn't seal that well, so I bought another one from BargianHumidors (CEO 100ct). I'm in the process of seasoning it now. I read previous threads and found that there was different schools of thought on how...

I'm trying to salt test the digital Hyrdometer I picked up from radio shack. I do as the directions suggest - salt in a small lid (milk lid for me), and water. I'm not sure how much water to use, so I put just enought to wet the crystals. Anyway, I can't get it to read more that 66%. I...

Hi Everyone, I'm glad I found the forum - lots of good info here! I received a thompson humidor for xmas a couple years ago (it probably holds 25-40 cigars). Without knowing any better, I've been struggling along and using the hydration instructions supplied with it. After viewing some of...
