If you head into a random B&M store and you have to choose 5-10 sticks that most *good* B&Ms would have in stock at any given time, what would they be, in order? I'm curious, because in the grand scheme of things, being new, I haven't tried even a fraction of what is available, and when I go in...

Excuse my newbieness, but are the "hemingway" cigars as I've heard a few people refer to here the Arturo Fuente Hemingway series as seen here? If so, are these usually very rare? Or common but good? Or? I'm just curious, because I thought I had heard that "hemingways" are rare, but I was at...

I've searched, but I can't find anything conclusive, and all I want to know is if I should switch beads or not... From what I can tell, most of you keep your humidity below 70%, and lately I've seen a few posts here lately about people who had mold and other issues with higher humidity, even at...

Being relatively new to cigars, I'm curious if the more experienced smokers spit as much as I do when having a cigar. Most times, I find myself spitting lot, and I don't even really realize it until I gather quite the pool by the time I'm done. So how about everyone else? Any particular...

This is probably a stupid question, but why are cigarettes addictive and cigars aren't. Or are cigars? I know plenty of people smoke alot of cigars (most of you :whistling: :laugh: ) but do people really get "addicted" in the same sense that they do with cigarettes. I mean, I don't really...

I'm surprised there isn't a sticky for this, and the search didn't turn up any posts that describe the process, but I have a quick question regarding it. My humi has had trouble maintaining RH for a year now and I finally am deciding to reseason it. I took everything out, SOAKED every inside...

For those of you using the humidipuck, are you having good results? Mine haven't been working so good... I have three 70% RH ones now. 2 tall and one short. I have one large in a humi that is about 10" x 12" x 6" that is new and has a good seal. It was seasoned for 30 hours or so, and was...

Sorry, I know this is a stupid question, but is ISO an abbreviation of ISOM? I figured out what ISOM is, but now I only see ISO and never see ISOM. Does ISO mean ISOM just an eliminated M?

My g/f hates my breath/kissing me after I have had a cigar. She thinks it's gross... As you all know that taste lingers for a while, which I don't particularly mind, but, of course, she does. So, has anyone found anything that works to remove the taste/clean up the breath? I've tried...

I just finished setting up my new humi, but I currently have the humidifier (the 70% tall humidipuck) sectioned off with no cigars really near it. Is this necessary or can I put cigars right on it and bury it at the bottom? Does it need some "breathing room" or?

I really just started smoking cigars 6 months ago, but I like it alot and have been dying to try a cuban. I have to know what all the fuss is about! I don't know how much we are allowed to say or not say about this on the forum, so feel free to PM me if you think you can help. I've compiled a...

I just received my glass top humidor from cuban crafters and I'm trying to season it. When I opened it, the built in hygrometer says 80%. There is no way that it is 80% in my house? I just put the humidipuck in after following the instructions for it, so I'm hoping the gauge will come down...

I'm very new at smoking cigars - about 6 months now. I've probably tried about 20-25 different ones (some of those were repeats). The ones I have tried that I can remember are, in no particular order (and none of these are cubans), Montecristo #2, Montecristo White label (I think that is what...

Where can I get distilled water? My only guess is a drug store like CVS? Are there certain types of it that are different? If so, which do I want/need?

Hey everyone, I just joined here because it seemed like a great forum and I'm in need of a humidor. To give a little background... I just starting smoking cigars about 6 months ago and so far I really like it alot. I've been smoking 3 or 4 a month, roughly, and I have been starting to buy a...
