Hello all, I just picked up an imperfect 300ct dome Humidor from cheaphumidors.com. The imperfect selection is a killer deal. Mine showed up with a small blemish in the top coat of lacquer, maybe 1/4" in length, on the bottom of the right side. You really have to be looking for it to find...

I have seen several posts lately about moldy cigars and workers in cigar shops that are less than in the know on the subject, figured I would pass on this experience. I have a shop that I frequent where service is great and selection is pretty darn good. I usually am able to score my share of...

Hello all, I was gifted a few sand sharks a year or so ago, I am wondering what the story is. Were these a one time deal, or is this a yearly run of the #77. I am just trying to determine the age of these sticks. Thanks for any info. Mike

Well, we all know that Opus x are far better with a year or two on them so I decided to box up a nice bunch and TRY not to touch them for a while. I was pleasently surprised to find out that my guy at the cigar shop saved me a box of Opus X robusto while I was deployed, minus the box of...

Hello all, I am sick as a dog with a nasty cold, so no smoke tonight. I have two Padron 40th Anniversary maduros left in the humi and I can not stop thinking about burning one. I figured since I do not want to waste one of my last Padrons I would see what your favorites were. If I can not...

After reading about moldy sharks it reminded me of this smoke. I have a pretty good stock pile of Anejo, and stumbled on a deal for a few boxes and some loose sticks. all had some age on them and after I smoked a few I found this one. So I was a bit concerned, I inspected all and everything...

I was out in the shop with the morning coffee and was taking some pictures for a job. Here are my recycled boxes put to use. At one time each half held 1/2lb of 65% beads in my frigidor, but large plates work much better for that. I will keep on track here with the morning smoke in the...

I was out in the shop carving away and decided a smoke was in order, to go with my coffee. Took a nice clean clip with my xikar and ??? I sent the company an e mail, we will see what happens, I am not smoking it. WTF? OVER!??? Had to burn an Opus Robusto instead.

Hello all, I was down at my local store the other day and ended up picking up one of the Camacho Liberty o7's. They were highly reccomended by the owner so I figured I would give them a try. This one seems a tad dry so I will let it rest, but was wondering what you guys who have tried them...

Hello all, I have been busy in the shop with a wine frige conversion. After lots of research I have decided a cooled humidor is a must down here, but do not have the $2k for a cooled custom job. So that leaves only one option, a thermoelectric wine frige. The Vinotemp 28TEDS is the cabinet I...
