I did a bad thing the other day. I started adding up the dollar value of what's sitting in my humis. Then I noted that ambient temp in my house is around 78 in the summer (I live in Florida). RH is controlled (well) by beads. But now I'm just kinda semi-obsessed about the possibility of...

Yeah, I've never been a scotch drinker, but last night on a whim picked up a bottle of Jon, Mark, and Robbo's Malt Scotch Whisky (The rich Spicy One). I'd never heard of them but at $30 per bottle was worth a shot. Plus the sales staff who is usually very knowledgeable, glowed about it...

I've read that nicotine is both a depressant and a stimulant. We smoke our cigars to relax, but sometimes get a buzz. This dual nature has me thinking. In Florida it's hot. The best time for a long relaxing smoke is late at night when it cools off somewhat and I can enjoy the patio. But is...

My humi is getting full of stuff I've ordered. Mostly samplers from all over, and lots from Cbid. The samplers tend toward the high end and the CBid is more the bargain to mid level stuff. I kinda consider all this expense to be my "tuition" to a more refined appreciation of cigars and cigar...

Well, I've started the horrible downhill slide. I joined Cbid and have been winning auctions :0 I'm doomed I see already. Anyway, as a newb, I've now graduated from the tupperdor to a new humidor from Cheaphumidors. It's an ok mid sized unit with a removable shelf, (no drawers) probably...

Hi all, I'd love a desktop humi so I've been scouring the web. Along the way I saw this: http://www.cubancrafters.com/products.php/itemId/331 which is either a) a good deal or b) a dog house. The humi looks similar to the ones everyone else sells for around $50 but the "their selection"...

It was a beautiful day off last week and I used the opportunity to drive to the beach to see my son. Top down on the car all the way up...and back. I gotta say, it's an immensely enjoyable experience to enjoy a cigar on a great ride. The convertible created some problems to deal with though...
