So... with the Christmas season and 2 of my friends I've noticed taking a liking to the occasional cigar from me, I figured I'd get them a little something to get started on their own. Since I was making a CBID to reload on some Gurkha Regents, I ordered 2 humis at $11 a pop which is a pretty solid deal and lets me save on my shipping fees. I was also running out of room in the humi thanks to 2 contests won right here at CP so it was a good time to give away some smokes.
The first thing I did was take out the crappy foam that came in the humidifier!
Next, I had ordered 1 pound of beads for a reason! Using bilder's method, I replaced the crappy foam with some beads.
I am prepping them now using my extra hygrometer to find out when the humidity settles in the humidor.
I then will include these 5 decent sticks: Gurkha Expedition; CAO Gold; Rosa Cuba; Gurkha Regent Torpedo :love: ; and Punch Magnum. I like the Punch and Regent but the others are still solid sticks, just not to my tastes.
I'll add a friendly little note explaining some basic humidor care (DISTILLED water), how to use the beads (Don't eat), and explain the flavors I tasted on each of these cigars. I'll mention that the Regent is my favorite of the bunch, and warn them that this is for them to taste only! Add in a couple threats: If YOU don't smoke these, and instead, give them away to your lame roommates, I WILL KILL YOU AND BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN". And of course, I will demand their opinions on the cigars followed by some other various insults that belittle their manhood.
Hopefully, because of this, I will add 2 guys that will have a cigar on hand who will want to light up with me, and of course, bum off when I have none on me! :laugh:
