    bottled water instead of distilled water?

    Or just boil some water and make your own!! Put a lid on a pan as you boil water and what collects on the inside lid will be distilled water. Make sure the pan and lid are clean.

    Reviving old cigars

    Thats the long part of the story, it has to do with a divorce, a long child custody battle, and the deep depression he went into after. One thing I forgot to mention is that when I recieved them, they were not brittle dry and they did still have an oily sheen to them. Now, looking at them...

    Reviving old cigars

    To make a long story short, a buddy of mine gave me a humidor FULL of cigars that he let sit for about 6 months with no humidifier. Over the last four months I have been slowly trying to bring them back by puting them in a 65% humi. I smoked a couple this week and they arent bad, the wrappers...

    Problem with Humidors...

    I used to arrange my humidors so I could see as many bands as possible, so I would know what I had. Now I put the longer sticks on one side, the shorter sticks on the other side and usually forget whats there.

    I smoke in my spare bedroom/computer/storage room. I have a window with a fan and a door that seals tight. I also smoke in my livingroom when my girlfriend isnt home. I have french doors in my livingroom going outside that sucks most of the smoke out.:ss

    Excalibur Legend Robusto

    Ive had a fiver of these in my humi for about 2 weeks, I couldnt wait any longer. First of all, this cigar looked good, slightly toothy, small veins, a nice even color and an oily sheen. It was firm and heavy for a Robusto. The pre light aroma was faint and cedary. After lighting you get a...

    Heartfelt Beads

    UPS shipments from CBID - Damaged?

    I HAVE had several damaged boxes delivered by UPS lately. There hasnt been any damage to the cigars but the packages have been beat up. Last week I watched a driver open the door to my front porch and throw the box 6 feet, up against the door. I did call UPS and they told me that if an uninsured...
