It sounds like I need to try the exodus and the virtuoso too hmmm:-)

Haha this might make me sound pathetic but I wake up every morning, and the first thing I do is turn and look at the hygros in my humidors. What can I say? I like to start my day smiling:D

Is the temperature fluctuating noticeably from morning to afternoon? Since we are measuring RELATIVE humidity, and the holding capacity of air changes with temperature... this could explain the variation you are seeing...

... and the best part is that it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. It is the Carlos Torano 1916 Cameroon. (can be had for <$4 a stick) I have now had three of these... one was over a year ago, and I hated the flavor! About a week ago, I was going on a short car trip and needed something that I...

No offense meant towards heartfelt from my original post. I am sure they are a great company and I have a lot of respect for the retailers that participate on this board. My apologies if I came off as critical of heartfelt! :tu

As a few of you might know, about 1 month ago I had a series of minor crises regarding my cigars. I may have slightly over purchased, and I was suffering the effects of the SUPER humid St Louis summer. The fraction of cigars I could fit into humis were hanging right around 75%-80%!!!:mad: While...

thanks for the great review (nice pics too!):tu:tu I agree with most of what you said- a bit peppery and wood to start (with a too-stiff draw) but once the burn hits the "bulge" it opens up really nicely! Then you get the great caramel flavors! Tip - I like to cut alot more off these compared...

homoginized usually means that its tobacco and papper ground into a pulp and made into a paper like wrapper...

I really like fonseca bin 27 - no idea on price as I only get it when out :tu

I have never risked losing a house or anything that serious, but this rings true for me. Smoking I get to take an hour and be completely selfish - reflect on life and myself. Its a good thing. Also, once you get into this site, the brotherhood is great. Its hard to describe without experiencing...

they are all so pretty I can't bring my self to smoke any....

hehe - If I am not mistaken, a few of the sticks on the right are from you! Thanks again for the lot - smoking em has been quite an experience! The saddest (:D) part of this story is that more cigars are on the way! (DPG blue 5er):chk:chk:chk
