Nothing but love for those beads. I got a 120qt cooler a couple weeks ago and threw shilala beads in there. I open my coolidor in amazement to see that the humidity is always the same. I feel like its a cat and mouse game playing tricks on me. I know once I shut the door the humidity jumps up to...

I agree. Everything causes cancer or negatively affects health. According to now common logic, smoking is a cancer causing agent as well as a precursor to heart problems. The thing you have to look at however, is not the fact you are smoking chemical-less tobacco (unlike cigarrettes), but the...

I've bit the bullet and bought a cooler (pics should be coming soon). I was seasoning some of my old boxes in it when I opened the cooler and notice a glue/strong adhesive smell. I sniffed around and found one box to have this smell permanently attached to it. I think they must have went...

Because of the small pore size and covalent charges/dispersion forces, do the HCS/HCM beads attract/retain any aroma molecules. If so, I wonder if it may be beneficial to place them in an enclosed dampened spanish cedar container for a period of time to assist in achieving that desired smell in...

With the hundreds of millions of different cigars RP puts out, maybe they mixed up your box with a different brand. :D

Just out of curiousity, what were HCS beads developed for initially?

an Opus X or even an Oliva V

I live out this way (Bonney Lake), so I sometimes go camping at Buck Creek or out on I-90 just past Snoqualmie at Lake Katchees(?). If you go out along 410, try going over the mountain sometime and camp on the Eastern side of Rainier before you hit Yakima. Good camping and less crowding usually.

I've got a leather case. I can say that if you are traveling for longer periods of time, that you probably won't want a leather one. It doesn't hold humidity as long as some of the travel cases, and your cigars will be more protected in a hard shell case. I like the leather case for shorter (1...

So the other day I was fishing on a river, and thought "what a perfect moment for a cigar." So I indulged the senses and lit up a DPG Cuban Classic. Pretty soon, I was looking at the smoke carelessly drift down wind, right across a young guy's very aggitated looking face. I excused myself...

I like your thinking! :tu

Gurkha= fancy boxed dog rockets :BS

I really enjoy the churchill. Try these beauties with a little age on them and WOW!!! Talk about a cigar that ages well. Even after 8 months it mellowed down and flavors really popped out of the tobacco.

I normally dump BBQ ashes on the lawn when emptying the catch container. I've heard from someone somewhere at sometime that the ashes are supposed to be good. Or.... I could just look like an idiot spreading ash all over the lawn. Now that I think of it though, after volcano eruptions like St...

I'll smoke dog rockets like Gurkha!!! :pu If I want a good smoke though, I'll try a Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 Torpedo. Good smoke and excellant construction.
