I've used the liquid Certo with good results. Obviously it affects the looks of the cigar, but no biggie. I had a badly damaged box of JL#2's and doctored about 10 of them. Other than some slight burn issues, I couldn't tell the doctored from the non-doctored. I took some pics as well, I'll...

Yep, they're sealed in a plastic bag.

I believe they last about 3 months.

I'll have to take a pic, as there is no visible model number. It's a small rectangle, maybe 1.5" x 3". Also it's been discontinued by the Shack, which is why I purchased the other model. You can sort of see it here (up top). I'll post a better one if needed.

I just received their 75.5 calibration kit to figure out once and for all which digital hygr. was the correct of my two. Two different radio shack models, one is 3 under, the other right on. Great peace of mind for about $5. Nice review on a great product.

I had a lot of fun reading through this thread yesterday. Any updates on how they're smoking after some extended humi time? Differences in flavor in the recent bundles?

This is the first I've heard of them. Who knows, I may try one if given the opportunity. This has to be a first....a cigar based on a television show. C.A.O. really knows how to market their product, I'll give them that.

Dutch Masters.....it was pretty harsh if I remember correctly. Haven't had one of those in about 12 years. I believe I bought a fiver when I bought my first Penthouse. :cool: The rights of passage when turning 18.

I've had two of these, and they were both amazing. One of the best. I know they start to show up in shops around the holidays. When I bought mine last year it was about two weeks before Christmas and there were 8 left. Might have to treat myself again in a few weeks, wish they were a bit...

Good point. I don't know how, but I hadn't seen that picture yet. Uhhh, thats a lot of cigars.

Suppose I should've mentioned that. I was thinking 3-5 years.

As I start to gather more and more cigars, I'm getting ready to do some long term aging. I was wondering why dress boxes are looked at as inferior for aging? Am I better off taking cigars out of their dress box and putting them in cedar trays for long term naps? Or is it not that big of a deal?

Sound like its time to gift him a cigar with a cigarette load in it. When I was a teenager starting to smoke Dutch Masters, my friends pulled that prank with annoying frequency. For those who don't know, it's basically a baby firecracker that blows the tip of the cigar off. I've never been...

I used to use the PG solution which maintained a 70RH and I had burn issues. Seemed to be too wet, and a lot of cigars went out if I wasn't smoking fast enough. I now have a cigar oasis plus set at 65 in my humi, and 65% beads in my cooler. I haven't had as many burn problems with 65%, so I...

Tanqueray Sterling vodka. Don't know what it is about this stuff, but I love it.............oh yeah, it gets me drunk.
