Thanks folks, now I know. Yep, they were sitting in the humi for about a month...so I'll give it a while.

I'm really not sure what they are, I keep getting them in CI's samplers. It's a torpedo, and the wrapper is practically jet black. And as far as the fan, I had a Hoyo De Monterrey Excalibur that was smaller RG but longer last night with it on...and zero burn issues. It's not like I'm in a...

Pretty much sums it up. I'm one of those that even when in an airplane that just had both motors die, sits there calmly while everyone else is screaming (This happened to me when I was 10 years old)....or when I found out my rear brakes weren't working as I put on the brakes around an icy curve...

Honestly, I've seen many people who dedicated their lives to health go down for cancer (not lung cancer though)...some of them family. It seems to run in my family (so far everyone in my dad's side has had it, my mother's side has other ailments). That said, I figure I'll die from it or...

Does anyone else have this problem? I love this cigar, but I have to touch it up with the lighter repeatedly due to massively uneven burns. Or are these cigars just very tempermental to air circulation....I do use a fan when at my desk to keep the smoke out of my face.

I'm starting to prefer Acrylic after my experiences with the dry air in my apartment causing wooden humis to go nuts (I have to charge my humidifers every four days! Once I get the coin for it, I'm getting a room humidifier to end this madness...or is it to end this Sparta...I don't know...

Also look at CVS and various drugstores for cheap Colibri Firebirds. I got one for $9 at the local CVS, and it's been spectacular. It's one of those ones that has one cylinder with the jet and fuel in it, and another cylinder with the button/ignition assy in it (It works far better than the...

Since I rarely own more than 6 of the same stogie at once, I just stack them vertically in stacks of 3-4 (whatever fits). That way I can see what's what, and pull one quickly and easily. Minimum open humi time is a good thing.

Hey, I'm working on making the spare bedroom in the apartment a man-cave. I just need to figure out what furniture to get and some other details and it will be up and running. Mancaves can be created by most...it's just when the significant other is involved that it gets a bit messy.

Every company makes mistakes. We had a customer order a software upgrade, and instead got a mariachi CD in the package....no clue how that happened, but it gave both the customer and I a good laugh :)

And for what it's worth...I had a Backwoods. The Clints are nothing like that....the Backwoods were nasty as all hell (draw was good, but it tasted like I was smoking a pine twig). The Clints have none of that cigar's character...which is purely a good thing.

Yep, I bought a cheaphumidors Imperfect...the "imperfection" was a reddish spot on the inlay (wood impefection) and a section on the back where the varnish was thin but was only viewable is the humi was on it's side. So really, don't fear the imperfects. They tend to be good values. And 3...

Had a few Clints, and am now onto a Gran Habano #3

Yep, one day I was walking around in cyberspace, and next thing I know, I discover a link. One link...that made me think. I went inside, and went for a ride. Then when all the hooplah decided to subside.... I had a banner in my icons area :)

For what it's worth, I've taken a liking to them....I pulled the trigger on a bundle and a hard case.
