    Is it possible to bring back a dried out humidor?

    The short answer is yes. Do to the nonuse I would suggest sanding lightly just to open the grain. Wipe out the dust with a damp rag or sponge. Do NOT put anything on the wood unless it is distilled water. I would suggest not putting anything on it at all and just use the bowl of water for a...

    Taking down my Walkin Humidor

    The halogen lights that I bought also have a UV filter on them as well. So I guess that will help. Also I figure with the dimmer and the fact that I'm not going to leave them on for long periods of time.. I should be fine. It will be for the walk by in the night to see how they are doing in...

    Taking down my Walkin Humidor

    I've seen mold grow on cigars at 65% so I figure it will grow on sheetrock and other things as well, so that's why I opted for WR sheetrock. I will concede the halogen lights for the LED's on a small space - you guys are probably correct about the heat and UV, I leave my boxes closed so it has...

    Taking down my Walkin Humidor

    Unless you leave the lights on for extended periods of time, I don't know that it will make a difference. I use hallogen track lights in mine but rarely leave them on for more than 10 minutes at a time. They work great. One other thing you may want to do is use moisture resistant sheetrock...

    UPDATE: I am an IDIOT and need your support

    Just an update. I am now quickly approaching my 1st anniversary of no dip. I don't know why I ever decided to try this, but smokemifyougottem, thank you for the inspiration. I hope you were able to kick the habit too. It just goes to show, it's never to late.

    Los Blancos cigars

    In our litle section onf the jungle both lines are represented by TriStar. There is no relationship between the two manufacturers other than that though. I like the Criollo line, but the others are a little to mild for me. The good news for the full body smokers out there though is David (the...

    Cyber Herf IX - The Blind Cyber Herf

    Sorry to be the last one here again. I ended up having to wait until today to try this cigar. Appearance: Nice evenly colored - medium brown wrapper with a rustic look. Kind of oily sheen with some very pronounced veining. Firm to the touch and a pleasant aroma. Smoke: From the start, this was...

    Maybe I was wrong about Perdomo

    No, they are one and the same. I like a couple of Perdomos. Lot 23, de Silva, and the old P square line.

    Pepin no longer rolling Padilla

    Wonder if we are hearing the same stories from the same people? But you are correct, I've been hearing this for almost a year now, they were supposedly just waiting for the current contract to end.

    Anti-tobacco activists trying to link Cigars to Kids!

    Unfortunately, they are not going after the folks you know then. But there is a whole lot of'em out there that this is very effective with, especially when it's about the "children".

    cigar storage question

    I agree. As for the lower himidity. It would depend on how long the sticks were stored in this condition. The longer time, the less likely they'll be able to be revived. And even if you could nurse them back, the taste , due to the loss of essential oils, would be greatly affected.

    Have you ever tossed a $15+ cigar?

    Both sizes of the ESG went out the window as did one or two others. Life's to short to fight through a problematic cigar. If Henry's tool doe'st fix the problem the first time, out it goes.

    indian tabac classic tomohawk

    One of my first box purchases, kind of a sentimental favorite. But hey, if you don't like them, send them to the troops. I ordered a couple of boxes just for that.

    What's up with the Stradivarius

    Don't let it rest to long or there won't be any flavor, unless you use a match and draw in some sulphur. :ss One of the only cigars I tried in Houston that I just couldn't find anything good to say about. Tried one a couple of weeks ago, best I can do is: it makes smoke and burned really well.

    Herf Aftereffects Poll

    I guess I've been lucky, after multiple herfs now I've never had any problems getting up and going again the next day. I frequently use a breath purifier I found in Houston last year and it really seems to work well throughout the day. It's called Dr. Nicks.

    Pepin Holiday Samplers - Check your boxes

    According to the therm/hygro I gave him (tested and accurate) he's at 76 degrees/68% RH. Both are a little high for me, but I don't believe either is going to cause any problems. Like I said earlier, most here in GA, even the big shops, experience higher than 70 temps all summer long with no or...

    Pepin Holiday Samplers - Check your boxes

    Aaron, I just meant that none of these were mixed with leftovers from the original batch, so yes, they are all from the same run. I'll be back over there tonight and I'll see what the digital says, it did seem rather warm in the house and I suspect it will be well over 70. Not Customer...
