    For indoor smokers...

    Check out tonight's woot (www.woot.com). It's an Oreck XL Air Purifier for $99.99 (plus $5 shipping). I've never used them, but it seems like a good price for those of you who smoke indoors and want to do something about the smoke smell... Says it filters a 30'x30' room in an hour, so it...

    My stupid mistake

    OK, so back in my cbid bidding spree, I accidentally got some flavored smokes. I don't know how I didn't see from the description that they were amoretto flavored, but they were. Anyway, I was disappointed when I got them. I left them in the plastic bag they came in from CBid, and tossed them...

    Today's Smoke 8/10/2007

    Wow, it's past 11pm at night, and no one started a thread for Friday's smoke? Slackers! :) Romeo y Julieta 1875 Cedro Deluxe No. 1. Bought it from my B&M about 10-11 months ago, when I was first starting out -- asked him for some that he recommends.

    Purpose of tissue in boxes?

    I searched but didn't find anything useful. I opened my 4 boxes (RP Legends, RP Connecticut, Cusano Legends, 5 Vegas Gold), and I found that the cigars are bundled together with tissue (much like gift tissue). So aside from the "do you store them in boxes" and "do you store your cigars with...

    The "great" city of Seattle

    So the product(s) I've worked on over the last 4 years are finally shipping at my company, so we had a little cruise on the Puget Sound to celebrate. Open full bar, I was happy. :) Food, drinks, and people not talking about work! So I brought some cigars with me to celebrate. A Padron (from...

    Tonight's Smoke - 7/23/2007

    I can't believe no one else started a thread yet! For me, it's a Perdomo Estate Selleccion Maduro. Got it with a sampler set back in August/Sept, been in my humi since. After a couple puffs I realized it was gonna knock me on my ass. So far it has, but I'm still going on it. :)

    A week at CigarBid.com

    So earlier I started a thread about how to know if you have a CigarBid.com problem. This is further proof. I've decided to make a week of bidding. Every night, after the bids are over (from now until Wed night), I will post my winnings. And of course, once I get everything, I will attach...

    Here's someone who likes 5 Vegas Gold!

    Check out this auction: http://www.cigarbid.com/auction/lot.cfm?lotID=466406 Look at the highest bidder. He must really like them! (If I remember correctly, he bid that high when the bids were still at $7/$9.) I'm hoping he just put the $19 as his bid, thinking it was a "max bid" and would...

    Torch lighter refueling?

    I bought a couple Mercury Double Flame Torch Lighter from BargainHumidors.com. The link is here: http://www.bargainhumidors.com/bh/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=ACC-NSU25N. They arrived today, I played around with them a bit. Didn't take too long for the butane to run out. OK, I ran down to the...

    Hanging my head...

    I've been MIA for almost 2.5 months. Used to be on CS every day, giving my (limited) knowledge out and participating in lots of discussions. Then I went and got busy at work. Then bought a house. Now I'm finally getting settled back in, and while things at work are getting even busier, I'm...

    I messed up... my humi!

    <embarassed> OK, I feel bad. I have a decent sized humi, and ended up getting two smaller humis w/ some sampler packs from The Devil Site. Good deals, even if the humis didn't work out. The 40ct was a beaut. I seasoned her up right away, and was using her in a couple days. Humidity was...

    CigarBid porn!

    So I stumble out of my house this morning. getting ready to go into work. And there sitting right in front of my door was a big box. I figured it couldn't be from CigarBid, because the expected date of arrival was Thursday. Well, I was wrong! 95 of my 100 cigars were shipped (the other 5 are...

    The Devil made me do it

    OK, so after much resisting, I finally decided to go to The Devil Site to see what I could find. I already have a decent-sized humidor at home, not even close to filled up (28 cigars in a supposedly 175-225ct humi, but likely 125-150 is the real limit). So I wanted to see if I could find a...

    How long does distilled water last?

    I asked this in the Humidification Beads sticky, but no one responded, so reposting. I bought a gallon of distilled water, and after using what I needed (wiping down humi, sitting some in a bowl for a bit, filling The Pucks, etc...) I have a ton left over. Of course I put the cap back on -- but...

    I can't stand the wait...

    A week ago, I won an auction on Ebay for a (supposedly) 175-225ct humidor. From the dimensions and looking at the picture, I think it will be close. Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=018&item=280022832087&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Anyway, so I paid via paypal...

    It's a slick slope...

    It's a slick slope, and I can already tell it's going to be a long fall... I'm sitting here on my porch, with my laptop, and an el cheapo cigar. Optimo Corona (a brand of Swisher). It's an OK cigar, mild, but I know there's a lot better out there. I picked it up in a 3 for 2 deal when I...

    Room temp for a humidor?

    I've searched the forums, and read the "first-time humidor" threads, but I've not really found what I'm looking for. If it's been answered somewhere and someone knows the thread link, please post it. :) I'm thinking about getting my first humidor (and going to get one that's larger than I...
