I have to agree with the bad hygrometer camp. Having a good hygrometer that you can depend on the reading is a necessity. I also use the 65% beads from Heartfelt and they hold somewhere between 63-67% in 8 different coolerdors/tupperdors. I used the amount of beads recommended on their web...

I also had a couple of xikars before I bought a palio, and one of the xikars had the internal spring break. It was a silver one with the composite body. I sent it back to xikar with a note saying I wish I had bought one with the metal frame because hopefully it would be stronger than the one I...

My own opinion, for what it is worth: Incredibly overpriced for the quality.........Make a crappy cigar, call it limited and price it in the stratosphere and make a lot of money.....Again just my opinion, but there are much better cigars for a 1/4 of the price.

Pailo, can't go wrong.....clean cut EVERY time. Had mine almost a year and I smoke on average 2-3 cigars a day - and it cuts as good as the day I bought it.

And the slide begins to pick up speed..........

Welcome to CS and glad you have your humidity stabilized. I also belong to the "beads are best crowd" If you have any further problems, I would sincerely recommend getting some 65% beads form Heartfelt. They also sell the hygrometer calibration bags. This method is by far the best I have...

:tpd:

I have experienced it but it has been rare for me. For me the test is if the same cigar from the same box/fiver does it again than it's the stick.....more times than not it has been my own taste buds, which I chalk up to something I ate/drank or maybe some meds I may be on. Just my :2

Depends on the stick, but generally speaking the last 1/3 to the nub.

The day will come that I'll vote for a Democrat before I would pay $50.00 for a single cigar....ANY CIGAR.

My position after years of smoking. If it taste like s..t, no matter what the cost then I'm canning it. I ended up with a lot of cigars early in my career that never was smoked because they were purchased under the premise "this is a pretty good stick for the price", And then they just take...

Accept it and throw it away when you get home. Say: Thanks for the stick, but I really had my heart set on smoking ________this today.

I have enjoyed a lot of RPs, but the R4 Maduro, was probably the one I liked the least.

The CAO Anniversary is the best representation of the wrapper, IMHO.

Thanks for the review.....they are VERY STRONG cigars, but also very flavorful. I like the DL Chisel Maduro even better.

Once you smoke at 65%, you will never go back to 70%

Since converting to beads in my passive humidors (cooledors) I will never use anything else. As trouble free as it gets. I use the 65% beads in the plastic tubes from Heartfelt. They hold a rock solid 65%. I calibrate my hygrometers every 3 months and it is just a worry free operation...

You are welcome.....hope you enjoy it! Mark

I always just used cold, but I probably would not use hot only because it may cause a deterioration of the media. The bleach is just as effective in cold water. Just my :2 Good luck, I hope it takes care of your problem. Let us know. Mark

Thanks to all of you for participating in the group buy on the baggies. Everybody paid promptly and communication was great! Par for course for the quality BOTL here at CS. Mark
