    PA ban: My business was just notified...

    This sounds just about right for PA. I'm sure there's a perfectly valid reason for it that makes no sense whatsoever. :r I bet the Game Commission is in charge of all this.

    Vinotemp and RH

    The humidity drop occurs when the unit is cooling because the water vapor in the air condenses on the cooling plate's surface. Has nothing to do with the temperature of the air or that air's capacity to hold water. Once that water drips down the back and into the drain pan that you've now...

    Shilala's Beads

    I'd love to have you try them out. :tu You have to take care of them a lot differently, but it pretty much amounts to leaving them alone when you have nice tight storage. I know you'll enjoy them. :)

    How long to salt test??

    I use a mayo jar lid heaped full of salt and a gallon ziplock baggie and do about a half dozen hygros at a time. For my own interest I've watched (albeit loosely) to see how long it takes for the bag to reach 75 and stabilize. It takes about 15 minutes. I leave my hygros in for at least an hour...

    Cigar Smoking vs. Health Concerns

    For me, smoking a cigar is relaxing. If I couldn't enjoy it because I was concerned about my health, that'd negate the relaxation benefit and I'd find something else to do with myself. Odds are that whatever I choose as an alternative will be worse for me, because I'm not very bright. So I'm...

    Smoked my first Padilla today ... not impressed

    I've tried just about every Padilla imaginable. I enjoy the 68 and the Habano. I'm sitting on Hybrids, Capa Clara's, New and old Obsidians, new and old Achilles, a few 32's, a bunch of 68's and who knows what else. Aside from the Habanos, I doubt I'll smoke any of them. It's because of the "hit...

    Working from home

    I've been working from home for the last ten years or so. When I get tired of being home, I call and get a job. As soon as I get my back fixed I'm going to go build a powerhouse cause I'm bored out of my mind and I think I'd benefit from the frustration. :tu I enjoy work if I can trick myself...

    Vinotemp and RH

    Hey Doug, it's not a pressure change. It's vapor pressure. Water vapor exerts pressure. Has nothing to do with RH. It's is more of a "how much water is in the air" thing. The best way to give an example is to think about your house in the winter, because that's when the differences are so...

    Turning 30 in a couple weeks! What to smoke?

    I can remember my very first Padron 1926. It was #6 Maduro. When I smoked it I thought "Damn, I never imagined a cigar could be THIS GOOD!!!" Granted, it was at a time when everything was just right. Great company, great friends around, and a great big stupid smile on my face. It was perfect...

    Of the Opus X

    I think he meant me, George. :r I haven't smoked an Opus I like yet. Ordered 4 Perfection #4's from Rob the other day when I got some of the new LR's just to give it another go. I'm down to 2 now and haven't smoked one yet. I'm honestly hoping that I just end up giving away the other two. :D

    If you were to buy 1 box of cigars.... What do you suggest I buy for my 1st box?

    Man, I tell ya, you can't go wrong with a box of Sancho Panza Double Maduro Quixotes. Great cigar for around 40 bucks a box. It's a nice starter choice on the way to some nicer and more expensive smokes. Being a newb, you should really hit the Newbie Sampler Thread. Do a few trades, then try...

    Guilty pleasure of and evolving Newbie

    I keep a bunch of flavored cigars around. The Karmasutra Splash is always a hit with the ladies and they like the Eileen's dream, too. I keep Java's, Kahlua's, Moontrance, Honey Golds, Earth Nectars and Isla Del Sols among others. All the CAO Flavours line is nice. I had an Acid Wafe a few...

    Which Online Retailer Do You Order From?

    If you add cbid in with CI, most of my cigar purchases are through them. Then Taboo and occasionally Famous. That's for sheer numbers of cigars. Far more often I buy from the WTS board here. I should really just work out a CS Direct Deposit and have everyone send their cigars directly to me. :r

    Vinotemp and RH

    Vapor pressure, my brother. Vapor pressure. We aren't talking about weight. It's not what causes the transfer through the drain. RH is going to run as fast as it can in and out that hole. As your unit cycles and gathers water on the evaporator, the vapor pressure will drop in your vino and the...
