    Tupperdor

    I bought my first piece of tupperware to get started on this, a 1.5 gallon Rubbermaid container- http://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-7J76-Rectangle-Storage-Container/dp/B000WEKLJE/ref=pd_sim_hg_5 I'm too cheap at the moment to buy beads, can I just throw in a couple of Boveda packets I have when...

    Viewing Ring Gauge reasons

    How exactly do I find the reasons for others giving me an RG bump? I knew at one point, or at least stumbled upon them, but now I'm completely unsure. Thanks! Kegan :cb

    Cigars taste a bit dry in my Caddy?

    I've got a slew of cigars gifted to me comfortably resting in my Cigar Caddy. The first batch rested for a month or two if I recall, and so I gave them another month at 69 degrees against a Boveda packet. Today I lit up a Padron, and it *seemed* to smoke dry; that is, I'm not sure if it was or...

    I Can Smell The Moisture

    I've got five cigars in a Caddy with my 69 degree Boveda packet. All of them are firmer than they were but one of them smoked fine, so I'm not worried. However, they smell like they've been wet; I can smell the water on/in them from the packet; is this normal or OK? Thanks Kegan :cb

    Benefits of a ClubStogie Membership

    I am seriously considering donating to the site, since I feel so at home here amongst you all; this is proof that Darwinism was right, eh? :ss However, since I have a fairly important surgical procedure coming up, I really need to watch my budget for awhile and spend thriftily. What are the...

    Impressions on Devil's Weed

    Recently I was gifted a handful of cigars by a very generous BOTL, among them a Molina Devil's Weed Corona/Corona Gorda. Being a new cigar smoker, for the most part, I decided to give it a try. It had been in the individual's humi for about two months I believe, and I let it rest in mine for two...

    Padilla Obsidian cigar question

    This may be a funny question, but I need to ask :) I found a grain of black pepper on my bedspread, and it's either from dinner or my Obsidian: Do these cigars contain actual granules of pepper inside the tobacco? I've heard they're spicy, but I'm not sure I could believe that without...

    Cigar Caddy closure

    So I close the lid, I hear the whoosh every time. It feels cooler inside, thanks to the Boveda packet. Yet, when I close the lid, and the bottom edge of the lid meets the top edge of the box, it appears uneven; there's a slight gap. In the gap, it feels like plastic, so it must still be sealed...

    What's unofficially in my first humi

    Padilla Obsidian 2006 SE...I think it's more recent, but it smells amazing! Diablo Gran Fuego...what a shame these are discontinued, I think I'll like it quite a bit Felipe Power 15th Anniversary Robusto...Not a bad looking smoke, hopefully the humi draws it out to greatness Padron (2000...

    Do they still make the Diablo line of cigars?

    I read that Famous picked up the line as an exclusive, and this sounds like a cigar I would enjoy. I only have one in my possession, so I'm hoping if I like it, I can ensure a supply. Kegan :cb

    Frequency of opening humidor in cooler temperature

    I have a brand-new humidor, with brand-new cigars to match lol. I'm using a Cigar Caddy and a Boveda packet, and I let everything settle up for a day or two inside, since I'm worried about the proper environment, that sort of thing. It's a little cooler in my room, so I keep opening and closing...

    Cigar Caddy/Boveda Question

    I have a Caddy in my bedroom with a packet in it at 69 degrees. During the day, it gets warmer than that; is my humi safe anyway? I know they're airtight, and I closed the purge valve to maintain freshness, or try to at least. I don't really have anywhere cooler in my room to place it, and I...

    Stepping carefully down the slope

    Well, the deed is done. I just placed my first humidor cigar into my first humidor, with my first Boveda packet alongside. I own an 18-count Cigar Caddy...yes, I should've gone bigger. The cigar is a free MC Classic I received from Altadis just today. I smoked a Classic and a White last week-...

    Boveda Packet Durability

    I have a little problem one of you might be able to fix. I bought a Boveda packet for humidity since I ordered a new Cigar Caddy, but the Caddy came with one of the same degree. Is it safe to set one aside while I'm using the other since I only need one, or will it still go dry even if it's...

    Cigar Solutions website closed/No humi for Kegan

    I placed an order last Friday or Saturday for my Cigar Caddy and a few other supplies. Just now, I logged onto the Cigar Solutions website and got a message that the owner's on vacation. I never received a confirmation email or anything, letting me know if my order shipped beforehand; should I...

    A step closer to the edge

    I finally did it this morning, went online and bought an 18-stick Cigar Caddy, foam trays, 69% Broveda packet, and a cheap Credo cutter from cigarsolutions.com Total came to $75 more or less; I justified it by saying it was relatively cheap and if I don't like this potentially wallet-draining...

    Temporary/Low-budget humidor

    I'm slated to get around 20 cigars from three different members come the first week of September. Since I'll be in a dorm room, would it be cheaper to build a tupperdor, using a Puckifier, or to place the smokes in Humid-paks? I'm also trying to factor in space, and I think the bags are...

    Think ya could fool 'em?

    I've heard you people, other people, hell *lots* of people shout high the praises of that ever-so-forbidden leaf from the ISOM. My question to you fine folks then, is this: understanding fully that there aren't many things that can ever replace an original jewel (the Cuban cigar), have any of...

    Ordering cigars online

    So here's where I stand. I'm slated to start my sophomore year of college this coming August, and I just turned 19. I wanted to celebrate turning 18 with a good cigar, something light, but I missed that deadline :) I have a slight case of cerebral palsy, so I don't yet have a license; as a...
