    bottled water instead of distilled water?

    Reviving old cigars

    Thats the long part of the story, it has to do with a divorce, a long child custody battle, and the deep depression he went into after. One thing I forgot to mention is that when I recieved them, they were not brittle dry and they did still have an oily sheen to them. Now, looking at them...

    Reviving old cigars

    To make a long story short, a buddy of mine gave me a humidor FULL of cigars that he let sit for about 6 months with no humidifier. Over the last four months I have been slowly trying to bring them back by puting them in a 65% humi. I smoked a couple this week and they arent bad, the wrappers...

    Problem with Humidors...

    I used to arrange my humidors so I could see as many bands as possible, so I would know what I had. Now I put the longer sticks on one side, the shorter sticks on the other side and usually forget whats there.

    Excalibur Legend Robusto

    Ive had a fiver of these in my humi for about 2 weeks, I couldnt wait any longer. First of all, this cigar looked good, slightly toothy, small veins, a nice even color and an oily sheen. It was firm and heavy for a Robusto. The pre light aroma was faint and cedary. After lighting you get a...
