90% humidity for great cigars?

Smoked said:
I always like to stop off at different liquor stores in my town to see if anyone is selling cigars. I have found a few but none that take care of the cigars that they have. Today was the worst though. I went in to a liquor store today and found a huge humidor full of really great cigars at some really awesome prices. Some were actually half the price of the place that I usually go to. I see an analog hygrometer that reads 90% so I ask the guy if he monitors the humidity and he says, "I just fill it with water every day". I feel the cigars and they actually feel spongy. We are talking cigars like Acid, Cohiba, Don Tomas, etc. I was tempted to buy some and just keep them in the humi for a while but I could not bring myself to do it. Would that work or are they toast? I told the guy that he needed to keep them at 70% and that that monitoring the humidity was important. He seemed a bit pissed that I told him this. He probably took it as me telling him how to run his company. What would you do? I want to take my digital in there to check the humidity.

Really it's not worth it. There is a reason why his cigars are so much cheaper, and this is it. Stick with the B&M that takes care of their stock, because they'll end up taking care of you too at some point.

Sometimes saving a buck here and there just isn't worth the hassle it brings.

I am just going to take my digital down there and if he has a problem with it I will explain how much the cigars are worth "vs" how much it costs to take care of them. In reality he should be kissing my ass.

I am afraid that I do not understand your inappropriate response and quite frankly I am very offended by it. Your display of violence towards me is totally not cool and I now find myself in fear for my own well being. Please refrain from further displays of extreme violence and thoughts of assaulting me. I am a very sensitive person that requires very delicate hands. If you feel that threatening people is appropriate then that is your business but I do not appreciate it one bit. I also hope that anyone that reads this has reached this point to realize that I am totally joking and a bit intoxicated. HA! Now that was funny.

Careful that the forum police don't pull you over and issue you an SWI (Surfing While Intoxicated). :p

Buy one and try it.

No problems, then I would continue to buy from him as along as you inspect your purchases.

And its just me, but I can understand why a shop owner might take offense if he were confronted directly. Tact could go a long way.......
