Re: Got my A$$ kicked by a......

I didn't see it coming, but a Perdomo 826 Slow-Aged Muduro Churchill I had on my lunch break earlier in the week did me in for the rest of the work day. I hadn't eaten in about 18 hours and drew...

Re: Traditional humidifier with Boveda for regulation?

That makes sense. I will need to see what RH the humi holds at (without cigars, then with) using whatever RH source I choose before possibly adding the Boveda. I'm hoping the hygrometer will show...

Traditional humidifier with Boveda for regulation?

For the last month or so I've had only a small ~15 stick tupperdor that has served me well. So far I've maintained Rh with a Boveda 72% pack (only RH the B&M had) and trusted it without a...

Re: Perdomo Fresco Maduro vs. 826 Slow Aged Maduro

I got the Maduro in Churchill and the Natural in Toro. What was it in particular that you don't like about the Natural? In general I seem to like Maduro flavor better, but prefer...

Re: Anyone ever do this... make me feel better.

Along a similar line, I'm sure plenty of us here have had bad Thursdays once they realized how much they bought on Cigarbid when they were "bidding low, not expecting to win anything". I had a $40...

Re: Pairing cigars and a beverage... with a twist.

Root Beer, Dr. Pepper, and Gingerale are my favorites. As far as Root Beer goes, I usually like something with a bit of bite in general, but I'm actually finding a creamier Root Beer with more...

Re: Perdomo Fresco Maduro vs. 826 Slow Aged Maduro
