Re: Liga Privadas selling for almost $20

Cigars are a treat given their price tag, I'm careful about what I buy and only buy from auctions sites, and then only if I can save at least $20.00 less than buying them at discount. Although my...

Re: What cigar did you smoke today VI?

Avo Heritage Lancero

Favorably compares to the Island cigars I've smoked, medium flavor and body, spicy, little pepper, finely complex, not a flavor bomb, elegant restraint.

Humidity: Seasonal Change of rH

Hi All,

When the humidity went down in late fall, with colder temperatures, the rH in my boxes fell below 60, my minimum rH. I use bead cylinders and began spritzing them everyday for five days,...

Re: Humidity Problem

A new humidor I bought has the opposite problem than what I've described above. Instead of not holding humidity, its seal is so tight that I have to push the lid down to close the lid. It stops with...

Re: Rollin' my own......

Throw $150.00 at it and you could buy pounds of tobacco and the necessary tools. Hmm. . .easy to spend the same on a box. Be willing to work and study a bit and you could probably roll a box for...

Re: Outgassing: Ramon Bueso: Genesis, The Project cigars

It's not humidity/air vapor as the hygrometer is steady. I'm thinking that the tobacco in the cigars was incompletely fermented and that they are throwing off gas as this fermentation completes. I've...

Outgassing: Ramon Bueso: Genesis, The Project cigars

I got a 5er of these cigars last week, and over the weekend and still occurring now, it appears that they are putting out quite a bit of gas. I "burp" the container 3 or 4 times daily. The other...

Re: Hydrating Tobacco

I like the towel over the bowl filled with the tobacco idea. Slow, gentle but produces the goods. I used to spread the tobacco out on a cookie sheet and spritz it, but estimating and controlling the...

Re: D.G.T. - the winter smoke

There are many ideas about DGT, but if I decide I can't finish the bowl I have no qualms about putting the pipe down and picking it up later. I'll DGT anything, and anything I DGT generally gets...

Barling Pre-trans Stem Replacement

I bought this pipe knowing I might have to get a stem replacement; as it turns out the tenon is short, and it does.

I bought it from Marty Pulvers, and on my telling him that I meant to get a 2nd...

Re: Whats in your bowl?

I felt that way about a tin I smoked ~November. But then I smoked Pease "Gaslight," which is so good I would have to classify it as belonging in the stratosphere with 3Nuns made by Imperial, which is...

Re: Humidity Problem

I just checked the lid seal with a business card, just before finding bobarian's recommend, and even with its added thickness found suspect places maybe amounting to 8 or 9" in total. You're...

Re: Humidity Problem

Retracing my steps with the Bourbon St humidor. It measures 18 X 11 X 7 inches or 1400 cubic inches, and I have two Heartfelt bead cylinders in it, each good to regulate rH for up to 2000 cubic...

Re: A specific aging question.

Cello on for protection but cut off flush with the head or foot to allow more O2 contact.

Re: Whats your favorite La Gloria Cubana?

I feel the Reserva Figurado Las Flechas is an awesome cigar. It has everything, power, taste, complexity, balance and I would even say, grace, not that I can justify the last word, not that saying it...

Re: Whats your favorite La Gloria Cubana?

Bought a box of LGC Reserva Figurados. I've only smoked one but the first was remarkable for the nuclear pepper blast at the start, certainly the strongest pepper I've ever tasted, which toned down...

Re: Humidity Problem

Again, I have two humidors, the larger made by Bourbon St, solid and well-made. All I had to do to bring it online was seasoning. The second smaller humidor has been much harder to make ready,...
