Hi new person, there are people that will be much better at talking to you about the beads and explaining how to "dry" some of them and set the humidity.
I'd like to welcome you to the nut house! There is a thread
HERE that you can introduce yourself to the members in.
There is also a thread for newbies to learn how to trade and pack cigars for shipping while getting trading rating on the boards, it's a fun way to interact with some of the established members and try some new smokes.
You can find that thread
HERE.
Again, welcome to the Asylum!
