It is nice that he went to the trouble to spell it all out and post pictures.

But the fact that, that 'blog', not to mention all of his other 'blogs' are owned and operated in a thinly guised form to promote commercial interests by the same people behind Avallo, CigarSolutions and every other webiste listed under the sub heading 'blogroll' without being totally upfront about it is a shame.

Not trying to be an a*shat, but why does it matter?

An easier solution is the Tupperware and single, 3 or 5-finger cigar bags. Properly humidified cigars will keep at least a week without any other humdification device needed. Trays and cedar are over-kill

I agree.
A positive sealing container will keep humidified cigars for a couple weeks,at least.
I haven't bothered with water pillows or similar things in years.

If bestbuy ran a blog reviewing electronics and posting a link to their website for every item on their website would that matter? A blog can and is seen by many as a type of journalism.

A news agency would disclose up front it's relationship, like NBC does with anything about GE products.

Let me put it this way, if this blog is done the same but just a link at cigarsolutions.com no problem it is cigarsolutions.com's blog and it would be plainly obvious why they review the things they do. But that isn't the case. They hide under a different url and thinly disquise who they are and the reason for their reviews, ie all comercial interest.

Simply put I find issue with any blog that doesn't disclose who they really are, who they are owned by, if at all, and their motivation.

Let's make it a threesome than, I don't see what the big issue is here ....Ron was merely trying to provide a cost effective option....take it or leave it!
