mjdx88 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 F&UCK you guys! Lol I thought I had just gotten away from cigar smoking..... I feel the nice to go pick up some sticks now....Gurhka's are always good even the cheaper ones I have found them for pretty cheap...$5 a stick? my go to smoke has been and always been either a Excalibur III or a Excalibur Dark Knight II another really cheap stick I have found is Flor De Olivia Maduros pretty cheap less than a buck a stick but I remember a good flavor and burn. By no means is it an Excalibur or even a Gurhka but pretty good for people on a budget. I have also found to really enjoy acids since I picked up hookah, its kinda like smoking a lightly flavored tombac.I gave up smoking cigars for the most part about 2 years ago when I picked up hookah, for a number of reasons. One I couldnt keep up with cigars and hookah at the same time, I had to make a choice. Also my gf doesnt like the thought of me smoking cigars but is cool with hookah....i dunno why but w/eFrom what it sounds JD, your cigars have dried a bit and not being stored in true spanish cedar has resulted in an unpleasant taste. Now not that they have to be in spanish cedar( there are 2 or 3 other woods that can be used) but that is the best. the only other really cheap option is to go with a coolador or a tuppador. Going with a fridgador is a litte more costly and if your just getting in to the hobby I suggest staying away from that idea its easier to get a few cheap humies. Here is one really cheap solution : http://www.famous-smoke.com/acrylic+humido...&Ne=1000041 look for one of these at bed, bath and beyond or a home goods store etc. Just your standard coffee bean container/sugar/etc shouldnt be more than 10 or so you could also always order from the site and then look for a humi stick they are about 10 bucks: http://www.famous-smoke.com/cigar+savor+dr...&Ne=1000135. Quick easy solution and you will always need more than one humi, this is great for traveling and going to a friends once you have your main humi ready. Check out this site: http://www.cigar.com/cs/forums/ and http://www.eotacforum.com/viewforum.php?f=143 some of the same guys post on both of these sites, they will be very helpful. cigar.com used to support the Eotac forum but then started there own so they broke off. hope this helps a bit,Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDHarding Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Well, I finally got my humidor in today. Wow.. it's a beautiful humidor. I was worried when you guys told me not to get one from ebay, but this one was $40, and it was the only one there of it's design, so I figured maybe it'll be better than the other junk there. It is! It's very nice. Sadly, I didn't get any of the humidifying solution with it, so now I gotta look around for that stuff. I rubbed some water onto the wood, and left a shotglass of water in it with the cigars. The hydrometer says it's at 60%, so.. I hear that's a good point, though 65 is supposedly better. It's already a bit humid in this house anyway. I'm just glad to get them outta that wine box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should just place a shot of distilled water in there until the humidity stays at 60-80% for 2 days. Then it's considered 'seasoned'. If it has a humidification device (usually a sponge in plastic), use only distilled water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDHarding Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 I just got this hygrometer off of ebay.. it was only $1. Big LCD display on it, shows both humidity and temp. Woot! It should fit right on the glass top of my humiditor so I can see the temp and humidity all the time. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...e=STRK:MEWNX:IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop open the humidifier and pour them in there?if you can find a womens stocking those work great..put the beads in there and tie it up so they dont spill out and spray them with the distilled water until they change..you can easily see which ones are wet which arnt..you want a 80/20 split..about 80% wet and leave the other 20% dry..doesnt have to be pin point accurate..i bought tubes for my humidor when i smoked cigars i got all my supplies from this site..this guy to the cigar world is what john is to the hookah industry http://www.heartfeltindustries.com/products.asp?cat=14 you can use the mesh bags or the tubes both work great so just pick the one that will take the least space in your humi so you have more room for cigars..but like i said if you have a stocking or pantyhose thats not in use cut it and make your own...
