I got one for a best man gift a few years ago but I never really used it and it looks pretty crappy. How are you keeping your stuff fresh? This is my main one. Rated for 100, but no way. I'd say 70 to 80 depending on sizes. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OJPMBP4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have a smaller one I picked up first for about $25. I use Xikar beads with their PG solution for humidity. I learned much patience getting one of these to hold the proper humidity. You really need a good humidor to have room to age them.

Google how to season a humidor, and spend the money for a Cigar Oasis. Worth every penny. I am not sure what condition the one you have is in, but it might be salvageable.

I am not sure what condition the one you have is in, but it might be salvageable. I looked at those, but until you get to a certain size I think they take up to much room in the humidor. I will probably one day end up with an end table size humidor. I will get one for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one, I just keep it hydrated and never worry about it. Does a great job keeping a level humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through a couple of humidifiers and this one works the best for me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VFS3V2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I got a fairly cheap humidor a few years ago, I tinkered with it but could never get it right. I smoke a couple cigars a month, usually a padron maduro for $8 which i then smoke that day. I imagine as I get older I might turn greater attention to detail of smoking a fine cigar but for now, the occasional cigar is pretty nice.

Took me about 2 weeks to get mine close to stable and correct RH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought a new house last week so im going to get a decent humidor once I settle in and will read through this thread in detail to get ideas. I have been renting for the past 4 years or so and found that I enjoy a cigar much more when im smoking it on my own deck vs a rental. But yeah, i just couldnt get the humidor set right. This time i will get a better one and spend more attention to detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Ok, found something today that makes me think that my Cohibas were not fakes afterall. Here is the official Cigar Afficianado "Cigar of the Week" review that was on Instagram today. Here is there cigar with band....it was pointed out earlier that mine may have been a fake because of band, and the third row of squares is cut off by the box with Cohiba. Zoomed in.... Here is mine...looks identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best part about this year: Firepit, carafe of coffee, a nice cigar, and not caring about this election. Even the wife has joined me with one of her own now and again.

Nowhere to smoke indoors so I need to smoke on the patio of my apartment in the smoking area while it's still reasonably decent outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsburySkinsFan Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Here's what I've been up to the last couple months: Acid (infused cigar) not a fan Punch: had a couple Punch sticks, middle of the road for the most part. Romeo Y Julieta: A couple of these are good, average smokes. This one had construction issues, but it finished without falling apart. Gurkha: only one of these so far, terrible construction, fought it the whole time. By the end the entire wrapper came off. Arturo Fuente: winner every time. Partagas: my first of these, will be returning. Brick House 6x60 Mighty Mighty....thank you suh may I have sum moah? Winner winner chicken dinner! Padilla: good stick, not going to stock up on them but worth the time. Oliva Serie V: bought a 5 piece sampler and not regretting that decision at all. Montecristo (Dominican): smooth and creamy...yup yup yup Tabak Especial: nice smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo#44 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 If you like the Le Bijou 1922 (and I do), check this one out: https://www.famous-smoke.com/brand/flor+de+las+antillas+cigars It's close and much cheaper. Also give the Tatuaje Conoju 2012 and the Oliva Serie V Melanio a try. Both are $12-14 a stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
