What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

[jamespowers]

My Father toro tonight with McClelland's Islay.

So, what do you think of the Islay?

Do you like the regular my father or the le bijou better?

Litto Gomez small batch in the hammock

I think you're really trying to rub that hammock in now. When all I have to deal with is snow, you're living it up there in the sun!!

Snow is nice! To visit!
I have half a mind to throw the hammock in the truck and head to the beach lol!

This small batch is a good cigar but not any better than the LFD Double Ligero or Coronado.

Keep it up....

:rofl:
I know what you mean. It may be sunny here but it isn't 85 degrees.:eusa_doh:

It isn't even that. Snow is Evil. Just like those cheap, nasty Cuban Delights that someone gave me. PU!

Just found that my new humidor isn't working. Had it and seasoned it for about two days now and my cigars are dried out in it. I'm getting pissed!!

Sounds like the wood is robbing the cigars of the moisture in there. Check the seal and make sure it is closing tightly. What kind of humidifier element are you using?

 

[ecorrigan]

It's just a little black, round humidifier that came with it. It's a little 50-stick humidor that I bought to go on my desk!

 

[indycop]

A better humidifier will fix that

What brand should I look for??

If you seasoned it correctly then this is what you did.
There are so many out there it just depends. I have heard good things about the beads, cigar oasis and a host of other systems. Choose what works for you.

HOLY CRAP!! That's way different than what my instructions told me to do/not to do. My instructions did say: "Do not saturate the interior of your humidor with water." But that's about it. My hygrometer is already showing better results after doing what was shown in the video, rather than what was said in my instructions!

Well they meant that you don't need to get the humidor interior over wet(soak it). Just rubbing it down with distilled water and letting it sit overnight with a wet cloth in it overnight will do wonders.

 

[ecorrigan]

My instructions said that I should put a shotglass full of distilled water in the center and let it sit overnight. I had never heard of such a method. I did it anyways. Now I'm using the method in the video and it seems to be working better already!

That method would take forever with just a shotglass. I have heard that you could do it with a CigarOasisXL but that takes four days for it to get the humidity up in the humidor to the point that you can put cigars in it. I suppose they worry that dampening the humidor inside might stain the wood but if it doesn't humidify worth a darn then what is the difference?

 

[ecorrigan]

The Hygrometer has already come up about 20-points since I've used this new method!! It was at 60 and now it's showing 80% right now!!
