BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Hydrometer, same as...
HYGROMETER! Common mistake. Save yourself some heartache, go to www.cigarsolutions.com or www.cigarmony.com and pick up one of the self-adjustable hygrometers they offer along with a Boveda One-Step Calibration Kit. I know you are trying to go budget as much as possible here, but you need the... -
What If/Should it be done?
:thumbsup: to the first part of your post. Well put. As to the second part...so long as they don't stop producing puros as they do now. I think I would cry for a year! -
Wireless Remote Hygrometers
I'm still using the one I picked up years ago. Don't remember the brand, but it was either Oregon Scientific or something from Radio Shack...I had two at one point. Works fine, and on my last calibration two of them were spot on with one being 3-4 points high. I love them for being able to... -
2011 Camaro Convertible vs 2010 Corvette Coupe
Yep. My one disappointment is that it I a soft top. I have one now, but that is because I couldn't swing the price tag for a vert hard top when I was buying.- Jwrussell

What If/Should it be done?
The embargo needs to end. There are no good reasons for it remaining, and the absolute worst is to keep the price of certain cigars down. -
Big homebrew bottling day
Wow. I love stouts and that just sounds amazing!!!! -
Humidor Questions
Damn, I had no idea. Especially about the recharging deal! Of course, I'm guessing they really don't want to advertise that! :wink: It's really a shame they had to dumb down their advertising so much. The main reason I don't use them is that I didn't want to be replacing them constantly. -
2011 Camaro Convertible vs 2010 Corvette Coupe
The new Camaro just makes me freaking drool. I do like the current Vet probably more than I have in a long time, but there is just something about the Camaro. If I were in the market, it would be at the top of the list (unless I could swing a Porsche, hehe).- Jwrussell

Cheap cabinet options
If you are really cheap, why not just go with a coolerdor? -
Humidor Questions
What he said! Ron, I had no idea a Boveda would last that long. That assumes regularly getting in to the container for cigars? I ask, because according to the Boveda website they say they last about 2 months in the average humidor. -
Humidor Questions
Eh. So long as the RH and Temp are consistent and in the right range, there should be no reason a travel humidor (that seals tightly) would be any different than a tupper-dor or cooler-dor in that aspect. The Cedar in humidors helps to keep the RH consistent because it is itself hygroscopic to... -
Seasoning Humidor
Yeah, that can be an issue when using the tubes. You can play it by ear. Just pay attention to the RH. If once you put them in the RH pegs at higher than 65% and stays there you may have too many beads saturated to be able to pull the excess. Easiest way to deal with this is a bowl of some... -
Seasoning Humidor
Sounds good. Keep in mind that if everything is stable at 65% and your Humidor is reading higher when you put everything in that the beads will need time to pull out excess humidity. Unless you let the humidity drop to close to 65% (as Dprice mentions above) you need to be sure that your beads... -

Pulled over while carrying?
I would question the bolded part, depending on what you are talking about. "Priors" would most likely remove the possibility of having said permit, no?- Jwrussell

Humidor Questions
As you say, doesn't have to be a rocket to be cheap. As to converting? I don't worry about that unless someone shows interest. Heck, my first cigar was probably a swisher sweet for cryin' out loud! And early on I smoked plenty of Macanudos (hate to admit it, but it's so). Plenty of good... -
Humidor Questions
True to some extent, J, but it would have to be a pretty sizable humidor to support the adding of empty cigar boxes. That, and having some yard 'gars around to offer to occasional smokers and those who just want to share a cigar to be social is not the worst of ideas. Still, if I were to do... -

Humidor Questions
There are NUMEROUS inexpensive (read CHEAP) options to store your cigars. Anything from tupperware (or similiar non-brand name stuff) to Coolers (think igloo or other large drink/marine coolers). Just getting started and being on a tight budget, get yourself a nice tupperware container (again...
