The wife was having trouble getting her lap top to charge so I checked the wall socket with the multi-meter and it reads 103 volts across with another 17 volts to the ground. All the other wall sockets in the house other than the couple in that room are reading 120 volts. Lap top is not an...

I think it has a lot to do also with how much a cigar has been handled, if it was a single and handled a fair amount before it was set back to age, it will be less likely to plume than a cigar never taken from it's box.

Good call Doc, seems BS is what it seems to be. Here is the publication in whole, it does not prescribe cigar smoking as a safe alternative to any other tobacco. Read for yourselves. http://cancercontrol.cancer.gov/TCRB/monographs/9/m9_complete.PDF

Give your humidor time to stabalize before you put smokes in it though, your cigars are better off in a plastic bag for now than in a humidor that wet.

Welcome Aboard

Ignore it, it's bad advice and well documented to be so. I wrote a cigar primer a while back that you can find here. http://www.botl.org/community/forums/showthread.php?t=24701 I'm hardly an expert and others here will chime in with great advice, but you may find some helpful points in it.

Welcome aboard and I live in South Florida so we have some of the same issues. I tend to have problems with over humidification at times, if you want to dry out the sticks go get a tub of "Damp Rid" and leave it in your humidor until it drops to a reasonable level. You didn't say what your...

Fake Monte #3 :barf::barf::barf::barf::barf: Wow, I've had plenty of cigars that were not good, but this was bad, like smoked a couple of puffs and spent the next tem minutes trying to get the taste out of my mouth, I've had moldy cigars that weren't this bad. Eventualy had a dog rocket, but...

No house phone here, cell phones and use cable for internet.

good stuff there Wade, pics when you get er done please.

a little over 1000 which has me filled to the gills and I've promised myself not to get any more storage for at least a year.

The criminal side of a shooting is one thing, but the civil is another. Here is my advice to everyone, regardless of your state of residnece. Don't shoot people if you can avoid it, if you can't avoid it shout as loud as you can for any potential witnesses to hear that you want them to leave...

Congrats Gale

I keep inventory and I don't. I have a box of about 30-50 smokes not inventoried with an assortment of what I may want any given time. I also have an inventory I keep very accurate in two large humidors of about 1000 cigars. The grab box gets filled when it gets low and I adjust the inventory...

You can get Coke in the US with cane sugar ONCE per year. It's kosher for passover and will show up in Kosher Markets around March to April this year. Yes it tasts better than the regular mix.

Too many beads is the way to go and remember lots of surface area, so think shallow dish not glass to store them in. I like the mesh bags myself and I've seen stockings used more than once. As for a watter pillow put a damp paper towel or sponge in a ziplock and leave the zip lock open about...

Have you by chance started running your heater more and the outside air is sucking more moisture out of the same seal? What's going on outside the Humidor could be very relavent to what is going on inside of it. If it can't keep up you may want to add a better seal, like put your humidor in a...

Good luck Gale!

Happy Birthday!
