Nice, thanks Tubaman.

This is my first attempt at a review, I'm by no means a pro or afficiando, but here we go none the less. Thought I'd give this one a try tonight after a party we had for a friend. Ashton VSG Cabinet. Nice looking stick with a darker wrap. Started out a bit strong (could have been the coffee...

So the question still stands, do I have to worry about the essential oils? Is that why you double bag, in order to keep the freezer from drying out the sticks? Just a little clarification would be good. I have a chest freezer down stairs and will happily freeze my entire stock if it truly...

Howdy Kansas, warm winter welcome from MN. You'll like it here. :waving:

Ok, fine for the cello, but what if a box comes shrink wrapped? Do you remove that?

Been sick past 2 days, getting ready for party Saturday night, that sadly means we all wait til Sunday. Trust me, if I could get my ego stroked any sooner... I would. :halfgrinw

Thanks for the tip. Looks simple enough. Will get them up by Sunday.

Ok, so now that I have humidity mostly stable, I'm going to my cigar shop and getting most of my inventory. Big time excitement. Now I know a bunch of you requested pics, but where on here can I post them?:help: FYI - Remember, this is nothing fancy. Just turn the area under the basement...

So I was thinkg of replacing my humidors door with a glass door, sounds like that wouldn't be a good idea. Not enough insulating?

Welcome aboard.

Wow did I join the right forum. Thanks cvm4. That was a boat load of info.

I almost bought one of these. 3000 count 5000 count :yes:

I'd agree with Dub. No need to justify. It is a part of who you are and what you do. My wife thinks I'm nuts and can't wrap her brain around this whole collecting thing I've gotten into. But at the end the day she loves me, and knows it is what I've decided to do in my spare time. And SOOOO...

I got it!!! ... nope, that will cause a fight too.

You could tell her... well about if you said "Honey..." OK, wait how about this... Actually, I got nothing. :dunno:

So you freeze them for how long before they go into the humidor? What does the freezing to to the bug (crystalizes the internals to kill them I suppose) and more importantly what happens to the cigar and its "essential" oils. (I keep hearing about those). I am fascinated by this process.

Ok, so there seems to be WIDE spread debate, opinions, emotions, philosophies as to storage of cigars. It seems temp is almost more important than what RH (within 63-70 RH). I've seen a good range of numbers. Seems optimal at 65-70 RH and around 65-70 degrees. My question is this... what...

Haven't smoked a wide enough range to say yet. So far it's all good. Mainly purchased them for collecting. Figured I can sell off a few after some time to offset costs. (At least that's how I sold the idea to the wife). I am looking forward to diving a bit deeper into my collection. I...

Welcome from "newbie" to another. :welcome:
