Fair enough. However, the concept of 'torture is torture is torture' is one that is fairly heavily debated. Certainly others have differing opinions from yours on that matter and seeing degrees where you do not could be lead to believe that you were missing facts. Either way, I'm getting...

Nice review. This is a favorite of mine. I went through the 10 count box I had wayyyyyyyy to quickly. A great size and great flavor.

Very cool!

I don't see any other really good options besides the winecooler in your situation. You could go with a cooled and insulated cabinet humidir (Avallo) but that sounds like it might not fit your situation best at this time. As to the bead question, check out Heartfelt's website, there should be a...

Welcome, Lee! Settle in and enjoy yourself.

Nice job!

Hope it's been a great day!

Uh-uh, brother. No bowing. Especially not from someone like yourself who's served our country. I'm not worthy of that. :thumbsup:

If it always reads the same as your Xikar then you are probably good, but I'm betting that what you read is that you shouldn't Salt Test it to calibrate, right? The Boveda pack won't hurt the Caliber in any way. All you are doing is putting it into a controlled environment where you are...

It depends on the vendor, but yes, I've seen this. It's not ideal, but I wouldn't worry too much. Just get them in a good environment and leave them be for a few weeks.

Hmmm...I'll have to let some other brothers chime in on this. Have you looked at the thread titled "Winecooler 101"? If not, be sure to check it out, it is chock full of awesome information, and it looks like you have a similar cooler. I have an older condenser model and my drain is at the...

Most likely you don't need to charge them. What beads are you using, Heartfelt or HCM/Shilala? If Heartfelt, check them to see what percentage of the beads are white versus clear. You want about 70-75% clear. Give them a chance to stabilize everything and see how it works out. 63-65 is not...

LS, welcome aboard. The issue you are probably dealing with is the same one I have in my coolerdor down here in Florida. Mine's a condenser-type, so it's more pronounced, but the issue is that the warmer air is at the top of the cooler and the colder air is at the bottom. Basically, the...

I have a couple of comments on this topic. First of all, I understand where Bill is coming from. And as someone else has mentioned, there are quite a few 'FOGs' who either no longer visit or don't post nearly as much as they used to. And I don't say this to brag, but I've been around BOTL for...

I don't want this to turn into a whole long drawn out discussion as there are plenty of those already on the site and elsewhere, but the above statement is false. Heartfelt beads are not exactly the same as the kitty litter silica beads. They are treated so as to have a specific RH "set...

:thumbsup: Hope it's a great one!

Sadly, we really do have trouble keeping these types of discussions from back and forth, don't we? Farani, please note that even though "ignorant" has become an insult used by the...uh...ignorant, it simply means that someone believes you are lacking in knowledge on a particular issue. It's...

Happy Birthday! Glad we could help.

Don't have a link as I haven't gone looking, but just heard the radio dude say that they've already made a statement that this is a fake and that while they do have pictures to distribute to those that matter, the shot to the side of the head did unpleasantant things to the rest of his face, so...
