Holy Textbook Batman! I target 62-63% but don't fret over a little variation now and then. Two of the plugged cigars I had were Forbidden Xs that were smoked from and in a shop. I'm convinced the high humidity of the shop (which I didn't check on the day but usually is right around 70%) had...

great idea - what a place to hang out!

Really bummed i missed this - had to fly out last minute so couldn't make it. If the next is in July or October I am going to try to make it!

can you give the GPS voice some manners?

I hand picked each piece of KL that went in my humi. Only picked the large pieces, so no dust.

Thanks for posting the link. I stop by Suckling's site most days to see what he has put up - sadly most of it is hard-to-pronounce wine coverage. Ryan summed up what I would've posted, so thanks for saving me the time!

May 4 should be a go for me subject to my keeper's approval (being a kept man is hard sometimes...)

Good for him - way to roll!

A friend is heading to San Juan, Puerto Rico, for two days. Staying at the Ritz but should be heading into Old San Juan for dinner. I remember a BOTL had asked about a particular custom roll in Puerto Rico, see thread here...

would love to make this if it gets put on the calendar, especially since I'll be living there now!

looks sharp... looking forward to the photo of the finished work!

Finalizing the process but it looks like I'll be moving out to Manhattan Beach. First step post-move will be buying a beach cruiser. Second step is a cigar lounge. Any of the SoCal BOTLs have recommendations for places to enjoy a cigar - either outside in an open space, patio, or at a...

Well done! I just keep a humi in the various homes I own and vacation at:

A prior house I bought had one installed. A few thoughts: - It had a thicker-than-normal base - poured deeper than the patio. Not sure if that was necessary but that is how it was set up. - There was regulation on where the wire had to be run for home-inspection / city-compliance...

I am SHOCKED that something I put on the forum stuck! Take that, those who shun scientific research and its application to cigars! That said, I plan to do what exactly what Chuck said:

the Bolivar Libertadores is a winner in my book

Finally got around to smoking one of these too... and this review may be one of the first where I agree with almost every part of it. Flaky ash - ashed in 1" or less increments, but a solid burn. You mentioned molasses, I identified that as caramel. Definite chocolate notes, clipping the cap...

Finally got around to burning one... Short notes... the cigar had a couple flashes of brilliance, but generally speaking it wasn't quite up to expectations. A decent cigar. Not a huge fan of the vitola/size, but that aside, I'm left hoping that age helps bring out the bright spots more - I...

Agree. The only update HSA got right was the Upmann band, but even the old one was a winner. Fakes will always be an issue - I'm not sure I would yet doubt the capabilities of those with the aspiration for a quick buck.

I'm plenty behind on my smoking this year but still updating my sheet. How are things progressing with others? Any centralized tracking/reports set up yet? JFire, are you sleeping at all?
