Cigar Lovers at the Huddle?

I used to keep a humidor but kept ruining nice cigars.

Cubans are revered but to strong for me.

Love a Macanudo

Still buy Cigar Aficionado.

At a wedding a few weeks ago they had a guy hand rolling cigars for the guests. I got a few, damn fine cigars.

those without a humidor...how do you store your cigars to keep them fresh? I've got a box of Romeo and Juliets and don't have a humidor, so the box is sealed in a cupboard...I want to have one...but don't want the rest of them to dry out, you know!!!

You can store them for a couple of weeks in a plastic zip-loc bag. Go to the cigar store (tinderbos, Outland, etc) and purchase one of the humitity patches. But one for a 72% humidity and throw it in the bag. Should keep them nice for a few weeks.

Any longer than that, and you need a small humidor.

Huh?

Huh?

Either over humidified or let them dry out. basically didn't maintain them properly.

Now I have a wine fridge where you just set the temp and walk away for 10 years

Gotcha. Yeah, don't waste your time with a piece of poo humidor. Gonna have to spend some money and get a good one or you're wasting time and money. I dropped $100 on mine. It's a beautiful spanish cedar with a gorgeous stain and finish... holds 85 sticks and has never failed me once!

I am fond of "Lewinski's". You have to finish making them yourself and the taste is familiar. I beleive the recipe is Southern....
