Black Friday early deal. Not sure about the entubados, I rarely if ever get those, should I open the tubes and let them rest in the humidor that way? Or...?
I'll smoke one straight off, I usually do, and see where they are. It just seems like the tubes would be great for travel.
I love having extra tubes on hand. I immediately take them off the cigars when I get them, and then use them for various random non cigar related things.
Re: Coffee
I've never tried one but they have a great reputation. Some people suggest manually stirring the grounds for better extraction if that's the model where the coffee comes out of a single hole instead of a showerhead.

I'm very happy for you, Edward.
I came upstairs for a smoke with my pal Nathan and thought I was transported to another dimension. When I finished my last cigar at 10:30 last night and forgot to turn off the space heater and it was like stepping into the Sahara.

I have a neighbor down the alley, Helga; she's 71 and has been a bit of a ditz (but a lovely person) for the 30+ years I've known her. I collect for, and coordinate the snow plowing contractor, and Helga wanted to drop off her $18 and buy a lb. of beans. I told here to stop over around noon today and she could watch me roast it for her. She still wasn't here at 1:10 and I was starting to wonder. She finally arrived and helped me realize that the clock in my roasting area was still set to DST. Hah, jokes on you, buster. A half hour before Helga showed up I heard a loud banging on my door, which was weird because I had already unlocked it so she could let herself in. When I got upstairs it dawned on me that the pounding was coming from my front door, and there stood two MKE firemen who smelled my roasting and when they saw the smoke bellowing from the basement window they were afraid something bad was happening. I apologized for wasting their time; I really need to make a sign for each door that says the smoke is intentional and what's producing it. This makes the 4th or 5th time in the 15 years using my roaster that the smoke/smell has alarmed someone to the point they're banging on my door.
As the firemen were about to leave I thought about telling them I have a homemade crematorium in my basement and that's how I get rid of my victims. But I thought better not... nobody really needs to know, especially not a govt. employee.Where is Helga right now, Peter?
Did you notice he never said Helga left...... 🧐

Diesel Uncut while cutting up a pile of uncut logs. Had to hire an arborist to take down a handful of large trees threatening the buildings.
Re: Drew Estate Liga Privada No.9 Belicoso ... Don't like em!
A glance at the bright green fields of monoculture spotless and big free tobacco tells you the plants have been chemically protected from insects and heavily fertilized. Add to that the fungicides used in the curing barns and you discover why no maker claims their cigars are "organic". As for Drew Estate adding other stuff I don't know. Craig Tarler at C&D once sent me a lb of the fungicides he used on all the blends of pipe tobacco when I asked him how to keep the box-pressed plugs I was trying to make kept getting moldy.

When you’re smoking a cigar and can see two very distinct burn lines and two different colors of smoke coming from the foot something isn’t right.
