Literally every planet in the solar system (maybe not mercury?) and every galaxy in the universe has oxygen. Am I missing the joke?

I remember thinking the same thing. I think it was a bullsh*t 'discovery' to help secure funding.

Re: Things I Hate

It's been happening to me sometimes, then goes back to normal. I get the feeling that the css (cascading style sheet) which defines the fonts, etc. isn't consistently loading every time, or something like that.

I use gasket boxes and Bovidas, but I feel coolers are the best option due to less temperature fluctuation.

The downside for coolers for me is I can’t see my digital hygrometer like I can with bins and since I keep the main stash in my closet, I’m in there at least twice a day minimum. For my smaller smoking bin I don’t even use a hygrometer and completely trust the boveda on its own. Coolers also are bulkier don’t look as nice and don’t stack well. I do agree that they work just as well and may possibly provide a better temp buffer for those without central air.

I use the Bluetooth/wifi 2 gallon humidifier for mine

I feel this may be overkill for 150ct humidor.

Its a walk in.

A walk in 150 ct humidor? We're talking about @exibar's question, he's the OP with the issue.

Trust me...My humidor can hold 150

I remember the pictures when you were building that. Outstanding job!

@Krieg beautiful walk in. I have to inquire why you decided to use aromatic cedar? Every thing I’ve researched, vehemently, discourages the use of this wood species. Is that why you sealed it? What kind of sealer did you use and did you seal one surface or all sides? Have you noticed any negative effects on flavors of your cigars? I’m asking because I too like the look but hesitant based on research.

Ty for the kind words! I used aromatic cedar, well because I liked the look...and couldn't find anything else. I did seal it due to the advice I was given from some of the guys here on the forum. I don't remember the exact brand I used, but it was just your avg clear sealent. Maybe its listed under my old post from when I was building it. I think someone suggested what to use at the time. I sealed all four sides. The aromatic smell has totally dissipated and no ill effect on my cigars. I did buy some Spainish cedar wall sleeves to add, just have in there. Smells fantastic. Additionally, I have built some cedar shelves, and also sealed them too just to be safe. Anymore shelves I build will be built from actual Spainish cedar (found a placethat sells it, finally!) Hope this helps!

This one I need help with. Rusty, why did you give it an LOL?

I have to say that I felt the same. Were those actual women in the basement? If so, were they captives? Then there's the fact that the people on the surface had faces, those in the basement did not. Dolls?

All in all, rather disturbing. Plus, I'm an introvert. Should I be offended?

Of course, it's a cartoon. How much stock should one put in overthinking a cartoon?

That's all.

For now.

Re: Pipe tips for Cigar People, what we've learned...

When you have the tobacco in different forms, cake, flake, plug, Kendal Twist etc, does it matter how you bust it up to pack? Will it affect the flavor, or just however you can make it smaller?

Re: Political Discussions

@silvermouse said:

This strikes me as an outstanding example of race baiting propaganda. Exactly of the nature to ensure that conflict between the races remains active in our country, and never dies.

With complete disregard of facts or truth, Mr. Bolling reaches into the psyche of the disaffected or delusional, offends anyone who believes in merit as being a primary source of personal accomplishment, thus keeping the flames of hatred stoked in order to provide a source of power for those who wish to exploit those sentiments in certain segments of our population.

Well, that's politics for you. Some things never change. I'm sure the Socialists will enjoy the gist of this one.

I should add that I don't fault Edward, having lived through the years when institutional racism was a real thing I say none of us want that to return. Why don't we just let it die?

Re: you can't make this stuff up

Just something I read in a 1440 newsletter. Maybe they meant a breathable oxygen atmosphere? Don't recall.

Re: Votes/Suggestions

I admit I'm guilty too, but I don't quite understand the desire to smoke an expensive stick to commemorate something or someone. I may want to smoke a great cigar for the occasion, which may not equate to an expensive cigar, especially when we're talking over-priced Cubans. Forget about them and look for a high-end Padron.
