thanks for the warm welcomes. I now have to figure out why my humi is not holding up to rh. I do believe it is the cold weather. I am gonna get a humidifier that will do up to 100 cigars and call it a day that should keep it steady since my box only holds 25 or so
I'm stumbling through the same obstacles. My tobacconist tells me to season my humi 3-4 times a month in the winter time. Also, if you have a analog hygrometer, trash it and get a digital. Those things are just for show, apparently. I've also taken the "sponge" out of my humidifier and replaced it with the beads (Cigar Mechanic).
Guns don't kill people, Daddies with pretty daughters do…..
Cool i just checked and my Order is out for delivery today so I am Anxiously awaiting my New Sticks. I have to do the Tupperdoor for a minute Christmas has be Spent and the Humi will have to wait, I have a Nice Drawer here at Home in a Nice wooden Dress that i can use temp.
Hugs

I've been lurking around for a little while.. Great info here. I've been putting my collection together for about a year and a half now. Recently I've taken advantage of the Ghurka Sampler at CCOM and have enjoyed some of those recently (Legend, Black Dragon, Royal Brigade). I'm still learning. I look forward to posting here with you guys. Happy Holidays.
Thanks for the welcome Hays. Although I crave a nice cigar daily, I only have the opportunity to have one or two weekly. However, you can bet I open up my Big 'ol Humi every night just to get a whiff and say Hello to my boys that are resting in there. Most recently I've thoroughly enjoyed the Oliva Masters Series III Robusto and a Ghurka Royal Brigade Perfecto. Both extremely yummy!!!
Hello everyone! I have been a CCOM forum voyeur for some time but have never posted.
I have been smoking on and off (mostly off) for about 8 years but got more serious within the last 18 months. I purchased a 300 ct humidor about 6 months ago and have been actively trying to fill it. I also bought a mini fridge from HD for about $20 dollars on sale that never worked, gutted it and made a fridgidor. Works great with the forum members recommended "beads"!
My lovely wife "authorized" me to make several purchases over the last few months and I secured a box of Sol Cubana Cuban Cabinets, a Gurkha sampler, Rocky Patel Ltd. Ed. 'A' Sampler, a few custom samplers and some RP/Perdomo/MOW segundo bundles.
Got to love it!

Welcome to the family Puff-N-Chug (cool name). Sounds like you've got a good assortment there. I like the Sol Cubana CC a lot myself . At least with the 300 count and the mini fridge you'll have room for a little while. Just beware of be-friending this group of cigar crazies - they don't think 'nothin of cigar bombing the daylights outta a brother with no warning !!!
Hey Puff'n-- Welcome to the group and enjoy your stay. There are many Gurkha/Patel debates that occur here, you will one day be forced to choose a side, beware.

That is exactly what I intend to do. Which reminds me, I am out of '92's and Nordings again.
Howdy Puff'n...Welcome to the group! Ya really couldn't ask for a better group of fellas than what we have here, and I've been on more than one forum so I say that with confidence :-).

There's been some conjecture, speculation and frankly, some Hoo-Ha...let me go on the record and say "I'm a cigar.com newb and have been directed to this thread." Here I am newbie thread...ready to join the existing ranks of those that have gone before me- cigar.com giants like "Puff-n-chug" and "Hays" and "kaspera79"...and "gmill880." One day I'll be the one welcoming newbs to cigar.com and directing them to proclaim their status on this introductive (introspective?) thread. Maybe that day will be tomorrow...a year from now? Who knows? The important thing is that I keep smoking. And I will.
I tried this once before an I think people were scared to try it out, but here it goes again...
For the first 2 newbies here on the forum that PM me with their address and some smokes they have been looking to try, I will put together a little "welcome aboard" package for you and send it out, hopefully on monday with the rest of them.
Don't be affraid to get in on this one people, I love to share the wealth, and I have plenty of smokes to go around. Who wants 'em?!

Hey Peder, welcome to the group. It is a nice way to spend some time with others who enjoy cigars. You are now one of us. ( Yikes !)
