    Got room for the two boxes arriving today?

    If not, I guess it's time to empty the ashtrays and fill the lighters!

    He will when he figures out how the tub of empty bands don’t need to be in there!
    LOL good one! Trying to hide the ugly power cord that runs the LED lighting.

    Friendly insight brother, you have mold on the cigars at the back of the drawers.

    @Guitarded thanks for catching that- didn’t see it when I snapped the pics! I’ll be checking to make sure it’s not on the foot when I get home tonight. What do you think could help prevent that- more airflow? Humidity it ~65% (boveda) so I wouldn’t think they’d be too damp
  • GuitardedGuitarded Posts: 4,705 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I like and use 65% boveda, maybe the temperature too high for a while?
    I have seen much worse, but I would segregate those smokes from the others for a while. Might as well pull everything out and give the unit a good cleaning, especially anything wood.

    😁 That’s just plume bro

    but seriously CCs seem more prone to mold (in my experience). Maybe some airflow could help.

    Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll wipe them off, put them in a tupperware for a bit, and watch them. Any tips for getting airflow in a fridge setup?

    The typical smart@ss answer around here would be to smoke more so you have to open it more often!
    Xicar HumiFan 831XI can be had for about 25.00 and has good reviews.
    Some tech savvy people have used computer fans, but that is above my pay grade.
    Good luck, welcome to the forum!

    It happens to everyone. Most times just brushing everything off is all that’s needed. Make sure there’s none on the wood. That requires a little more work.

    I learned the hard way to not scrimp on labels.  Every single one fell off in the tuppers.  I know who sent sticks but not which ones

    Could be like me and have absolutely no clue. I took pictures with name and all, so I would know and my computer crashed and took everything with it.
    Now, I know someone sent it, but no idea who.
    Every once in awhile, I have a moment of clarity and remember who it was.

    Is that one bag of bands for good cigars and one for bad ones, like VegasFrank's?  I wish I had thought of keeping them separated.

    Welcome @Kendu44
     
    You seem to be off to a good start. 
  • Kendu44Kendu44 Posts: 24 ✭✭
    Haha yeah you guys are right, very addicting!

    Looks like this is the new newbie welcoming thread?? Welcome @DPIStorm.  Hopefully you know already whether or not that thing is holding humidity. It should have stabilized during the seasoning process. If it doesn't hold humidity, the seals around the glass are likely the culprit. Easy enough to fix.
