I'm baaaaaaccckk

madurofanmadurofan Posts: 6,219 ✭✭✭
I'm back from a great week. There were 26 cabins at the state park we were at and 25 of them were rented by people with us. My wife and I arrived Monday with 66 beers for ourselves and had to make a beer run(an hour to the closest store with beer) on thursday for 54 more and we had two leftover when we left Saturday night! Needless to say it was a good time, and I thoroughly enjoy Sam Adams Summer Ale. I played poker every night and actually walked away two dollars in the black, I call that successful!

On to cigars, I decided it would be a good idea to take my desktop humidor with about 50 cigars in it in case I smoked a lot and/or anyone else wanted a couple. Well I didn't think about the fact that there was no AC out there and at one point my humi was sitting at 88% and 92 degrees. Not exactly great conditions for anything besides mold and the dreaded tobacco beetle. Kaspera, you should love this! I got tobacco beetles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw a hole in one of my sticks and immediately freaked and started looking around in the humi and there under the cello I saw one burrow into a RP Vintage 1999 right before my eyes. I immediately whipped them all out of the humi stuck them in zip lock bags and into the freezer they went, except one I intended to smoke that night. I stuck the cigars in the freezer for 24 hours and stuck the empty humidor in the freezer for about 12 hours. I put the cigars in the fridge for about 10 hours after they came out of the freezer and haven't had any problems since. I do believe I will be freezing all cigars before they hit my humidors now though.Finally I'll give you guys a little rundown of what I smoked while I was out there.
Nording
Sol Cubano Sumatra(my 2nd favorite of the week)
Rocky Patel Summer Blend(My favorite of the week possibly in my top 5! Habano Wrapper with a Cameroon binder, ingenious!)
A few Nub cameroons
Romeo Y Julieta Presidente (a gift from the wife's uncle smoked it for like 4 hours and it still had an inch and a half when I set it down)
RP Sungrown
ccom purple label and red label

    Welcome back. What is the RP summer blend? Never heard of it.

    Anyway, im me your address and I will send you a couple of the OSG's

  • madurofanmadurofan Posts: 6,219 ✭✭✭
    The summer blend is a new stick by Rocky I went to an event last friday at my B&M and they were debuting them. Very good. If I can get another I'll stick it in your package for the OSG's.
  • LasabarLasabar Posts: 4,472 ✭✭✭
    Yeah, the B&M near my work said he was one of the first's in the area to get 'em, but it's just a seasonal cigar that Rocky is limitedly producing...

    Either way I bought a couple... and they have a cool wrapper too!

    Sol Cubano Sumatra is a great smoke...makes me wonder why they discontinued that line

    Ok, let me ask this...you only put the cigars and humidor in the freezer/fridge to get rid of the beetles, right? Because from what I understand you do not store cigars in the fridge or freezers. Did i answer my own question here? Just wanted to confirm, it is good info.
  • madurofanmadurofan Posts: 6,219 ✭✭✭
    The Sumatra was discontinued? DAMN! That was really good.
  • madurofanmadurofan Posts: 6,219 ✭✭✭
    Andy you did answer your own question. The length of time they need to be in the freezer/fridge depends on who you talk to but you're right in that you don't store them in there. HOWEVER, I do store my humidors in wine fridge that is set at 65 degrees to prevent beetles.

    The band is cool. I think RP will do a similar cigar that'll be produced long term, from what the rep and the B&M owner were saying the Summer Blend has been extremely well received and is flying off shelves.

  • j0z3rj0z3r Posts: 9,403 ✭✭
