Bushido Honorable mention: Robustos Supremos

Love your setup, and nice view too! Where’d you get the table? Did you find live beetles, or some sticks with damage? It’s possible the eggs were dormant and woke up when the humidor warmed up enough. Also possible that the beetles came from outside the humidor, maybe they’re somewhere in your environment, or they came from a different humidor/box. Check any other humidors or boxes you have. I would just put the entire humidor, cigars and all, in the freezer for a week. That’ll kill whatever is in there.

The Gatsby will also ping. The fake ping is different from a real ping, there are videos on YouTube comparing them. Pretty easy to identify a fake, the serial numbers are a dead giveaway. Plus, the fill port dot, weight, etc.

This Putting boxes in the fridge before the freezer accustoms the beetles/eggs to the lower temperatures. It increases their survival rate in the freezer, forcing you to extend freeze time by days. Human bodies are ~70% water, cigars are ~13% water, freezing doesn’t affect them in the same way. Cello WON’T stop beetles, they’ll bite right through it. I’ve seen it. Not sure if Boxes will stop them either, they can probably burrow through soft wood or escape through tight spaces. For what it’s worth, I freeze everything other than FOH boxes. Box goes directly into the freezer for a week, then counter for half an hour, then into humidor. If every exported cigar is frozen, then freezing won’t change the flavor in any way, it’s already been frozen before!

Is it a humidified garage?

Very nice!

I’d never be able to smoke another Lusi, CoRo or Espy ever again!

How is a leather armchair, a scotch and a cigar pretentious? Also, are 12 million Gurkhas a year actually being smoked?! Maybe people just throw them into fires as kindling?

When it rains, it pours!

Are those 109’s??? Edit: Those bands are actually kinda cool

Sick grill! Brand? Nice! Where’d you get the cigar rest? Which cigar is that? What a view! Where is this?

I smoke standing up at work or when I’m with a group outside, but I could probably walk and smoke. Not sure I’d enjoy it as much as being stationary, but likely doable.

Thank you very much! I’ll look for that Roederer. I saw a Bollinger Grande Année 12 recently, how do you feel about that one? I enjoyed the 2007, how would you say they compare?

Is it a catch-all category? Definitely a great deal!
