Keep an eye on the 24:24's, I was in a similar boat, then I saw some come up and pulled the trigger immediately on a box of CoLa's. You have to be quick though because they sell out fast. -
Buy a humidor ? or build?
alozano87 replied to BellevilleMXZ's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Just my .02, I was at the same fork in the road as your are currently at BellevilleMXZ. I was concerned because I have my thermostat programmed to raise/lower the temp in my home when we are not there. After basically getting the same replies as you have, I decided to go for the cooler and heartfelt beads. I am very glad I did, at this point of my collecting I much rather be spending the money on growing my collection. After doing some research on coolers and the insulation testing they do (ex: how long the cooler will keep ice) I have been able to keep a rock steady temp and humidity in mine. If you are extremely worried about high temps, you can get a marine cooler which is rated to hold temperatures for a longer time. My reasoning for the cooler was if I ever decided to get a huge cabinet or expensive automated system (like pigfish's systems) you are not out a huge amount <$50 USD and you can always use it for overflow! Anyways good luck on your choice, you can't go wrong with either! Happy smoking and long ashes to you! -
Wow Fuzz! That is quite a list! Appreciate it, have you heard of the Chook I wonder if it's any good

Hey guys/gals, in many of the reviews that I have seen with Ken and Prez, they have been drinking sparkling Shiraz. I've done some searching and was wondering if there were any specific recommendations for a good bottle? I picked up a bottle of Chook, haven't tried it yet though.

Just realized I never mentioned a stick I'm currently enjoying: HDM Epicure#2 Sorry

You know I've been wanting to at least stop at Biggs Mansion to check the place out, but I think it's a ritzier place and I may not feel comfortable rubbing elbows with the elite of Chicago lol! Looks like a cool place though. I don't frequent too many places, there's one by my house that is relatively quiet and friendly. I've actually been kicking around the idea of making a "man cave" style shed, with half of it storage and the other half finished, insulated and heated/cooled just to hang out because the wife is not too keen on the cigar smoke. Anyways just a thought at the moment.

Welcome Manny, Montecristo #2 of certain years are quite delectable, but with so many great tasting cigars it's hard to narrow down to one or 5...lol What part of Chicago? I reside in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, Hoffman Estates specifically. Either way welcome!

Boveda bags: Good, Bad, and/or Ugly?
alozano87 replied to alozano87's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Thanks wabashcr, I just ordered a couple of pounds of the heartfelts and plan on picking up a cooler here real shortly. I wonder if people aren't aware that the Boveda humidor bags exist based on many of the replies on this post? Anyways thanks for your suggestion, I appreciate it! -

Boveda bags: Good, Bad, and/or Ugly?

Yes I was, couldnt really find any reputable reviews online. Thanks for the clarification! Took me some time to see the responses. -
Boveda bags: Good, Bad, and/or Ugly?
alozano87 replied to alozano87's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Thanks for the responses guys, I think I'm swaying over to the coolidor idea, as it seems slightly more "permanent/safe" with some beads. -
Hey gents, I have been getting ready for a wineador build that I anticipate will take some time, but I wanted to pull the trigger on a couple of boxes and have no room in my desktops. Has anyone had any experience with the large boveda bags that can accommodate a box of sticks? It's going to be either the bags (if they get good reviews) or a coolidor.

How Often Do You Spot Check For Mold

Twice a year, once in spring and once in the fall. -
Hello everyone, been smoking NC's for a couple of years and have acquired a small collection. My hobby has slowly taken me to the world of CC. Originally from Mexico, I have tried to sample as many as I can get my hands on. Hoping to learn a lot from the members here at FOH.
