  1. El Pres recently mentioned in a post on smoking in high humidity that he will put a cigar in the refrigerator for an hour or two before smoking in very humid conditions. Living in a humid climate, I find this very interesting. Does any one else do this 'refrigerator dry boxing'? Curious to hear other members experiences and thoughts.
  2. Good morning/afternoon/evening dear friends, I thought I share a feel-good story to gladden the heart of many Habanos enthusiasts on our forum. A few days ago one of my students learnt that my birthday was coming up. Well, word got out quickly and the class managed to design and write a multi-page happy birthday card, with the assistance of my brilliant teacher assistant/aide. A few students even got small gifts, they didn't have to, I was overwhelmed. I thought to myself how good the day was yesterday, when a Cuban mother of the striker in my school soccer team, which I coach during the winter season, gave me this below for my birthday... How was it? Well, like you're thinking, I had my reservations but I've read enough of Ray's (Pigfish) posts to not be too concerned by cigars that are a little dried out and besides, it could be fake. So when I lit this up after work I instantly knew in the first puff...this was for REAL!!! Ooh yeah, Cohiba grass/hay and honey all the way through. So what could be better than a gifted pre-2014 Cohiba Espléndidos that was so wonderfully flavoursome, and despite the dry and slightly cracked wrapper, this never went out nor did it disassemble in any way! The image below sums up how I enjoyed this over 105 minutes... So like our dear friend Bill often writes, be thankful...life's good!
  3. Hey guys, I was wondering.. What is the best period of time to drybox a cigar? Also, does the period of time depend on the size and shape of cigar? Lets assume all is equal with ambient temp and rH. I have proven to myself that at least 24 hours definitely improves the burn and taste, but I feel and get the idea that 24 hours is not enough time to complete the effect dryboxing has on a cigar. Every time, the first third is absolutely beautiful, then the cigar starts gradually get harsher through the second and 3rd thirds. Almost like an overwhelming toasted tobacco taste bordering on unpleasant. Thanks All!!
