Im new to owning a humidor (125 count). I have seasoned it calibrated both the analog and digital hydrometer. My isssue is I cant keep the humidity below 75%. I have no cigars in it yet. Will adding cigars drop it below 70%? If not what can I do. Thanks
I am going to Vegas next week and I want to bring back some Casa Fuentes. All I will have is a carry on. Does anyone know if airport security will give me any trouble for having cigars in a tavel humidor in a carry on. I can't imagine they would but I guess you never know, right?
Hey everyone, I recently upgraded humidors from my current 40 count( more like 25 count) cheap Chinese box, to a Man o War Humidor from CI. I bid on it online and got it for $75. ( compared to the $100 price on their website i feel i didn't get taken for a ride). I have not transferred...
I just getting started with Cigar smoking, but my father just got me two really nice cigars (at least in my opinion). I saw a nice looking humidor at Sam's club for $60. Is this a good deal? I've been to a couple of local shops but nothing looked as nice and were the same price. Any advice is...

I've been slowly working through the cooler and am going to retire it. I've curtailed the habit down to once or twice a week. Mostly because my boys ( a 9 year old and twin 5 yr olds) have been questioning me about it. That being said I'm not quiting and would like very specific product...
recently bought a used table top style glass top 100 stick humidor off an acquaintance. it had been seasoned and is perfect condition. i tested the hygrometer with the salt test, read as perfect. it came with a couple triangle shaped bars full of water activated gel beads as well as the standard...

I own an amazing antique commercial humidor display case that was made by the Loudon Manufacturing Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The metal plate says The Loudon Cigar Case and has three copyright dates: 1915, 1916, and 1921. It is the most incredible antique I have ever owned and is made of...
Hello I am new. I am from Fort Worth, I go to Texas A&M and currently am on internship in Austin. I've been smoking lightly for almost a year but got a humidor for my birthday last May and have started smoking more ever since. I have a few questions. First off, whenever my humidifier starts...
I got this lighter from my stepfather last year as a gift, and he passed away, so I never did get to ask him which lighter it is. Does anyone happen to know which lighter this is, and if it is genuine or not? Serial at the bottom is: ER4542
I have a S.T. Dupont Lighter that was giving to me by one of my uncles and I'm not sure if its real or fake. Here are some pictures Please Help!
Seeing as how I have recently returned to the time honored experience that we know as cigar smoking, I find myself developing a more refined taste. As such, I have purchased a couple small humidors and as I learn to use them properly, I have noticed differing views on whether you should leave them...
So I found a leak in one of the corners of my humidor using a flashlight in a dark room. I'm having trouble getting above 63%. Can you guys recommend a way for me to seal up the corner? Thanks.

Hey guys I just built a coolidor for my cigars and the humidity seems to be a tad high. I have two humidifiers similar to these not these ones. They are apparently good for 50 cigars each the package said. I filled them with straight distilled water. They are supposed to keep the humidity to...
Any tips and tricks from the experts???
When it comes to table top humidors, what qualities do you find to be most important? I ask because I'm in the process of designing a table top unit and a few questions have arisen. I see that most cigar gurus look for a 3/4" wall thickness to the sides to reduce air flowng through the wood...
Hello, I am new to the forum scene but figured I would try it out and show you guys some stuff I've been working on. I recently saw that there were very few ashtrays that were proportional to the size of a cigar. So I decided to make a large ashtray and see how it looked. This ashtray is made...
