I'd strongly recommend one of the hard plastic cases like X-treme or whatever; they're all the same. A little distilled water on the foam (or occasionally some 50:50)and the humidity holds at around...

related question:

I've got the adjustable digital hygrometer. How do you adjust it to 70 if it's off by more than a few %?

I love it, especially when you can find a free wi-fi network to get onto the 'net.

My only regret was that they came out with the 32GB one about a month after I got the 16.

I'm gonna get a...

I'll be at the Wynn 4/30-5/2, so if you're there on the 1st, I'm there. Last time I was there I went to the Fuente store in Caesars and had a great Mojito and one of their special cigars--bought a...

Just back from Puerto Vallarta. No worries about ice/water/veggies/salads in any of the restaurants that do a serious tourist business. May be different if you go to some small local restaurant; then...

I have the same thing by X-treme and it maintains humidity for at least a week. I took out the foam inserts and put in some cedar scraps so the stogies would think they're in a real humi. Honestly, I...

Has anyone successfully brought back Cubans from Mexico or via Canada?

Any good stories to go along???

Been on vacation in Puerto Vallarta. Here's what I enjoyed on 3 of the nights sitting out on the patio after dinner. Tequila con Squirt or Fresca is my "pseudomargarita."

Heard on the news today that it's gonna be legal to fly with a lighter again so the TSA can look for real explosives. Guess I'll never use my Colibri TSA approved lighter container for packing a...

If you're just using it for storage and not for display, consider an X-treme or similar plastic box. I struggle with my cheapo wood humidor w/ a humidipuck. My 15 cigar X-treme needs a few drops of...

just got the adjustable digital hygroset hygrometer. also, Madelaine digitals are prettyh accurat. Little havana-NOT.

Holy moly!!! You can't possibly ever smoke all those. You should host a giant herf. Then you could start collecting all over again.

Aberlour a'bunadh $60 (prices from binnys.com)
Balvenie Doublewood (12 yr old) $40--almost everyone loves this and it's a bargain
Bowmore 17 yr old $63 peaty, but much less than Laphroig or...

Sorry for the delay; my laptop bluescreenofdeath'ed. Came back to life after booting from system disc; almost had to drop $1200 on a new Vaio. I digress.

All locally bought, although I did overpay...

Here's the bourbons:

Not finding the scotch pix. Here's a couple of my special ones:...

Try Balvenie Doublewood, Talisker (smoky).
For more $$, try Macallan 15 yr old Fine Oak

Looking forward to trying these:

Love Eagle Rare 10, too.

Another reasonable one is Rowan's Creek

If you want to knock your socks off, try George T Stagg--around 140 proof!!:smiley5:

The stash:...

My favorites:
Don Julio 1942--I bought a bottle back from Puerta Vallarta's La Casa Del Tequila before it was even available in the USA. On my third bottle now.
1921--can be hard to find, but worth...

Pappy van Winkle 20 yr old if you're willing to spring for it, but the 15 yr old is pretty good, too.
Jefferson Reserve is another favorite.

Was at Adobo Grill Monday and had two Margaritas, one with Casa Noble Reposado and the other with Tezon Reposado. Both were excellent; I liked the Tezon a little more.
Unfortunately, they stopped...

Went to the new Morton's Steak House in my town last night with a couple of friends to watch election results, have some bourbon (Wild Turkey Rare Breed and Woodford Reserve) and smoked a Punch,...

Sux. Doesn't show Churchill & Down in Deerfield, IL or Cigar King in Skokie, IL.

Salt test is 75%, not 70%. Any sealed container should work. You can always go to a cigar store and get some cedar "scraps" to put in so the cigars think they're in a humi; this would probably take...

My humi with a 65% Humidipuck dropped to 60% the other day. I opened the puck and all the beads were dry. I re-wet the sponge and although it took a few days, I'm back up to 65%. These things work,...
