    I thought the same thing when I purchased my 40 ct Humidor. I just got it today, and as soon as it is seasoned, it's going to be full. Coolerdor here I come.

    I started with a 100 count about 2 months ago. It only took me a few weeks to fill up. I've been getting ready to start a big coolerdor to accomdate the boxes I want to purchase and age. I got the cooler and am going to order the necessary amount of beads once I get my next paycheck!

    What the thought about all the plastic wrap?

    I purchased a 25 pack of the 'store labeled' honduras indianhead.

    They are individually wrapped and also bundled with a plastic wrap.

    Is it better to remove them, or keep them wrapped?

    ...faux pas number two.

    "cello on/cello off".

    You don't need this forum to get the answer to your question...

    Personally I think you should unwrap them. I have some King Edwards that have been aging in the cello for about 5 years and they have never improved.

    As long as they're individually wrapped in cellophane and the bundle itself has the original wrapping on it you can store them submersed in liquid. The cellophane acts as a kind of mini-humidor and lets just the right amount of moisture in to keep those high end bundles in perfect condition. They also will equalize much quicker, usually absorbing the perfect amount of moisture in a day or less. To preserve the cigars even better and increase the effect of aging, use a mixture of 1/2 gasoline and 1/2 cow urine. Yeah, it sounds bad but it works wonders and adds a wonderful yellow aged look to your cellophane. The gasoline helps you to get a quick light and an even burn even in windy conditions. In fact, here's a photo of my buddy enjoying a Macanudo in the middle of a recent tornado. He had no trouble at all lighting it.















    Hope this helps. Let us know how it works for you.

    ...1/2 gasoline - 1/2 cow urine... Hmmmm.....

    I've not been able to achieve the coveted yellow cello. I'm going to my humidor to get some sticks. I gotta give that a whirl. Thanks for the suggestion!!!

    Being from the city and all - and not nearly accessible to my country brethren - any suggestion where I may pick up a gallon or two of cow urine?

    A package will be winging its way towards you from Kansas.....the feedlot capital of the world. I'll try to get them to label the urine cow, bull, and steer so you can devise multiple experiments.

    I'm trying that right now, but I haven't gotten further than chasing the cow with a bucket. Seems that she's a little apprehensive about me holding the bucket back there.

    Is goat piss a good substitute? I sometimes drink a mix of goat piss and gasoline to get me motivated in the morning.

    I don't really know for sure, but I don't think it would hurt anything. It may, in fact, impart a pleasant "barnyard" smell to the cigars. I would suggest you try it with a smal bundle first.

    Maybe your reputation precedes you?

    Well this is the only "stump-broke" cow I've got. We've known each other for a long time. I don't understand her acting like this.

    That has to be the funiest picture. Just thinking about it makes me laff.
    I have some freinds that would do that for real.

    Thanks.

    And, those little red lines underneath some of your, ah, words? That means you're spelling's for shit. You're on your own for the grammar. Well, that's a lie. Keep it up and I'm sure someone will step up and help you out.

    I doubt if you have friends who blow up their faces. So, what's all the leg-humping about?


    ETA: Also, to everybody, I just want to be clear on the fact that not everyone in Texas has a stump-broke cow.
