Humidor Question

[mail man]

Speaking of K7, has anyone seen him lately?

He posted a little while back that he was going through some stuff...don't know if it was from the accident or not, but I hope he is doing alright.

Compared to what? Joe S. Ragman's cigar emporium? I have a feeling if you did business with a reputable cigar retailer, your opinion would change...Dramatically.

Not to mention the balance in the checkbook.

I've patronized Joe Shitz the Ragman's Emporium. Nice place! (compared to Thompson's, that is). Just like Schlitz is better than Pabst Blue Ribbon beer!

Me? I prefer Heinekin's or Beck's, personally.

I purchased a 100 count humidor from my local B&M. The following link is the exact same one that I have:

http://www.cigarplace.biz/index.cfm/...6384/catid/165

I've had it over a year now and I'm quite happy with it.

FWIW, I live in Canada and paid very close to $200 including taxes for the same humidor.

I'm not saying the above web site is the place to buy a humidor, or that it's the humidor you should buy (mostly I'm just bitching that I had to pay around 2.5 times what you guys in the US would pay.....lol.......but that's Canada for you). In fact, I'd recommend you hit some local cigar stores and see what they have and do some shopping around comparing prices and types of humidors before you settle on the one you want.

As has been mentioned, if you get into this addiction.....errrr.....hobby, I would suggest you buy a large (100 to 150 count) humidor to start and expect to either buy another humidor in the next few years, or, plan on making a coolerdor along the same time frame.

Now I'm not saying that either are very good but as far as shitty beer is concerned I have to disagree!

PBR has to be better, it won a BLUE RIBBON

Funny thing about Schlitz, it's owned by Pabst and brewed for Pabst by Miller. Before Prohibition it was the number 1 beer in America and regained it's popularity in 1934. A prolonged strike allowed Bud to take up market share. In the '50's they messed with the recipe and it became, by all accounts, undrinkable and a joke. I understand Pabst is using the old recipe, but it's not distributed here in New England as far as I know. I'd like to check it out. I like old man beers, as I call them, but many aren't what they were when I was a kid.

I grew up in Albany, NY and used to be able to find PBR in that area. I'm down in Jacksonville, FL now and it is on tap in every bar. I guess that the "hipsters" have taken PBR as their beverage of choice.

It may be nostalgic for many, but it's still "Schlitz" and "Pabst Blue Ribbon" here just south of Milwaukee (where it's brewed).

I restate my earlier observation - "Just like Schlitz is better than Pabst Blue Ribbon beer! Me? I prefer Heinekin's or Beck's, personally."

Try the Beck's Oktoberfest (if you can find it).

But Doc - I owe you big time, buddy. Let me see what I can do to honor your request. Would you care for some Hamm's too? I hear that's making a comeback!
