Humidor humidity constantly on the rise...

[ashauler]

C'mon man, this ain't rocket science. Maybe you should just buy one cigar at a time, and fill your humidor with peanuts. No humidification necessary.

I really hate to disagree, however, I probably concentrate more on the humidity of my nuts than I do my cigars.

I, as well, probably concentrate more on the humidity of Jamie's nuts than I do my cigars.

Thank you. Properly humidified nuts produce a wonderful cracking sound when opened. Soggy nuts only sound like stepping on a slug.

I meant the kind of peanuts you eat. Desktop humidors could make a nice little snack dispenser if you just can't figure out how to keep your cigars stored.

Um, so was I. I mean, who likes a nut in a soggy shell?

You sir, have never had a boiled peanut then. Pretty big deal here in the South, and darn tasty at that.

No, I have not had a boiled peanut. I'm certain they are wonderful, however, I cannot imagine giving up that oh so satisfying crunch when the shells break.

Do the soggy shells work as well for polishing a hardwood floor as the crunchy ones do?

Salted, roasted in the shell peanuts is my "fat-ass-is-parked-in-the-recliner-watching-football" foods. In fact, I'm thinking seriously of trying to grow some peanuts next year.

I love the smell of a good thread derailment

Salted, roasted in the shell with a beer is still best. However, take a bunch of raw peanuts and boil them for a few hours in some really salty water. (I use my turkey fryer.) Eat while hot, and serve with some spiked hot apple cider. I always do this a couple times during colder weather. Mmmm Mmmm good!

[ashauler]

Boy TGT, that sounds very interesting. I'll seriously consider giving that a try. I'm not sure I've seen any "raw" peanuts for sale in my area, but then again, I've never looked for them. Are they readily available in your area? Are they available all year? Do you think they'd hold up in shipping?

I NEVER store peanuts in the shell in my humidor. How gauche!
