Hello from Tampa

Howdy and welcome to the board. To keep your humidor stable you're most likely gonna need to put more than 4 cigars in it. I don't smoke alot of Connecticut wrapped cigars, and the ones I do smoke don't meet your other criteria, so I'm not much help there.

Gonna calibrate my hygrometer tonight with the salt method (Seems to be a relaible way) because its definetly reading wrong 95%.. Did not hear about the 4+ cigars but makes sense I have a few and gonna get a box so will have 20 ish to put in it soon. Thanx for advice

Wait... WHAT!!!! You're in Tampa and you don't know where to buy cigars?!?!

(HINT: there's this little place called Ybor City - you should mapquest it....) And while you're there, check out Tampa Sweethearts - I don't think you'll be disappointed...

Good luck on your hunt!

actually outside of tampa. Ybor is about 40 mins away. Ill have to look over there. I have heard of tampa sweethearts got the web on my favorites now to check em out.
I was at abc liquor store yesterday and they have a nice humidor and they have montecristo and alot of other nice ones. Was happy to stumble on that. Picked up a romeo y juliet reserva real.

Ill keep using this thread to ask silly things instead of starting new threads. Keep in mind, still a bit new and come across stuff I cant find every now and again (even on the search function).

When receiving new sticks in mail from the web is it wise to smoke one right away? I got a 10 pack in and put them right in the humidor (they were sealed well). RH was 66 when I put em in and is still 66 a few hours later. So intelligence leads me to believe they are ready to smoke. But wanna be sure. I remember seeing someone had said they wait a few days when getting sticks in the mail

Most often, cigars are over-humidified for my tastes when they arrive from on-line vendors. Typically I let them sit in the humi for a week or two before lighting them up. Sometimes I just can't resist and smoke one immediately. Most often, when I do, I wish I hadn't.
YMMV
