Phillies are good deal

[TampaSupremo]

Phillies...A good deal. Well here is how I feel about it.

Let's say you are driving down the road. You run off the road, strike a tree, and break your neck...You survive the accident. Thats a good deal...But it still sucks.

Good analogy.

I understand you guys are conosseiurs. But if you had to go to Walgreens and pick something from their selection, what would u get?

As CC mentioned, Muniemakers. It is. without a doubt, the best non-communist, machine made available.

Go to walmart, buy are fairly good sized tupperware. Get it from the cooking section, not hardware. You want a tight seal. Then go to the arts + craft section. Ask for florist foam. It is the green stuff that people stick flowers in. Now got to lawn and garden or hardware and get a small temp/humidity gauge. Shouldn't be much bigger than a box or two of wooden matches. Now go to the grocery section and get a jug of distilled water. Now goto the tobacco section and buy some handmade cigars, or goto a tobacco shop and buy a bundle of cigars.

Go home and slightly dampen the florist foam with distilled water, put it, your temp/humi gauge and cigars in the tupperware and your done.

You'll have better cigars than Phillies and the tupperware humi will run you about 20 bucks including the gauge.

Or don't buy the gauge, go on feel and guesses and pay about 3 bucks plus cigars.

What he said, but make sure it is the "wet" Oasis foam.

Thanks for the advice about tupperdor. I hadn't heard about these before. I had heard of a coolidor but I thought it was too expensive and I didn't need nearly that much space.

Any other good ones besides muniemakers? Someone mentioned Don Kiki's. What do the rest of you think of these?

[Kass]

Do a forum search for "cheap cigars". You're bound to find many. Pretty much all of them recommended should be decent cigars.

[boomshay]

don kikis are good

LOL. I saw the title of this thread and I new it would be entertaining.

Did you like the "kinder, gentler CC86?"

LMAO, I think I pulled something.

There are no cigars sold in gas stations or Walgreens that I would smoke. But try these. I get bundles of Alec Bradely Ovations for about $2 each at Cigars International, 40 bucks for a bundle of 20. And they beat the hell out of gas station smokes.

Uuuuurgh, ban him now before I am sick.

WTF!!?? That chemical you need to make a humidifier for a tupperdor costs $20! How is that a good deal? I might as well buy a dinky humidor with a humidifier inside for $25! I'll wait for a deal at a garage sale.

[Coffee&CigarBoy]

I've been reading on these tupperdors and it says I need this chemical which costs $20. Do i need this chemical??? tHIS IS EXPENSIVE!!!

[Kass]

Not sure where you've been reading...try reading on this site.. A tuperdor is essentialy the same a a coolidor, just with tupperware and not a cooler.

Dude, you should probably do some more reading.

[TampaSupremo]

Just use distilled water. Do a search.

Sorry for the double post, but after the first one I checked back a few hours later and it wasn't there. Now its there.

This chemical is called propylene glycol. It releases water when humidity gets above certain point and absorbs when it gets below certain point (or maybe other way around). This is the chemical you need for the self made humidifier.

[boomshay]

you don't "need" it... there are plenty of other ways

[TampaSupremo]

Do a search for beads. They're cheap. You add distilled water (also cheap) and you are on your way. You can be a budget conscious smoker, but not without some kind of outlay of funds. Granted, you can buy Phillies and Black & Milds and light them with a cigarette lighter, but if that is all you want, then why are you here? And I don't mean that in an ass way. The main stick for the members here is gonna be an imported handrolled-that's all there is to it. That's what is discussed. Believe me, beads, water, small humidor and a cutter is all you need. These guys are here to help you (especially if you're gonna make that leap from a dried out Phillies Cherry to a rich, handrolled Dominican maduro). Give it a chance.
