Cigar smokers!

[motoman]

Can't beat 12 cigars (Victor Sinclair), a humidor, lighter, and cutter for $20.

For $3 quorums are good!

Same here. After reading this, I thought; "hmm, pretty day for a m/c ride. How bout I find a cigar shop around Keller!" I found a "decent" one on 1709 by Grill 1709. Didnt get my usual, wanted to try new... and cheap. So I bought some Quorums and Casa De Garicas. Cheap 2-4 dollar range and not too shabby. I have 3 left.

Ya'll need to never smoke any of the cigars I smoke. You'll glare at your Quorums, your Casa de Garcias and glare with contempt at how inferior and gross they are.

May be ordering this for my dad's birthday!


I am going insane waiting on my cigars to get here from cigarbid.com my first order will be here on thursday. I am ready to try a Gurkha Widowmaker.

Pretty much all I smoke comes from house of cigars. All handmade and hand rolled in shop. Much thanks to Motoman for the tip

I've already smoked through the sun grown (green labels) and corojos (red labels) and damn were they good. The other two labels are maduros and double maduros, which I'm not a huge fan of.

They're a totally different smoke, pricey, but good. What have you been smoking from them? I started with the Go West and quickly moved onto the La Jefa.

Im gonna get that setup for him. my dad's nice humidor is in storage and my parents travel around like gypsies in their toy hauler, so I know he would dig the shit out of that small humidor. It is absolutely perfect!

New Setup?

So I haven't had any luck with my current humidor lately and I'm fed up with it. I'm guessing because it's just a cheaply made humidor. I use a digital hygrometer with a Xikar crystal gel disc that's set at 70% humidity. From what I've been told and what I've read they crystal packs are supposed to last for months, unfortunately that's not the case for me. So rather than spending more money on a humidor, I'm thinking about putting together a coolidor.

My thoughts are using a small thermoelectric wine cooler with a built in fan that with an adjustable temperature gauge. I'd keep the temp between 68-72 degrees at all times. The door is has a perfect seal on it to keep humidity in.

My girlfriends dad has some spanish cedar that he can cut down for me to use as shelves in place of the wire shelves the cooler comes with.

I'm not sure if I want to use a larger jar filled with gel crystals or get one of the larger humidifier pumps. Figure I can wire in a small computer fan or two in order to keep the internal air cycling.

This is the cooler I'm looking at something similar to this...

If you haven't heard of the coolidor, just google it and you'll see all sorts of different types people are using and having success with out there. I've found my about 6 different smokes that are my go to cigars and I'm tired of messing with my current humidor. What are your thoughts on this?

Have you checked into Heartfelt beads? Cheap, multiple deployment possibilities and rehydrate whenever you need to with a syringe and a gallon of distilled water. I use the 65%. Also why not just an ice chest, ammo can, etc? Unless you just want the cool factor of the fridge (pun intended ). For air movement in bigger containers, Oust fans without the smelly stuff used to be pretty popular.

I haven't really looked into other gels yet, Xikar was the first I've used, and all the sites had great reviews on them. I thought about doing a cooler which I might eventually do but for now I like the presentation aspect of the wine cooler. I've also read that some coolers need modification to get a good seal.

I hadn't thought of the Oust fans, I suppose those would work without having to go through any wiring.

Mason jar!

my favorites, for a reasonable price are Rocky Patel vintage 1990 or 1992

According to the broad running the cigar shop off Bedford-Euless, everyone in this thread should ignore taste, sensibility and consideration for their palate and smoke Taboo barber pole cigars.

she should smoke my barber pole. lol
I was totally looking forward to my Gurkha Widowmakers and was honestly dissapointed in them. Now, one of the Diesels I had was probably the best cigar I have had. Very nice smoke.

I have a box of Hesitant Pirates that are my every day working on the ranch cigar and they are not bad at all. The only real problem I have with them is the filler coming out in your mouth a few pieces at a time. annoying, but cant expect much for a cheap cigar.

Cheap cigars are usually made with the short filler, it's a way to produce a cigar with higher-quality tobacco. The drawback, obviously, is that the draw sucks, the burn sucks, it'll come apart internally, the flavors can be muddy because the short leaf is blended like potpurri with other short leaf.
