Anyone worried about shipments being confiscated, like last year at this time?:ear:

So this has been weighing on my mind for the last few weeks, and I finally figured I'd get around to posting. Here's my story: I bought an 18 bottle Haier thermo-electric wine cooler back in May, and ordered 1lb of HF beads (70%), and 7 large tubes of HF beads (65%). I also ordered 7 custom...

A couple of issues that I would like addressed. The first concerns one of the new FLASHING banner ads at the top of the page that "screams" out in vibrant colors how I am a "WINNER" and how "THIS IS NOT A JOKE". I can get over the fact that it is obnoxious and distracting ( I understand it's...

So last year at this time I was a Puff (Club Stogie back then...) lurker. I learned a whole lot, especially about humidor upkeep and the notorious Heartfelt Beads. Eventually, with the bad influence of dudes here, I purchased a bigger desktop humi and a 1/2lb of 70% beads. They have worked...

First of all let me premise this thread with a pre-apology if I'm beating a dead horse here on CS that's been covered ad infinitum. However, being fairly new to the jungle and the world of cigar smoking; and being a 55 y.o. male who is somewhat fanatical about maintaining good health I was...

For a few weeks I have noticed that my humi was about 60-65% humidity.For Christmas my wife got me a digital hygometer and it reads the same so I added some water to see if it would raise my levels the last couple days there has been no change. So I wonder if that humidity is to low should I be...

The Heartfelt beads are charged with a saline solution to regulate the humidity. Is there any chance of salt getting into the air when the beads release moisture? I have a Western Digital Caliber III hygrometer. The manufacturer said if I wanted to test the hygrometer to see if it is within...

I've done some searches, and have found a couple threads about a "wrinkled" appearance on cigar wrappers, and it looks as though this may be due to rapidly fluctuating RH levels in the humidor. I have about 150+ singles in my main humi, and a good number of them are starting to appear a little...

Hello all. This is my first post. I have been in to cigars for many years. I have had a humidor for probably 10 years now. It was a gift. My concern is that the seal is bad around the metal hydrometer in the front of the humidor. It has a glass top with the hydrometer in the front panel of the...

Greetings to all hobbyists! I am a newbie curious and anxious to find the perfect cigar. Do have a few questions to ask of you seasoned members. Do any of you use a V-cutter? How do you like it? Advantages/disadvantages? Any opinions about phillipine cigars? Recommendations? How far...
