Anyone use black ice or other gel humidification? Been trying to use mine and they fill up and expand just fine, but don't hold humidity in my humidor. My humidors aren't in perfect condition. But seem to seal just fine. Thoughts?

Hello Puff, My name is DWes, and I'm am new-ish to the forums. By new-ish I mean I have been stalking some of the forums, soaking up as much as I can, for a year give or take. I have been smoking cigars for a couple years now. Trying to figure out what I like. Right now I am a fan of Romeo y...

(Cross-posted a few places) Well, in my noob intro post, I mentioned that I had gone to check out the Vallarta Cigar Factory, which I read about on reddit. Here's what happened when I did so. I went down there, walked around the Puerto Vallarta Malecon (boardwalk) for quite a while because...

Well, there sure is a lot to learn in this hobby, so first and foremost, thank you for all the content here. A quick rundown so far: [Edit: posted a link to my intro post, but am one post shy of being allowed to post links. See the intro post titled "A new occasional smoker from Canada. "...

Greetings everyone, kinda new to cigars. Got my first cigar at the Little Havana Cigar Factory when i was doing a Miami tour. Wasn't really till last summer leading up to my bachelor party was when i got to try various cigars everywhere -- which led me to here! So much to learn, community is...

What's the story behind Cigar Bundles? Seems like I can't find any of the brand names that I'm most familiar with when looking at Bundles offered by various online retailers. Are my expectations wrong in thinking I could buy Rocky Patel, Padron or Drew Estate smokes cheaper without the box...

New member here. I've been lurking for a few months and have mooch ed lots of good info before registering. I have only gotten into cigars as a serious hobby about three months ago. Not long after quitting cigarettes. I look forward to making friends with the members here. This is such an...

Hello all fellow puffers! As you can tell by the title of this thread and my rank on this site, I am new to the world of pipe smoking. Here's my question. I want to do the salt and alcohol treatment on an estate pipe I got as it has a rather nasty ghost. Being as I'm 18, I don't have access...

I keep hearing good things about two particular brands, Tatuaje and Davidoff. So where do I start with these two brands? As I understand it, they are premium smokes and consequently expensive and to confuse and confound things they make many different types (vitolas... is that the correct...

Hey everybody! I'm Mike from Downers Grove Illinois. I have been smoking cigars for only 6 months and I find my self immersed such a gratifying hobby that I can't learn enough of. I can't try enough new cigars and discover new flavors. I finally decided to join here after reading many reviews ...

Back again, Puffers. I've gotten a bit better I suppose you could say, but a lack of flavor still plagues me to no avail. This is what just happened. I pack my Missouri Meerschaum Ozark Mountain pipe with some Prince Albert, and perform the initial light. My mouth is filled with nutty...

Hello everyone. I have smoked cigars off and on for 30 years. I've never had a need for a humidor until now. I was doing some research on humidors and found your site. After reading some of your threads, I thought you all sounded very friendly. So here I am. I never knew you had to season a...

Hey everyone I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I have been an occasional smoker for about the past 10 years but now that i have found out that I love cigars too much to not start collecting & trading. I am supper happy that i was able to find Puff. I am here to learn everything i...

hey guys. I am new to collecting and I am looking for some suggestions/must haves. I am in the process of building a cabinet already and have already had to step up and buy a bigger humidor to keep up with my addiction to collecting, and i will no doubt have to run out and get a cooler until i...

Hey all. Just joined after reading a lot of threads from recent google searches. Realized all the best info usally from this site! Anyway I have been smoking cigars for 5-6 years but haven't gotten really serious until about 6 months ago, then kind of went crazy in the last month after I...

Hello All :) So i'm still a Noob and i am looking for a short smoke i can afford to burn with impunity (and i'm poor). I'm looking for advice,feedback, recommendations, mocking, etc Very limited range locally (Australia) due to small market and HUGE taxes so i will likely be importing from the...

Okay, here's a chance for you FOGs to help out someone who's fairly new to the hobby/obsession. I've been smoking for almost a year and have finally built up a decent (not embarrassing) stash of cigars, about 120 of them. While I have upgraded to a larger humidor, HF beads, and a better hygro...

Go Pack Go! I stumbled across Puff recently and have really enjoyed the forums. Some sites seem very closed and almost mean. Puff was so friendly and positive I thought I would join. I've never joined a forum site, so this is all new to me. Sounds like the slang for that is noob. I have been...

Heya everyone! My name is Rob - I am a new cigar smoker in Riverside, CA (southern CA). I smoked cigarettes since I was like 15 years old and stopped when I was 34. I am now 41, and about a month ago I started smoking cigars. I have always liked the smell, and it was pointed out that I needed to...
