That's something hookah can't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinite Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 The beads should be placed in a shot glass or very small tupperware container. Like Night said, you can also cut some stocking off and use that. I'm not sure how well that hygrometer will work... you usually want to calibrate them. Bad ones can vary by like 20%. Take a very damp towel, rap it around the hygrometer tightly, and wait 24 hours. If it reads 100%, it'll probably work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDHarding Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 I popped open the little humidifier and took out the sponge.. if you can call that thing a sponge.. so now I can just pour the beads into this and it'll work fine. There's a mesh screen on it so no beads will fall out. Unless they're microscopic. Magnetic on the back will lock it in place inside the humidor. Sweet.

NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 if you want to pick up just a few sticks i suggest trying some flor de olivas http://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewcigar.asp?brand=369 madurohttp://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewcigar.asp?brand=311 regularhas you can see how low priced they are but dont let it fool you, these are a 90 rated and from all the cigars i smoked even $35 ones these blow away all of them..pick up a few and i promise you will find yourself buying bundles, i havent tryed the maduro yet only the regular but i suspect the maduro will be just has good if not better since it has a sweet wrapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Flor de Olivas are excellent value cigars.They are made by Oliva and are top notch despite their price. I love Olivas in general, great construction and quality at all times. The Casa Magna Colorado is probably my favorite stick right now. Tastes great despite a little bit inconsistent burn. My smaller humidor has a few Gurkha Gran Reserves and Legends and they are excellent as well. I still have half a box of Padilla '68 sitting around and aging . A couple Graycliffs are chillin, and I have a box of 5 Vegas Series 'A' that I'm eying. 5 Vegas is probably one of the great bang-for-the-buck brands as well.

NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 the series A is a pretty strong little cigar..lol full bodied if im not mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a nice, typical slight maduro sweetness coco, coffee, cream, and spice. All in a nice package. Starts off as a nice med-full and turns full by the last 1/3. One of my favs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 ya just about all of the 5 vegas line up gives you alot for the money..cant forget sancho panza's too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Never really sure about Sancho Panza because I've never really heard a whole lot about it. Thought of it as a throwaway brand.Surprisingly, a great cigar is La Herencia Cubana. Made by AJ Fernandez (Man O' War and others) and it's pretty darn good and the price tag is great too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 i smoked a rocky patel once, and i wish i could remember which one it was because most of all of them i smoked really didnt like but this one was very good i think it was the signature or the Connecticut, but it was very good and i never saw so much smoke come from such a small cigar..but it was spicy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Probably the signature. The Connecticut is a very consistent, not complex mild-med cigar. A nice nuttiness throughout, no spice really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f22a4bandit Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) My first cigar was free...and a Gurkah at that! Since then I've had Cohibas, Montecristos and Romeo y Julietas. A cigar is nice every once in a while, but the three day aftertaste is what limits my intake.I now want a cigar...!!!

JDHarding Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Well after leaving a shot glass of water in the humidor for 24 hours, it's now at 70% humidity. I took the shot glass out, but the humidity hasn't gone down. Must be sealed in pretty tightly.At least my stogies aren't dried out anymore, though a week in this sucker should make them pretty nice. The cigarillos are sure enjoying it. I smoked one just now, and mmm-mmm good. They were the closest to the shotglass, though, and not as big as the cigars, so they should soak up the humidity quicker. I thought about leaving them in the cardboard box they're sold in, but.. cardboard's not real great humidity. I bought some little silver-colored cigarette cases for them for fun. Hee.. I hope the drying of the stogies didn't damage them somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
