How many times has this happened? If it happened two or three times in a row to one of my friends, I would suggest he never smoke cigars again.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Yeah Tom it's happened twice and he is thinking about calling it quits. I don't blame him. It's not for everyone but he can still chill and enjoy second hand. Just thought I would ask for some advice here before he throws in the towel.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Gotcha, Michael.....like a couple guys have implied, maybe cigars just ain't for him....but he gets an "A" for effort so far. ;)

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Does he smoke anything else? There is a chance he is actually allergic to tobacco. I know a girl like that.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

He smoked a back woods and was fine. I'm not sure maybe there is just something about cigars that doesn't agree with him.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Backwoods do contain tobacco..... You might try a panatella or a corona as some have suggested and have him slow down if he is smoking too quickly. You might also teach him how to purge his cigars every so often.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Is he smoking on an empty stomach?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

No I don't believe so.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Ya. I made that mistake tonight. Feeling a bit quezy now....I know better too. :sl

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

So what do I have to do to qualify for the private threads and what not. I've been looking but so far haven't had any luck :sh

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

What private threads?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Like the troop auction thread

You should have access in time for the next auction.

Also when I posted the ash tray thing you posted that I wasn't allowed yet or something like that. Just curious when I "level up" haha

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Ok so just hang tight and it will happen eventually?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Yes. With time and participation, doors will open. :tu

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Ok I can dig it :banger

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

So - is it possible to overfill a humidor? When I bought this I was told you can put in about 40 cigars, definitely have way more than that in it...

As long as there's no crushing, no. Tetris is a popular pastime of many here.

46% humidity... Is that your usual RH?
