When storing smokes in my humidor, should I take them out of the plastic or leave it on?

Personal preference. The cello is there to protect the wrapper, however it is porous so it will allow some airflow. I usually leave it on.

Ok I have a torch lighter that I bought and use to light all my smokes. I was at an event this weekend where a guy saw me smoking and asked if he could get a light. I proceed to give him my lighter and he said “oh you don’t use matches, never mind” and walked away. So my question is do matches really provide a better experience?

Some people prefer matches, others lighters. I would seriously doubt that triple or quintuple refined butane has much or any more negative effect on a cigar than a match.....guy sounded like a tool, bring your own fookin matches azzhat!!

Nope. Fire is fire, it is highly unlikely that the tobacco leaf knows the method of combustion.

FWIW some people will only smoke cigars rolled on the thighs of virgins. This guy sounds like he may be one of those smokers.

What a d!ckhead.
Anybody that pompous doesn't deserve a light.

[NCRadioMan]

Probably the kind of moron that has no idea how to work a torch lighter and didn't want to embarrass himself. There are many more than you would think.

If anyone tells you they can taste the butane from using a lighter, it's in their head because butane is odorless and tasteless.

I know a guy that will only light a cigar with a burning piece of cedar. He won't even use a match because of the tip of the match isn't just wood.
Just as long as my cigar gets lit some how, I'm a happy man!

[Blak Smyth]

I know a few people who are completely clueless about cigars and they have asked "you can only use wooden matches to light, right?". It is a common myth amoungst non-smokers it seems.

What time of year is the tobacco harvest in Cuba? How long from harvest to earliest production?

Does anyone have a comprehensive life cycle of a tobacco leaf from seed to cigar?

With my new winedor, how should I get the smell out? I've read on here to use baking soda, but do I just open the box and set it inside?

That should be fine Tony; give it a few days or a week. Also, if you put the baking soda on some small plates instead and use several of these plates it might work a little faster -- more of bhe baking soda's surface area will be exposed.

Sounds good, thanks for the tip

If the smell isnt too strong you can just wash out the inside with a wet sponge with some baking soda sprinkled on top.

It's pretty strong, so I'll probably let it sit inside for a few days then wipe it down
