Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Anyone use a herf-a-dor for long term storage?
Is leaving them in the foam and a plastic container detrimental, although the humidity is constant at 65% ? thanks

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I would have to agree. I keep a medium sized Humidor on my desk and just purchased a new cooler to keep the extra's in since I have yet to figure out how to justify the cost of a tower to the wife.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Yes meaning they work for awhile and then not a good thing for what reason?
I've had 40 in mine for 5 weeks and the cigars have greatly improved. Thanks

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Well I believe resting is more of a period of letting the cigar sit, get to your preferred humidity. If it's a freshly rolled cigar or one bought and shipped, the purpose is to let them 'dry' a bit, some shippers are notorious for shipping very humid cigars so they hold up in transit.
I, like you will wait to see what other more informed people say. |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Some cigars "age" as they rest -- that is the flavor and character of the cigar may change. This can take years to happen.
This is supposed to be more true of CC's than NC's, but this, like most everything else related to cigars is more about personal tastes and personal choice than anything else.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
B&M etiquette question: I popped into Georgetown Tobacco down in DC over the weekend and picked up 2 sticks. I left not planning on smoking one right away but returned about 10 minutes later and asked if they had a cutter I could use. One of the guys grabbed a cutter and put his hand out for the cigar. I said I could snip it myself and did so. I didnt think anything of it until another worker said they are always happy to cut for me in what I took to be a somewhat snobby tone. Is it bad form to want to cut my own stick? The way the worker voiced himself just struck me as very odd.

The personal injury factor does make sense Jeff, and I think I may be looking too far into it as well. I thought I would ask though. *cheers*

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Depends what you're looking for in a cigar. A lot of wine advocates used to drink the mature old wines, but recently have moved on to prefer the robust, full offerings of young wines.
So just keep on smoking and find out what you like...and maybe you'll get to the zen moment where you realize, just appreciate everything for what it is. |
