Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I emailed famous to ask.
".......I ordered a five pack and five singles. The fiver had a dated slip of paper attached to its bag and each of the singles had one glued to its wrapper or tube or in the baggie with it......Are these the dates when the cigars arrived at Famous and entered your humidors?...." and they got back to me this morning. "Hi Tim, First of all, thank you for joining our Famous Smoke Shop family. And yes, you are correct. We date all product when it is received into the warehouse......." This is a great idea IMO. If other vendors don't do it they should.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I received a package last night from famous and purposely looked for this as well. All of the sticks I got from them had it on there.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
ok, so I have read the disputes about whether or not to leave the cello on, and I am still kind of confused. My confusion lies in whether or not to leave cello on a box purchase as opposed to singles. If you buy a box, do you leave the cello on each cigar or remove them? It would seem to me, that with the box and cello protecting the cigars, there is very little airflow or room for humidity to get to the cigars. Seems that it would take much longer for the intended humidity to be achieved? So what do you guys do when you buy a box? I'm sure I am going to get different responses, so if you could tell me your reasoning, hopefully I can make a decision on what to do based on that. Hope this makes sense, and sorry for the long post?

I think I'm normal...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Yes. It's a little high though....I'd take the water out, let the humidity drop to 65%, fill with cigars and beads, and shut the lid. Then you're all set

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
That all depends on what you like and who you ask. The best advice I can give you is to read the threads here on the forum - Reviews, Cigar Discussion, etc. The answers you get from your post will be quite varied.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I want the answers to be varied. I just wanted to know what the newer good quality cigars that came out over the last couple years may be.
Don't worry, I like trying cigars different cigars........... |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
You could get 100's of different answers to this. Just read around some of the reviews and threads about different cigar makers and make your own determinations.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Took your advice, they are now happily living in the new humi I may be investing in a couple of icepacks due to our A/C going out and my humis getting up in heat... other question, currently, I have a dual temp wine fridge that we're not using the bottom half of, could I just stick my humis in that or is that bad for the humis?

Long term storage in a compressor cooled unit might be detrimental to the cigars due to the way the compressor based units dehydrate the air, but with the cigars inside a sealed humidor placed in a compressor cooled unit, this effect will be minimized. How long is your AC going to be out for? A week? Less? If so, I wouldn't worry about it too much. |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
That's rough man... good luck with getting it fixed!
You're sticks should survive... not sure how much you could really do except keep them out of any sunny areas and potentially put them in a basement if you have one.... |
