The same is said on water pillows. They say they can be used (recharged) 2-3 times then you need another one. I have used the same ones for years. As long as they don't completely dry out, they keep on truckin.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I Used To Replace Them Every 3 Months, Now I Just Recharge Them In A Sealed Tupperware With A Sponge Soaked In Distilled H20 Laying Close To But Not Touching The Packs. Works Great!

You can recharge your Boveda packs Bill. It takes time, but it is not difficult. If you recharge rather than replace you have more money for cigars

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
has anyone had problems with humi-crystals putting out too much humidity? i bought some for my humidor over here in afghanistan, but im having a lot of trouble with it getting too humid. it is only a 30-50 cigar humi, however i was under the impression that the jar would only emit a certain amount of humidity, regardless of the size of my humi. any suggestions?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
What I forgot to mention is....I never spend money on the packs. I use them from vendors that ship humidified. Recycling at it's finest.

I am not that familiar with the crystals, do you have to add water to them? With the beads, you can add too much water. If they are saturated there is nothing left to suck up the extra moisture - not sure if the crystals work the same way. |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
i just ordered a new hygrometer, it was doing some funny stuff. and these crystals came "pre-mixed". but my sticks are hard to keep lit, and have that sour taste when they are too damp. im moving them into my buddies humi until i get this figured out.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
one other quick question... a buddy of mine just got a few makers mark cigars.. and a few others that were sealed in tubes. someone was telling me that they did not need to be in a humidor. is this true?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
From everything that I've read and learned in here, you should still put them in a humidor. The tubes are good short tern storage, but they are not "weather" proof. So if you were thinking about smoking it very soon, I would think that it would be fine, more than a week + i'd throw it in the humidor.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
hey everyone. I'm pretty new to the cigar scene, have tried a few and seem to like the real mild flavored ones. My current favorites are Cao Bella's Caramel flavored. Any suggestions for me to try?
Also, I know not to inhale, but my throat hurts alot when I smoke. Any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong?!? Thanks! <3 -Jenna |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Is it just me or are the Perdomo Lot 23 Maduros a very light maduro wrapper? They seem only a slight shade darker compared to the natural wrapper.

To get more suggestions for flavored cigars, you're probably going to need greater exposure for your question than this thread will get. Your best bet is to search reviews or general cigar discussion for terms like "flavored cigars", "ACIDs", "infused" etc. Or post a new thread with your question in general cigar discussion. As for the throat, you're probably not doing anything wrong, if you are a new smoker, it takes a little while for your body to get used to the smoke. |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Maduro, as the term is applied in the cigar description, means a more heavily fermented wrapper and not a specific shade. Some leaves/crops/batches will be darker, some will be lighter.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
How long should I let my new cigars rest before I can smoke them? I received two boxes in the mail today. I live in Texas so when I opened the UPS box I found the cigar boxes were very warm. They have been sitting in the coolidor for about 4 hours now.
To the question above: Some maduro wrappers, typically in cheaper maduro cigars, are dyed or altered to appear darker than they actually are, like Mike said. In my personal opinion the Lot 23 Maduros are naturally maduro and they do not try to dye them to make them appear darker. Just my two cents though. |
