Default Re: When your shipment arrives

Ill usually try one if they don't seem too wet although I would leave it unhumidified for a day before lighting up. I'd leave the rest for at least 2-3 weeks to calm down a bit.

Default Re: When your shipment arrives

I usualy have just enough self control to wait till I get home from the office before I light one up. I just don't think my boss would like to see smoke coming out of my cubicle.

The really bad days are when I have more than one type of smoke come in and then I am sitting there and home trying to figure out which one I am going to have.

Such problems. You have it so bad. Don't you?

I would do that, but the humidity in my house is like 76-78%!

I'm pretty good about waiting a few days before smoking one. A week is pushing it. If the first one doesn't smoke well, I try to wait a month.

Time for a dehumidifer I think. I have one and my house is about 63-65 RH all the time. My humidor doesn't even have a humidification device i it anymore, I took them out for more cigars and it's stable at 63-65.I have a cigar in there that is over 80 years old and it is in tip top shape.
