Photobucket...but I believe that is similar to Imageshack. I resize my photos before I place them in photobucket.

Beware of the slope my friend

Seriously though, nice pick up. I'm sure you will enjoy your new humi

BeerAdvocate · 06-01-2009, 09:30 PM

Great Start. No turning back now!!!

bigloo · 06-01-2009, 10:13 PM

Good start my friend.

I love the look of a new humi. Everything neat and tidy, everything lines up, space to spare, tetris is still a game you play on the computer....

bvilchez · 06-01-2009, 11:28 PM

Welcome to the looney bin my friend......but tread lightly.....if not you'll be sliding down the slope

but then again it might be too late.......you're already here

Adriftpanda · 06-01-2009, 11:37 PM

I wish that was how I started out! Nice starter kit lol. Go bigger is all I have to say, once you start there is not turning back my friend!

Jimbo14 · 06-02-2009, 01:08 AM

Beautiful, thankyou for sharing!

colimo · 06-02-2009, 01:13 AM

nice starter humi....but these folks are misleading you....there is no slope....it's a cliff and you just jumped off.....there is no going back!

pretty soon you will be getting coolers cause they are cheaper...then another bigger humi....etc, etc...

Enjoy!!

I would also suggest going with 65 per cent beads from heartfelt. Now here are the reasons; the analog hygrometer might be accurate now but it will most likely not be the next time that you adjust it. The digitals are very good once they have been through a calibration pack so that you know the differential for that particular hygrometer. The beads just make it so easy to regulate your humidor between 60 and 65 per cent and you get a temperature reading at the same time. Good luck and welcome. Any questions, please feel free to pm me. Paul

Thanks for the advice, it is much appreciated! I checked out Heartfelt beads and I will deffinitely get myself some 65% Humi beads in the near future. Is a calibration kit required or can I use the salt test? Also, with the beads in my humidor, would I still have to keep my humidifier in there as well?

you always remember your first , have fun filing it up

taltos · 06-02-2009, 08:43 AM

Chris, many times the vendor will throw in the calibration kit with the purchase of a digital hygrometer. I like them because at under $5 they are convenient and more precise. You can get different readings from a salt test depending upon how you mix the salt and water.

troutbreath · 06-02-2009, 04:46 PM

Nice humi!

Lol yes. Stearns and I pretty much figured that out on the chat when I told him it was a 10 pack. Oh well, to be honest I don't mind them at all and they didn't cost much either. And hey, their what got me hooked on cigars, so if I enjoyed the fakes that much.. I'm in for a treat when I start smoking the good stuff!

I like that attitude.

PM me your addy, and I'll send you some of the good stuff.

Hey everyone, just thought I'd let you guys know how my newbie adventures are going. So far I've tried the Padilla Series 68' and a CAO Black.

Padilla Series 68'
Really enjoyed it all the way down to the nub. Great construction, band came off easy in the last third and the draw was perfect. I also found it tasted great although nothing overly stood out. Might take a while to develop my palette before that happens though. All in all, a great cigar in my opinion.

CAO Black
Oh my lord.. this thing kicked my A$$! Will diffinitely wait a while before I try another one of these. Was feeling pretty cocky last night after a big spaghetti dinner and thought I could handle it

. I deffinitely under estimated the strength of a full bodied cigar. I had a headbuzz within 10 minutes of lighting and could only smoke 2/3 of the cigar.

On a plus note, I really got to experience that peppery taste and also learnt that I enjoy cigars that are mild/medium in strength.

Cheers,
Chris
