I've been absent from the forum for a while (and slacking in my DOF duties)... work and family have kept me on overload for the last few months. I'm going to try to make an effort to get back into the flow here. I miss all the CBidders {all except busa 😉 }

I hate that this picture has to be the first thing I post when I'm back, but with all the snow, rain, and melting around here, I found my house to be not exactly water-tight in all areas. I went to check on things this morning, and found what you see above. Mind you this wasn't even sitting on the floor, in small humi, but leaning against a wall, under a window that leaked. What you see above was sitting in about 1/4 inch of water. Thankfully, this was my only loss, but I did almost shed a tear.

No other words for now.

Be well ... keep an eye out for the DOF.

C...

I think I did shed a tear!

I'd dry box 'em

oh my! i shed one for ya.

Could this possibly work?

Could it really hurt to try?

My fiance brought me some ISOMs a few years back, got them too wet by putting a moist paper towel in the bag with them.

I dry boxed em, kept and eye on em, and smoke em without any issues. Just had the PSD4 a few weeks ago, actually. Was fantastic.

I was mostly kidding, but wouldn't hurt to try?

Sorry, man.

Damn Craig!! (said in my best Dad in the movie Friday voice)....


That sucks dude. Real bad. Those ones on the left of that pic don't look so good, but maybe a few on the right could be salvaged??

Nope ... will certainly try.

Some are worse than others, I'll group the boxes by wetness.

I'd unwrap them though. Take the cedar off, too.

How much water actually got inside the cello? Oh, and here is a plea for CELLO ON lol

I Fainted and cracked my head on the desk!

Some are worse than others.

that truly sucketh...

Yeah I see that, but as in spongy worse? Could you wring them out if that was possible? Or are they just really damp? If some were soaked clean through and had water pouring out of the cello, I would say dont even bother with them. Most likely will grow mold from the inside out, but that is my opinion. I am sure TG will be along shortly to correct me, or you could just PM him

Some have water more water in the cell than others.


Oh why couldn't my yard gars have been in the box that got fouled?

How much do you think this nightmare is worth?

Thats a nightmare!!! I'd try going to bed and waking up tomorrow morning.

Busa will probably be along shortly with a Lord moses prayer for you

I guess that would be better than:


Hee Hee

If Busa were here, he would ask the Lord Moses to please part the water from thine cigars. 🙏
