Just a note to say hi to all you experts. I am stationed here in Iraq working on the infrastructure of this oppressed country. I used to smoke cigars years ago, but pretty much kept to the machine made versions. Well, they have Cuban cigars available, so I thought I would try one. After sampling a Guantanamera, I was hooked. Now I have been trying lots of different brands, but have found I like to puff on the milder sticks. I had a heck of a time getting the RH right here. The average RH is about 18%. I finally had to go with two large humidifiers in a 150 cap humidor to get the RH up to where it should be. Enough rambling, nice to read your reviews and comments!

I always had good luck with a 50 cal ammo can. It holds humidity well and travels even better. (from a retired Jarhead)

Edun,

If you like the Guantanameras, work on up to hand rolled Habanos. You'll be amazed by the difference in taste and quality!

Stay safe and ALWAYS check your six bro!

Oorah!!!
