Boveda bags suck. Just sayin. That tab falls off. I left an review on that place that everyone is prime. Boveda did send replacements. They fell off too. I burned the bags in my wood stove outside.

Guess Boveda is for packs only

Yeah. The bag is nice and thick. The closure sucks. I guess if you were to just fill it and never open it it would be fine. I smoke out of every storage solution I have so they don’t work for me.

I used Freezer bags for a few years. A cheap Sistema container works great as well. 10-15 bucks with a locking lid and gasket. not pretty but gets the job done. my Humidor is actually 2 52 quart igloo coolers, a Sistema and a DE/DeadWood 40 Count Pelican i won at a Puff N pint event.

I hear ya, but currently 2 - 30qt coolers, 6 - 7.4qt sealed plastic containers. Around a dozen shoebox sized disposable tupperware, 4 - wooden humis at 250ct, 120ct, 100ct, & 50ct.

I've got workarounds. Recent spike in influx, and oddly enough the Jaws theme playing continuously in my head, are gong to require a wee bit more working around

What are these 7.4 quart containers you speak of ?

---

Some sterilite type food container I found on Amazon

Search "Sistema KLIP IT Rectangular Collection Food Storage Container, 236oz"

Chosen for their ability to fit in a set of drawers I have that Mrs Beach doesn't snoop around in. Also, 7.375qt technically. I rounded

Igloo uses food grade plastic FYI.

Igloo coolers are underrated. I like them.

So where are we now. Is it back to the o p? Do I pick up drglnc?

Yea, i usually wait until the sent package is delivered before asking the question but If your the one to pick me up then here i am lol, The package i sent is scheduled to be delivered on Monday. not sure why such a delay as it is usually much faster then that.

I will send my addy over for whenever you get around to it.

Got it. Should get it out soon. Been to three of my locals recently and found a few at each place.

Pssst! DRG, the post office lied to you

Do I get a breather? Perhaps a moment to reflect on the decisions I've made that have brought me to this state? Maybe just a quick moment to freshen up? Oh no. The PIB gangbang that is now my life continues to rail on.

I nicely packed SFR awaited my return home from work today. Inside I found a handful of smokes from the Castro Bros.(no not that Castro) owners of Davidus Cigars out Maryland way.

NH these of course:
Breakfast Bliss - corona sized - blended by AJF and the aforementioned Castros
Reposado - toro sized - another AJF blend. Claimed to pair well with tequila. If only I knew somebody that really likes tequila
Civil War Series, Antietem - torpedo - RP blend from Honduras. Claimed to be strong. Challenge accepted
Hobson's Choice - robusto but a chubby one - Perdomo, like the Champagne but binder is aged longer
Isabella (no, not that Isabella) Cameroon - torpedo - This one's Oliva related with one of the rarest wrappers around
Lord Baltimore - robustoish/toroish - Plasencia, claimed to be the original Nic Habano puri that's regular production

Now this would have been fine. But no, word had gotten around that SOB is cheap and easy, and some hitchhikers wanted in on the fun
AF - 858 Mad - great smoke
Rm 101 - Miami Snow toro - NH
Avo Uvesian Maduro toro - NH
Torano Exodus 50yrs robusto - always liked this one. Nostalgic throwback to my early Cbid days
Flor de Ybor City maybe the no 85? - NH

Many thanks, Charles. It looks like your shpo has quite the hookup for interesting house blends. Looking forward to trying these as well as hitting up the tagalongs. Really need this winter nonsense to wrap up so I can catch up with the incoming fire

Another nice hit around here. Cbid is up an runnin fellas

In the mail to drglnc #9405503699300176310063 should land about Mon-Tues.

SOB, glad they made it earlier. The Torano, 858, ybor, and the AVO all have minimum 5 years rest. The room 101, not so much (maybe a year at most). Hope you enjoy!

Deadeye, thanks man. I will keep an eye out for the mail man!

So, this everning I smoked one of the cigars SOB sent over from The Golden Leaf (remember it has a location in HObar? ok fine, Hobart). It was about a 5x52 or 54 (ish) double perfecto. When I first saw these, I thought they were half natural and half maduro, but it was more like 60% natural starting at the foot, and the last 40% maduro. It was good. I would buy it.

The construction was excellent. Great burn, perfect draw. The natural part of the cigar was a fairly light color, maybe even Connecticut. It had a nice hay/woodsy/creamy taste and good body. When it transitioned to maduro, it traded in the woods and cream for coffee and some sweetness. I burned it to the nub until I started worrying about my fingers. Nice smoke Dan! If you don't like yours, you know where to send them.

Noted. Glad it was enjoyable. I was worried initially, but was more hopeful upon learning all of the info about them was classified.

Didn't taste like a typical Nicaraguan profile to me. Maybe had some Nic in it, but my guess is mostly tobacco from somewhere else - DR, Honduras.

I'm pretty terrible at telling where tobaccos come from, but Nicaraguan to me usually has a charcol(ish) taste (not in a bad way). This didn't have as much as that.
