Celebrating with a Montecristo #2!

I’ve used Hiland’s coupon codes pretty regularly lately and never had an issue but tried to buy something today and none are working. Is it working for anyone else?

My Top 4

1. Gran Reserva Rosado 56
2. Don Carlos #2
3. Royal Salute Natural
4. Hemingway Best Seller

I was looking for a travel humidifier that could hold 10-15 cigars that wasn’t too bulky. I know the Pelican and Packouts are popular but I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I found this one at Menards. The brand is Guideman 9” waterproof case and it was $12. It comes with foam inserts that can be portioned out. I removed all except the bottom piece to make more room. This pic is with 15 larger ring cigars a lighter and cutter. I used a couple of 65 Boveda packs and you can see it’s holding steady after 24 hours.

Trying the Padron 7000 - my first ever Padron!

I’ve been collecting cigars for about a year and finally broke down and bought an electric humidor. I love the look of it and so far it’s working great!

Visiting Chianti Classico Region. Had some great wine and a fantastic stay at Borgo Vescine in Radda. Bought this Vasco Da Gama cigar from a local shop.

I can get this under-counter wine fridge for free. It doesn’t cool which I’m ok with. It has two separate sides. My questions are:

1. Would I need to have a small fan or if I’m getting cigars out a couple times a week would that be enough air circulation?
2. Would using Boveda packs be sufficient since it’s airtight?

I realize I can just buy a humidor but I like the idea of a project. I appreciate any feedback if you’d had experience with a wineador.
