What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

[ecorrigan]

Would something like that fit in the existing hole in the front of my humidor or would I just have two hygrometers, one for decoration and one for functionality??

Does the hole go all the way through the lid or is there a space for it inside? I would say that it probably wouldn't fit but you could use one to check the other.

The hole goes all the way through the front of it. The lid has glass in it, so I can see my beauties. Right now, my hygrometer shows about 65% humidity. I'm praying like hell that it's just a crappy hygrometer, but I don't know.

65% is what I keep mine at. I don't like them overhumidified. It is damp enough here as it is now. In summer I up it a bit because it is warm and when I take them out I want them to adjust well.

let me know what you think. I don't want to influence you with my opinion right up front.

Influence away James. I'm not easily influenced.

It had a really smooth wrapper that my wife described as smelling of cashews. A smooth and effortless draw, with a medium to full-strength taste to it. All around, it was a good smoke, though not one that I would recommend for a beginning or novice smoker! It is a pleasant smoke that will last a while and gives the smoker a hint of hickory, coffee and hazelnuts. I rather enjoyed it and I think Gurkha has something good in this one. I might have to find myself a box somewhere!!

Is $35 a good price for a package of 10 Gurkha Crest cigars?

 

[DesertDan]

I would say so!
Cigar.com is listing a mazo of 10 for $99.00

They can be an extremely overpriced cigar but that sounds ok. The $99 example is how overpriced they can get. $25 a cigar?! I don't think so. They aren't that good.

 

[ecorrigan]

The $99 example would be about $10 per stogie, since it was a mazo of 10... am I correct??

Yeah but you have to buy ten or it is $25 each. lol lol lol Even $10 per cigar for that brand is high to me.

Got my rectangular humidifier in today. It's been filled with distilled water and is working perfectly in my little humidor. It's keeping my stogies at about 70% humidity. I just need to find a little thermometer that I can put in there as well. With it being winter here still, my house is kept a little warmer than 70-degrees, so I want to make sure my cigars are being kept in a most optimum setting!!
