Cigars what you smoking.

So

I try to rotate like I mentioned but yeah. I forget until my numbers get wonky. The beads sound pretty easy.

They really are. Way easier than I thought they were.

Guess another trouble is I don’t know how many I need. The math frightened me away last time I was looking at em

I use more than it calls for, just because. My foot lockers have 2 trays on top of a big open bottom. So I put a pound in the bottom and the top bags are 1/2 pound a piece. It states on their site how much area they work for, but like Boveda's, if you use more, the longer they'll last and the easier it is for things to even back out after opening your humidor.

I'm a gawker and get in my foot lockers a bit. So, I wanted more than they call for.

I am using 1# bags of heartfelt beads in my Clevelanders, they are 300count, I am also using 1# of beads in each of my 48qt coolers & 1/2# in my wooden humidors. The 48qt coolers & Clevelander’s are good for 1-1/2 months year round, my wooden humidors need to be checked about every 3 weeks this time of year but will be good for about 6 weeks during spring/summer.

Romeo Y Julieta was my favorite.

Here's today's delivery. I'm really liking the Legends. Figured I'd try some more Oliva's since I liked the Serie V.

Looks like a good haul. CB has a lot of Olivas 2nds, it may save you some $$$.

I am having a Mojito after haying the cows. First one I have had in awhile.

Picked up this Romeo and Julieta at the gas station across from our job. Not bad for the ride home. 50x6

Are those what they sound like, just cigars that may not pass initial QC?

So I had a Rocky Patel Vintage 1990. The cigar was good and I really like the box press concept. However, my cheap cutter went haywire and tore the cap and then made the wrapper go wonky. So it was a bit of an ordeal making it smoke decent, but I really liked the taste and flavor. That cutter will be getting replaced.

I believe so, sized wrong, wrong lengths, blemishes on the wrapper, etc. if I read the description right.

I prefer a punch cutter or v-cutter on box press stogies for exactly that reason.

I believe so too. I smoke em also. Cigar page be having sales on em pretty regular. They even tell you which one they are.
Overruns are hit and miss but I have had good luck with them if you study the blend. Usually cigar page will at least tell you enough about wrapper or filler origin to get you in the ballpark as to what you’re buying. I’ve took a couple guesses as to which exact cigar they were but never been correct lol.

as an example. If they are described as a closed foot or triple cap. I’ll grab. Usually lanceros are good too. Nobody is gonna roll those type of cigars unless they are top shelf

Best friends dad told me to stop at his house on my way home today. He has been like a dad to me for years. He hooked me up !! Just wish it was golf season cause i spend a lot of weekend days hanging with him.

Cao lx2 lancero from way back my last one.

I recently bought a V cutter (another thing the FHC thread turned me onto) and my garage lighter (plus my Jet Line) has a punch cutter on it. I also got a punch cutter, flame adjuster and bleeder tool with one of the lighters I bought. So I guess I need to try that. This is only the third, or fourth box press I've ever had, so I didn't realize it was a thing.
