Does anyone here know how to treat a humidor? Mine's at about 50% right now, and consequently all my cigars are dried out and gross. I read something somewhere about rubbing it down with some kind of water, but I can't seem to find it now.

Wow -- I was just cruising the "Food & Drink" section and just saw this topic on cigars -- my favorite of the many vices I posses!

Anyway, one of the stroke survivors at the American Stroke Foundation was a cigar rep previously to his stroke. Ironically (I guess) he did not smoke cigars (or cigarettes for that matter).

Anyway he still has connections at gerneral cigar and just yesterday at a fundraising event brought me a present -- a box of Partagas Series S Preferido and the new Xikar Cutter!

I could not wait until after the event was over so we could go smoke one at my fav scotch bar! I was in heaven

I don't smoke, but I have smoked these...

The outsides taste good to lick the cognac.

How the fock does cigar smoking fit into a Food and Drink thread?

The last time I "quit" smoking cigarettes I ended up replacing them (well, replacing the Nicorette ) with those -- I don't particularly like cigars, but those are sweet! (literally ) My problem was... I inhaled them anyway, so that didn't work....

Well, I originally envisioned it as a "fine dining / single malt scotch / cigar" type thing, but obviously it turned into a can of peas on a Ritz cracker -- which is fine, too!

Can o peas my ass!

Where's da peppas and sauseeege!?

I've had the Capones before, but I've had rum flavored, and they were damn good. Expensive though, but they were nice and small for work. Could go out, enjoy one in between shows, go back inside and getting ready for the next set of movies. I've smoked my fair share of cigars, and despite their alleged addictiveness, I don't feel the need to have them. Sometimes I think, "damn, a cigar would be nice right now", but my body doesn't shut down without them or anything.

Had to go back a few years lol. But a good cigar and yes smoking is out for most all anymore. I started back in the 50's and if you watch any old movies or tv shows. It was cool and the thing to do with mostly cigarette's . I smoked Lucky's , Camel's, Pal Mal for years. Old Gold in High School, Winston taste good like a cigarette should. Have one behind your ear , hair slicked back riding you Harley ! Oh well it is what it is , lot of your parents or realative's , sucking O2 .

Getting to the cut of the chase. I have quit, cigs., pipes I once owned a 5,000.00 if not more collection. So when SC, stated he cleaned,polished them yepper skipper, a beautiful pipe that is worth 500.00 a pop , (sweet) and smell good . Oh yeah !

Cigars, now I still love. But only certain times. Special times when you just want to relax. But it is not a cheap one. $15.00- $20.00 will get you a nice mild smoke that you do not inhale but set and do what you enjoy ! 1 every few days , week, month.

It is up to you. I am not saying this is cool , nice, and where can you relax and smoke it ? Now days thar are smoke shops for men. Which maybe at times I go to . Other times my home. Or out on the deck, on a boat in the summer.

A Christmas Present. Victor Sinclair (Bohemian) Hand built in Dom.Rep. . Outstanding mild, good smell cigar !

I am havin a fine one now ! Cigar the thing is so damm heavy ya got a have a good bight on it either that or ya drop it along with your dentures . It is nice.
