wah, stock up cigar!? no $$$...

main purpose of my humidor is to keep my cigar in good condition, no $$ to stock too many cigars..

you start to plan for stock up cigar liao ar?

btw, how much we can save for buying in a box? 20% less than retail?

[Throttle]

Yeah about 20 - 25% cheaper by the box.

 

 

Anyway, I viewed the bike just now so tomorrow I wont be going to Mah.

I will instead like be going to Hum Heng at Yishun Ind Park A.

 

Just call me and I will try to meet you somewhere convenient for us.

 

Cheers

[Throttle]

thats a nice humidor.

as you can see the humidity of Singapore is very high.

make sure you calibrate it well before putting your cigars in.

 

enjoy.

[Nightstalker]

so how much did u pay for it? can i have the link to the seller also. haha...

 

smoked my last cigar last nite. CS is still one of my fav. super low on cash now. think i'll have to lay off cigars fro a while.

[Sev]

i cover the hygrometer with a wet cloth yesterday to check its max humdity, the max humidity shown was 98%... so i think this gauge is quite ok, not out by too much...

problem is, just now i wanna put the cigar in, but the humid is 90%.... yesterday night only 80%...

think i need to get the humid gel ( what name is it? ), singapore's humidity really too high liao... :giddy:

 

i pay about S$100, the shipping is more ex than the my humidor...

get from ebay, if you get together with throttle, you save more $$..

[Throttle]

the distilled water is to help the cedar wood interior adjust to the humidityas cedar wood interiors are usually kiln dried

 

After a day remove the glass of distilled water and leave it in the aircon room.

 

Monitor the humidity. If too high, wait longer, if too low add distilled water.

 

should stabilise in a few days. anyway 65-75% is "acceptable" range.

Wah Throttle, you look really young in the pic!

[Nightstalker]

wa man!! first time i see u wif ur hair down. definitely look much younger. haha...

 

how in the world did u manage to get the ash to be so long for ur cs? u smoke it upright izzit?

[Throttle]

It's a combination of lighting it really well and even to begin and smoking it at the right speed and technique. Of course up to a point you have to angle it upright so the ash last another half inch.

 

the more you smoke the better you get. heh heh heh

wat exactly is the rite speed? i tot if draw too frequently on it the cigar will get too hot?

[Throttle]

exactly. draw too often , burn too fast . draw too fast, burn too hot.

the lighting and storage is important for the burn to be even and the ash rings to hold longer than usual.

 

I cant do it everytime.

[numbergames]

since you say draw too fast would cause the cigar to burn too

hot, is this the cause for an uneven burn???
