Owe you one!

no prob man.... everything in order rite? i didnt open it to take a look though, juz to be safe

 

how abt postin some pics of it here. kindda curious abt how it looks

[Throttle]

Looks almost exactly like the one that i already have except that the humidifier is bigger and takes up more space.

 

I show you next time we meet. not bother to take pictures and post leh

[Throttle]

Prelight smoking at Hakone, Japan

 

heh heh

 

[Nightstalker]

wat an awesome scenery! bet it must be really creepy at nite when it dark

[Throttle]

probably, but the end of it leads to this:-

 

Too bad it's a little cloudy that day otherwise can see Mt Fuji at the background

my fren juz asked me why dun we put silica gel in the humidor? u know, those little blue-colored balls that are commonly found in camera shops? tat got me thinkin... can we use ta instead of PG soln?

[Throttle]

cant, silica gel absorbs moisture it doesnt regulate humidity

[Throttle]

you can however soak silica gel in PG solution an use as humidifier for short term basis.....heh heh heh...dont say i say....later all your cigars get bugs!!!

[Nightstalker]

guess i'll have to make a trip down to oaks to buy a bottle of PG. seems like chargin the humidifier in distilled water alone will cause the humidity to sky rocket. cos my humidor now still reads 80%.

damn... gotta keep it open in the aircon room tonite and see how it goes

[Throttle]

bro, just let the humidifier go...and use the humidor alone. good enough.

 

unless you are going to leave your humidor in an aircon room 24 - 7, singapore's humidity is high at 80 - 85%

[Nightstalker]

took out the humidifier long time ago. now i gotta let it drop to ard 70+% b4 i put my cigars in. wait and wait and wait....

[Throttle]

no need to wait, just put your cigars in , the humidity will drop as your cigars soak it up. unless your cigars are wet to begin with.

 

in any case dont be stuck onto rules. while 70% is recommended, it depends on how you like your cigars. I like mine a little softer so my humidity is up to 75%. some of my best smoking cigars have been kept that way for a very long time with excellent results. You remember my silky dark oily el rey del mundo choix supremes? in hongkong , it seems that people like it as low as 55% even. thats too low for me becos the wrapper can crack easily as you play with the cigar..

 

I'm smoking an Upmann No.2 while typing this message. hehehehehehe

 

the function of the humidor is to keep your cigars from external odors and to maintain a humidity between a range which will neither dry out your cigars nor cause them to grow bugs. it contains the original good condition of the cigars and aromas by allowing them to breathe, it is also beautiful to look at and admire. beyond they the humidor is just a box lined with a cedar interior. haha.

 

relax , enjoy.

As Throttle have recomended, just use your humidor as it is w/o the humidifier for now.

 

PG sold at most cigar store are pre-mixed 50/50, I normally use every third time I prime my humidor. The humidity in S'pore at this season is more than 80%, so unless you leave you humidor in air con room, it will be on the wetter side.

 

Sev and myself both found this site when google for "singapore cigar smoker"

and we have yet to meet.

 

Having spending too much time on messaage board, this should be my last post here.

Should there be any cigar smoker meet-up, or problem/question with the retailer, do email me.

enjoyed a Partagas Lusitania at the Intercon Lounge moments ago.

 

draw was just nice and smoke was totally dependable, toasty and satisfying.

towards the last third, it exhibited the distinctive "sweetness" of this must do double corona.

 

have a morning meeting (yes on a holiday no less) tomorrow and preparing to smoke a few more later after lunch.

 

i'm planning an RYJ hermoso no. 2 EL 2004, an upmann con no. 1 and a Cohiba Siglo III.

 

perhaps later this week we can do one at entity's territory?
