8 Cigar Sampler w/ Humidor $20 Shipped

[d94]

Cigars International offering it's humidor and cigar deal from last year. Great 8 cigar sampler with very nice humidor $20 shipped.

First Class Humidor Sampler includes:
1 - 5 Vegas Gold Robusto (5" x 50)
1 - Fonseca Serie F Robusto (5" x 52)
1 - Gurkha Connecticut Reserve Robusto #4 (6" x 50)
1 - Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Toro Maduro (6" x 52)
1 - Perdomo Reserve Cameroon 'F' (4.75" x 56)
1 - Reserva Maxima Corona Maduro (6.5" x 46)

1 - Torano Exodus 1959 Toro (6" x 50)
1 - Double Happiness Humidor (20 Capacity)

(They may make minor substitutions)

Looks like a Double Happiness Humidor, but that could change. Last time I got this deal I got a very nice Gurkha humidor when it said Double Happiness, and I'm happy they made the switch.

[Mr.DLucey]

First to post " Looking for liquor Deals too":beer:

Back to the subject. Which ones have you tryed before and do you normally smoke Cigars?
I don't smoke but on occasion I have been known to smoke a cigar or two:eek: once a year (or two).

[Fronic]

Sweet, so in and 2nded, I want in on online liquor deals.

[LiveSideways]

Says you have to be 21 in the checkout process... weak.

[mrgoodkat]

Its nice just for the humidor, don't know about the cigars.

I now live about an hour away from the shop I used to get cubans from. At 12-$15 a pop they weren't cheap but my god was it nice to have a smoke at the end of the week.

romeo y julieta are my favorites, which they never had a great selection of, so any size would do, but the petit corona or short curchill is nice.

Of course they always had most sizes of Punch which are always nice, and the much to famous Cohiba.

[Sofaism]

thanks

[downer]

the humidor could be useful :)

[Fr3@k3r]

i see in my future, a humidor style router!

[Orion66]

Thanks for the heads up.. Just ordered one!

[DarkVirusVx]

Thanks for the post. Just ordered mine.

[g0dM@n]

[zizux]

I'm 19, it said you have to be 21 though. Ordered anyway I'll just have someone else sign for it. Seems stupid that I can score a 4th easier than cigars... go figure.

[g0dM@n]

ya what's that about... maybe some states require you to be 21, so that's why they have it set like that? who knows...


zizux, i'm a non-smoker too, but occasionally (every couple months), i may let loose and have one with a few drinks. :)

[d94]

[Sofaism]

Mine was shipping Monday, should be here tomorrow... Friend of mine who smokes cigars (I'm not a cigar smoker, but figured I'd give them a try) told me that they should remain in humidor for at least 3 months before I smoke any of them, is this accurate?

[Fr3@k3r]

That's weird, mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow :confused:

[yog]

I'm a non-smoker too, but I enjoy a nice cigar every-so-often. I'm in.

[redrumy3]

39.95 now lol good thing i bought one

well it showed 39.95 before now its back to 15.00 so idk weird lol

[DarkVirusVx]

Got mine today. Got it in one day. I am shocked at how nice the humidor really is. For $20 I couldn't be more pleased.

[moz_21]

Do I need the humidity beads that it wants to add, or are they included?

[DarkVirusVx]

Do I need the humidity beads that it wants to add, or are they included?

Hmm I didn't open the puck, I'll check when I get home from work.


The puck is filled with that foam stuff that you stick flowers in, not beans. I'm not sure how well it works.

[Albaholic]

Gave up cigarettes a long time ago. But nothing wrong with a cigar a couple times a year. In for one thanks

[redrumy3]

got it today, dad loves them so hes happy =] thanks for a nice deal

[Springbok]

Thanks for this, I finally decided to get a set :D

[pik4chu]

Hmm I didn't open the puck, I'll check when I get home from work.

The puck works jsut fine, got one in my larger humidor at home. It is kinda finicky at first because there is no "fill line" so to speak so you need to judge how much water you need to add in order to reach a good humidity level. But after a few times you get the hang of it.

i see in my future, a humidor style router

lol good idea. Might order one just to do that since I already got a humidor lol. too bad its ugly, I like the one the OP has better :D

And Ill add another for "Looking for liqour deals" heh. Or if you see deals on these http://www.cigarsinternational.com/prodDisp.asp?item=CB-OMA5142-M&cat=107 namely the 'Moontrance' Coronas :)

:eh?: that stuff is almost always on sale at a few local places, sadly the discount isnt all that great (like 1.50 for a handle.. woopty-do)

[g0dM@n]

wow i got my shipment yesterday... think that was 2 days after completing my order...

anyway, how do i use the humidifier... never had my own like this... i always put my cigars in the fridge...

[anothermbdusted]

ordered mine. but it is a differnt kind of box now. i like it more personally. still $20 shipped

[Albaholic]

Got mine today. Same style box as D94

[Alacritan]

Its nice just for the humidor, don't know about the cigars.

You can get nicer humidors on ebay for $20, though with the free cigars, it is a good deal.

[d94]

woot..time to get this rollin!

Those arent really a discount either :( 19 bucks +shipping for a 750 of absolut when its 16+tax locally =\

And if people are getting a box like d94 then I might go for this as well. The one on the site was just too fugly to order, even if its a good deal.

Humidor care 101

New Humidor Prep

1 Remove and fill the humidity device with distilled water.

2 With a fresh sponge, dampened with distilled water, thoroughly wet the sides, top and bottom of the humidor interior.

3 Leave the damp sponge in the humidor, resting on a plastic bag. Make sure there is no direct contact between the sponge and humidor.

4 Install the humidity element.

5 Close the humidor overnight or for at least 12(24 max).

6 Open the humidor, remove the sponge and plastic bag.

7 Close humidor again for an additional 12, ensuring the interior wood has a raised level of humidity prior to storing cigars.

8 Your humidor is now ready.

The most comman mistake is that people will add more water every month. This can leave you with moist or even moldy cigars. If the humidor is to humidity leave the lid open for a few hours.

Next mistake is not adding any water. A dry humidor makes for dry cigars. Dry cigars burn hotter messing up the flavor and makes the cigar crack.

Humidity inside a humidor should be 65-75% 70% is best. You can read this with a hygrometer or by your own judgement.

Tips

A mixture of one part Propylene Glycol one part distilled water will help keep humidity at or around 70%.

I have heard and rad of people whipping the inside with brandy or whiskey instead of water to "add" to the flavor. I haven't tried it myself. I'm not a brandy or whiskey guy, I like my vodka.

Store in cool place out of direct sun light.

While the inside down ever 3 to 6 months.

Cigars are like wine, when age right they get better.

Remove cellophane

Fresh air. open the humidor one every few weeks(if it hasn't been opened).


Dry cigar can be "restored" as long as the out warp hasn't been cracked and the tabcoo inside isn't turning to dust.

To do so put cigar in a control area. A bowl with plastic wrap would work. Add a plastic bag with a damp spounge to slowly raise the humidity. After a few days at a high humidity the cigar's aroma will returning. Place back into you humidor.

Temps
Best 64-70F
below 54f slows aging process
over 75F can lead to worm infestation


I think that's it. I'm sure there better guilds online but I was bored.

Thanks for all the useful info

Temps over 75..... worms... its almost always over 75f here... should I throw them in the fridge?

PS when can I join a good cigar guild? ;)

[moz_21]

Indeed, thank you sir.

[Avyer]

Got mine today. Charging the humi now. Got the same box as d94 and ordered on the 2nd, shipped the 3rd. The sticks look great, no shipping damage. The box rolled one smells great, can't wait to smoke it.

Edit: Only 19 and got them fine. I think the 21 thing is to cover their bases where it might be illegal for purchase.

[DarkVirusVx]

I'm not sure about the fridge, it may get to humid. Maybe the basement, a cool closet or a room with an ac just don't put it next to the ac.

[Fronic]

Got mine and didn't prep the humidor. Thanks for the instructions I had to stray a little since I'm keeping them in my office, water from the water fountain and a paper towel instead of a sponge :o

[d94]

not good dude, you have to use distilled water, otherwise it'll ruin the wood
and a paper towel leaves a paper trail... lol

[Avyer]

Got mine and didn't prep the humidor. Thanks for the instructions I had to stray a little since I'm keeping them in my office, water from the water fountain and a paper towel instead of a sponge :o

I'd let it dry out a bit, and then get some distilled water. Paper towel is not that bad, but while you're buying the distilled water, just pick up a sponge.

[Fronic]

Already re-wet it with distilled (bottled) water, I'm tempted to light one of those cigars up but I don't have the time to smoke an entire cigar and I'm not a fan of re-lighting them :o

[BigJk-47]

http://www.jrcigars.com/index.cfm?page=cig_view&itemcode=HERF&rjr=wset%7CHERF

In case you need a re-fill! lol

Anyway,if I didnt use the humidor yet is that bad? I still have them in the box but I didnt get around to setting up the little puck with distilled water.

[Avyer]

Your sticks are prolly a bit dry now... Try and get them some humidity.

[d4rr3n]

Been a non-smoker my whole life........but I vaporize every single day to make up for it. :D

[BigJk-47]

Your sticks are prolly a bit dry now... Try and get them some humidity.


lol,I took the humidor into the bathroom and placed them on top of the medicine cabinet while I took a shower.I think they got a good dose of humidity for now.

[Fr3@k3r]

i better get to smoking mine, havent charged the humidor but its been in a dark place with no airflow so hopefully 1-2 are still good altho i didnt buy it for the cigars in the first place.

[g0dM@n]

i activated the humidifier... you just take out of box and whanot, and just twist it, right? i'm a cigar noob.

also, i haven't smoked one yet either... i dun even know why i bought it... i always buy stuff that's on sale, whether or not i need it... a VERY bad habit!

I have this same problem, but instead of just throwing them into some dark corner to be forgotten, I've turned it into another hobby that I don't need..

[g0dM@n]

nah, you gotta follow
oh wow... i'm a ****** and a half.

i'm gonna have to email that to myself. thx for the info! (wherever you got it)

[Avyer]

Wet all the sides down with some distilled water. Pour some into a shot glass or bowl and nuke it in the microwave a little. Put the bowl in the humi for awhile. 2-4 days the RH should stablize and be ready for use. If your planning on taking up the hobby and maybe buying a few more sticks, I would go ahead and get beads to keep the RH for you.

http://www.heartfeltindustries.com/ is a great source for them.

Wet all the sides of the humidor device?

Then put a shot glass with warm water in the box?

Maybe my older bro can assist me too. :D

[Anjow]

It was asked before but I didn't notice an answer and there doesn't seem to be one on the site - does anyone know if they ship international?

[Avyer]

Wet all the sides of the humidor device?

Nono, the box itself. The walls of the box.

If you have a spray bottle handy use it to wet the humidifer, if not just submerge it to about half way in DI water and then shake it to get the loose water out of it.

Then put a shot glass with warm water in the box?

Yep

It was asked before but I didn't notice an answer and there doesn't seem to be one on the site - does anyone know if they ship international?

My guess would be no. But you may try emailing them for a 100% sure answer.
