Deployed Question

RCCCigarRCCCigar Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 106
I came across a nice cooler that I think will work nicely as a coolerdor. I just have a couple of questions. Do I clean it the same as I would a tupperdor, like wiping it out with water and then stuffing newspaper in it? Will it moderate the temperature well enough to maintain my sticks? I have been told that we need to start turning the temp on our air conditioners up during the day so that they don't burn up trying to keep the CHU cool. Will the cooler maintain the temp from the coolness at night all throughout the day? Does anyone have any other deployed cigar smoking advice they want to share? Also, what do you guys know about the Arturo Fuente humidor bags and their Humipaks?

    Under the deployed Cigar advice: Do not buy Cubans from some street vendor; Do not leave your roommate in your room with your cigars unattended; Attach a bottle of hand sanitizer to the side of your humidor... do you know what the last thing they touched was? Just watch out for your stuff man, the first unit I deployed with was awesome. We never had any major issues with theft at all. The unit I'm with now is ridiculous, The have been accused and charged with more than theft!

    It is the Dead Camel Cigar Club. Founded by the least knowledgeable people for the purpose of learning about the art that is cigars.

    Good ol Balad. Flew into there heading into country and that's where all are logpac's ran to for resupply. I was on a lil fob about 8 miles, as the crow flies, from there. I bought my infidel tab there, that I wore in place of my rank, over by one of the px's at a embroidery shop. As far as your question, I have no input from my time in country. My plt sgt had a humidor and let me store my stuff in there so unfortunately I can't help.

    I really like those infidel tabs and I've always wanted one, but I have nowhere to wear it or put it. Maybe I'll get a t-shirt...

    Hell yeah man they're awesome. I hated wearing my rank on my flak and rocked that instead.There are some great hoodies and shirts out there. I have one that says infidel on the front both english and arabic and on the back says "Stay back 100 meters or you will be shot" in both english and arabic...lol

    Hell yeah! I saw one that said "infidel: everyone knows you're one anyway" in English and Arabic. :D

    DCCC...I've been in Afghanistan for 7 months now and heard of this underground band of brothers! I do meet a friend or two from time to time around base but we never talk about finding other cigar smokers. There could be a whole international network right under our noses!

    That cooler is B.A.!
