Kaspera, may I ask what Cuban cigar cost you 40.00? Thats alot of money!
On a Fishing trip to Canada in 2002 I spend 39.50 ( before tax) for a La Gloria Cubana Taino.

We all thought the more we spend the better the cigar. This was so untrue. Sure the cigar had good flavor, looked great, but I expected it to be some near heavenly experience, which it was not.
Not humidor related , Just Cigar of the Month. Did anyone else get this months package yet. The reason I ask is because I've read several threads about a certain cigar in this package over the last two days that didn't get rave reviews from the people posting.
Any opinions..Mine arrived ( nicely packaged) by the way, on Saturday. An interesting assortment.

Hey, read nothing into my bad-mouthing that stick. I'm eager to see how y'all's (I gotta get out of the south) experiences differ from mine. My advice is to keep that baby in the humidor for a long time.. but take it out every now and again to give it a good sniff.. the scent is yummy. Another idea would be to chop it up and eat it for dessert.. the taste of the unlit tobacco is wonderful

I read nothing bad into any review. That's exactly what I intend to do ( age that stick) for a year. Come back next fall and say Joe was wrong, this cigar is the bomb!
I need to quit hanging out in here. You guys make me want to open all of my aging boxes.
I have 2 boxes of the Toro's and 2 boxes of the Robusto's, unopened, I purchased in 12/05. With two and a half years age on them, maybe its time to open the up! I'll smoke one tomorrow and see how they do.
75-80% is much too high. at those humidities mold will begin to be a problem. I find that the burn on a cigar at 65% is better than at 70% I age at 65% because i had those RH beads on hand. I have found no problems with that RH as far as aging goes. minus one or two cigars, those that came out of the aging humidor have smoked VERY well.
As kuzi said 75-80% is way too high, you should not exceed 72%. I did notice at 72% that my cigars never seemed to burn quite even. 70% is the industry standard and is the RH that ALL manufacturers and professionals age at, that why my aging humi is at 70. I try to keep my smoking humi at 67% bc I like kuzi noticed that they burned more evenly at a little lower RH. However I try to stick within the industry standards(67-72) thats why I try to be at 67 but I don't really fret as long as they're between 65 and 70 in my smoking humi and 68-72 in my aging. Just my take on things, experiment for yourself find what you like best. Sounds like you're already doing this since you've found that your cigars seem to be a little spicier at lower RH's.
