Ammo cans work great!!! They seal very tight. 5 years, it will be interesting to see how they have aged and how they taste and smoke now. You may consider going out and buying some of the same brands that you have in there to see what the differences are in the years, as from what I understand the taste can vary extremely from year to year. ENJOY!!!!

The one that are five years old are some Cuban Punch's I bought in the Persian Gulf for cheap. I smoke one every three months or so, so they last. Unfortunately their expensive as hell here in Japan so I won't be buying any boxes for a while. I also have a churchill size Cuban Cohiba I have been saving all these years for a special occasion.

 

Damn you definately have a good taste then. I've heard that Punch's are supposed to be amazing cubans. As for the Cohibas the cubans that I have had were phenominal. Although mine were a robusto size, so while the ring size may be the same you'll probably have a much longer smoke. I wonder if I'll be able to smuggle in a box of Cubans at some point. I don't think I could actually do it, I would have a higher chance just keeping them in a bundle.

I had to drag this one up. Has anyone tried the Padron 1964 Anniversary Series? They are absolutely my favorite series of cigar except for the one Monte Cristo No.2 I had when I was at Whistler, BC. There is also a 1928 Series but I haven't had the luck of finding any thusfar.

 

That's actually one I've been searching for. Have yet to find one though. I got a new digital hygrometer and set up another humidor to store my larger cigars. Hopefully I'll be smoking an Ashtrel Lonsdale tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

We have a few very good tobbaconists out here. If you'd like, I can send you a few Padrons. They are about 8-15 a piece. They have a few boxes of different 64's on hand all the time, but the 28's are extremely hard to come buy. I always ask when I'm around the shops in Pittsburgh and my dads house in Hilton Head, SC. I've yet to have any luck finding one though.



The 64's are overall my favorite. Wonderful taste, but my favorite characteristic is probably the good effortless draw. It's excellent with a normal cut, but I've yet to try one with a V-cut because I never smoke at the shop. I need to buy a V-cutter.

 

Try putting a damp paper towel in the humidor it should bring it up to the right level. My first real cigar was a monte cristo I like them and romeo et juliets.

 

I did use a damp washcloth and that brought it up to speed for now thanks. Don't worry about the cigars I'll find them, there are still a couple places that I haven't checked yet.

Ah I just noticed your sig. Where in PA do you live?

 

State College. There are a few cigar shops around town, so I'll see what I can find.
