Would you like a Cigar?

PARA45 said:
Well, for the first time since I can remember, I had a bad Camacho. o_O It was a Barrel Aged American, and I couldn't keep it lid at all. I ended throwing away, with only about 1/3 smoked. I tried poking it, and nothing. I could barely get any smoke, and flavor was all over the place from being lid so many times. On the first pictures shows the ash, and it was hard as a rock, I then got rid of it and there was a big hole. I was so upset. LOL.

I run into that problem on occasion. Its a bummer when you have to throw it away, especially if the cigar is on the expensive side.
 
Well, after last night’s disaster with the Camacho, decided to reach out to O-reliable Olive V Melanio :ROFLMAO:

Yes and yes. Well, my humidor which will be here in August is a 2500 cigar upright cabinet humidor. Until then, I run about (5) 250 cigar box-type humidors. But volume is high for me since I smoke all day from 5:30AM to about 9:30PM. So 5-10 in a day is the norm.

Did you buy an Aristocrat?

I used a converted china cabinet that was roughly the dimensions of a 2500 stick Aristocrat for several years... It had active RH and Temp control, was sealed up exceptionally well, etc.. and I had thought about contacting Staebell and upgrading further to an Aristocrat (their factory is here in the DFW area).. but when we moved last year, the "office" in the new house is a bit smaller than my office was in the old house.. and I also ended up moving a large 48 gun safe into the office... which made moving the 7'x6'x2' cabinet humidor into the new diggs a non starter.. so I actually ended up downgrading to a large "wineador" that can hold about 500 sticks and have moved most of the stash into long term storage in coolers with boveda packs while I smoke through and downsize the collection (its going to take me a few years to get through all of them.. but its going to be a joy doing it.. :) )...

This was the Aristocrat model I was considering buying...

 
@mdwest, I’m sure there’s a lot of us who are willing could give you a helping hand at reducing that stash. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
 
It’s an AVO Nicaraguan Synchro kind of evening :)

Here's my dream humidor. The Reagan 4000. Only problem is, it would cost at least $25,000 approx to fill it up. Dual zone, climate and humidity controlled. Approx $3800 plus shippingView attachment 409711

If you can find one at $3800, jump on it quickly! I actually considered that same cabinet humidor when I got the cabinet that I had prior to moving to the wineador... They were retailing at about $4500 most places I found that carried them back then (plus shipping).. and that was I think about 6 years ago?

The only downside I found in the reagan was that the entire front is glass.. which can have a pretty significant impact on RH and temp control.. even in a regulated unit.. and in a unit that size it can be notoriously difficult to keep stable if the cabinet is exposed to any sunlight or is close to a big AC vent, etc..

If you have a place in your house where you can keep it shielded from sunlight coming through windows and keep it away from "cold" or "hot" spots in the house.. I think it would be an awesome unit..

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike

I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
