There is no exact science. I have stored at about 65% humidity and they burn and taste fine. Now here in the summer with high east coast humidity a perfectly stored cigar will actually absorb humidity when smoked outside which creates issues. So in my area the dry air in fall and winter make for the best smoking times.

Awesome brother. Thanks for that.

Club championship this weekend.
Punch on 2

Undercrown on 13

Played good yesterday, unfortunately back locked up this morning tried to tuff it out but withdrew on 15.

Curious what humidors everyone here is rocking. Ive been looking into them more and more lately, went into Davidoff ATL recently to have a smoke and noticed their really beautiful pieces, then I saw the pricetag. They were all beautiful, but the ones i was looking at were all between 6 and 7k and theres just no way. The outer wood wasnt even solid rosewood or burl walnut etc, it was a veneer, so swiss made or not the markup has to be into the four figures percentage wise.

Anyway....Looks like daniel marshall does some really nice pieces around the 1k mark?

Many folks on the cigar forum I belong buy Aristocrat cabinet humidors from Bob Staebell. For between 1-2K you can have an end table style that will hold 30+ full boxes. Forget the small time desktop humidors. Buy a nice piece that will be a family heirloom.

I use a fridgeador. There are some pics in this thread. Holds between 8-10 boxes and two large drawers. Super easy to keep at perfect temp and humidity. Was cheap too, like $400. By far best solution I have found for cigars.

The Undercrown Shade was a recommended to me and although I went out and picked up a stick, I haven’t had a chance to sit and enjoy it. It’s been a busy week so the goal is to finally enjoy it tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing about your experience

Thanks Kevin! Mild to Medium for me for sure...

Finally got to enjoy my first cigar which was an Undercrown Shade. Definitely have room for some improvement as I’m pretty sure I over toasted hahah. Paired with some cafe cubano and preseason football. I am all ears for tips and advice from you seasoned vets out there.

Nice shots guys!
Aging Room this morning with espresso

20 year old El Rey Del Mundo on the course. Boy that was tasty

And a punch on 17. Notice the green is shaped like an Apple. Build in an old orchard. Still have fruit bearing trees on the course. This is my home course. Apple Tree resort.
