PCF Cigars (3 Viewers)

[Hot Nuts]

I wish I had those problems. Due to my intake issue, I must keep on the cheaper side. I now WFH in my garage and smoke at least 2 sticks during the workday helps to calm my nerves. Then nighttime kicks in after dinner plus I might start drinking. I'm a night owl.

There's at least half a box a week during the day. However, I could go into the office and smoke zero during the day. Again however, gas costs me the equivalent of the 2 sticks I could have broken even and less wear and tear on the truck..plus I'm more stressed not smoking.

I hate math on cigars per month, stresses me out. I do like the math per stick though. Mine is good to premium at $3 to $4 a stick but it takes a lot of my time hunting. Like scouring eBay and craigslist just like chippers, but I have alerts. I do know owners of a cigar shop that will cut me a deal.

It's egg math at best. Now solve for X.

Had a La Madrina shade beli tonight (ugh why do I always forget to take photos?) and at ~$10 it was perfect EV

Photos or it didn't happen is the golden rule.

That guy in the middle looks LIT.

I need to attend a meet up some day. I may or not fit in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Hot Nuts]

I keep hearing about Shade. Is that like a session cigar? I don't do sessions.

Someone splurged!

Someone splurged!

Avg $/stick on that order was $18.57 shipped. So a little bit, but not egregiously so.

That’s good. W

That’s good. Where’d you order from that time?

Does anyone else monitor their humidors using sensorpush? It's been the best solution to monitor my cigar collection that I've found.

Well shit, considering I already have a really good active humidification/monitoring system for my cabinet (avollo accumonitor) I really don't need this. But I'm a sucker for cool gadgets, especially ones that link to a smartphone. I might have to add this to the list lol.

I got one, well two actually. It's pretty cool.

Runs on bluetooth if you don't have the gateway thing. I keep my stuff in the basement as it's too warm in the rest of my house during the summer months and I don't get great reception off of them a floor or two away but they keep stats for I think like 20 hours. I know you can set up the alarm features(if it goes outside of certain tolerances it will let you know) and stuff but I haven't gotten that setup and I don't know that I will.

So far I've liked them. I don't know if it is really worth the price when a $5 digital hygrometer gets 90% of the job done, but I'm not sending them back.

I didn't technically need more poker chips either, but need is a relative term, right?

Cool. How do I keep a box of these reasonable until next April’s meetup or should I just try to score a new box by then?

Don’t have a humidor. Open to homemade ideas.

Tupedor!

 

[FestiveKnight]

Tupedor!

Specifically, but a Sistema brand Tupperware container from Amazon for the right size. Buy some 62, 65, or 70% boveda humidity packs based on your heat/environment/quantity of sticks. Buy a cheap hydrometer.

Profit???

 

[DirtyTIVA]

Specifically Sistema Tupperware? Will start looking and post a pic of the full box once I open it. These were originally supposed to be for the weekend at Barrie’s from a few weeks ago so my timing is off.

Yes, it’s the best option

 

[JustDave]

I use

Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Container, Large, 9.6 Cup, Clear 1991158​

You want something that locks and has a gasket style seal I believe.

I'd go for a Boveda bag, personally.

Golf + cigar = one of the best ways to spend a Friday evening.

Boveda bag is easiest. Why not get a humidor??

You all, @Lil Tuna a lot, but he had help, have created a monster.

So many classics in here — wow. If you've never had a Ramon Allones Specially Selected before, you're in for a treat; one of the most underrated Cubans, IMO.

Very nice @JustDave! Awesome collection you’ve got going on there.

Yeah, really nice. I've found I really enjoy shorter cigars when I wasn't expecting it. So them and long thin cigars. In the middle, not quite as much.
