Build Your Own Tuperdor For Extra Cigar Storage: How To

On occasion most of us run out of room to store cigars. Well at least I do. I deal with the problem by keeping a medium sized, air-tight, storage container on hand.

Mine is 10" x 15" x 6" and will hold about 100 cigars not in boxes or two robusto boxes from most cigar companies. Just slip in a water pillow, a small jell humidifier, or a Boveda pack and you are good to go. Since these plastic containers are normally air-tight they stay at a fairly constant humidity level. Mine works so well I don't even add a hygrometer any more. If you try this, I strongly recommend that you monitor the humidity level. Better safe than sorry!

Normally a tuperdor only gets used around here for short term storage and there are a couple reasons for that. First, I smoke quite a few budget cigars, some of these can be pretty dank and I can smell the ammonia build up inside the air-tight container. I deal with the ammonia, depending upon how bad it is, buy either leaving the top ajar on one corner or taking the lid off every other day for a few minutes allowing some fresh air to circulate. Second, my main humidors are lined with Spanish cedar so I keep them stocked first.

So there you have it, my low-cost solution for cigar storage.

I was truly humbled to see this Camacho Cigars Facebook post yesterday. Thank you!

Eight O'Clock Coffee The Original

This sample of Eight O'Clock Coffee , "The Original", came right off the supermarket shelf the other day. It's a medium roast blend that included a large volume of broken and partial beans. Actually, I was surprised by the volume of broken beans as I poured each sample into the grinder. When the bag was opened, to the nose there were rich aromas of toast and coffee, while the pour-over aromas were a mix of cocoa and warm bread. I brewed and sampled four cups of The Original to be sure of my tasting notes. On the Eight O'Clock web site they list this coffee as "sweet, fruity and well balanced." Like most other coffee reviews that's not exactly what I found. In my samples there were semi-sweet flavors of toast, nuts and earth, with a hint of cocoa as the coffee cooled. I found the coffee clean and well balanced with a medium bodied, slightly dry mouth feel. Overall, The Original, from Eight O'Clock coffee brewed a flavorful rewarding cup

Tryst No. 2 Robusto Brandy E-Cigar

Featuring e-juice made in the USA, these Tryst e-cigars are a pretty sweet deal. The No. 2 Robusto Brandy is another great example of a cigarette alternative that give me cigar-like satisfaction indoors or wherever I can't smoke a real cigar. Like the last Tryst reviews, I've been puffing on the No. 2 the past two days while writing. Other than its brandy flavor, this Brandy model is just like the the other No. 2's. The tapered head makes it easy to hold hands-free between your teeth, the wrapper is durable showing no signs of wear, it produces a large volume of vapor and the brandy flavored e-juice tastes fantastic. You probably know I'm not much of a flavored cigar person, but these American made e-juices from Tryst have fantastic flavor, this brandy is really close to tasting like brandy. I've tried other flavored e-cigarette products in the past and the flavors don't compare at all to the Tryst e-cigar flavors. Add together the great taste, the
