Storing in fridge?
#1
My humidor, cigars and supplies arrived today. However, I did not have time to begin seasoning my humidor, so I stored the cigars in the door of my fridge. Approximately how long would it be safe to store them in there?

Take them out.

Cigars are take up and retain moisture under certain conditions of humidity and temperature. Vegetables are work the same way. Any vegetable you place in the refrigerator will dehydrate and wilt after time. When cigars dry out, they lose essential oils that give them their flavor. Your cigars will probably not be tasty after doing time in the fridge.

Put them in a tupperware with a humi pack.

And if I don't have available tupperware what are my options? Also, quoting your entire post Jim because it is quite informative.

If you don't have tupperware use a ziplock bag, if you bought that 50/50 solution then just put a LITTLE bit on a paper towel and let them rest there till your humi is ready. If you didn't get the 50/50 then get some distilled water (which is all you really need anyway, the 50/50 stuff is a waste of money) and do the same thing

Damn...

Considering over half you guys here have T&A avatars, and at herfs get your photos taken with every attractive woman you can, not to mention taking voyeuristic long range shots of chicks lounging poolside, changing Buck's sig to Disney (rather than just removing it) isn't only prudish, it's outright insulting to him personally...

Enjoy!

My issue is that my wife and daughter can come on here on my tablet or pc looking for suggestions of things to buy me. I don't want them clicking on a link thinking it is like many and have reviews and come to a P0RN sight. If you have a warning before the sig I would be all for it. I don't have a problem with P0RN as I do look at it once and a while, but I prevent my 12 year old daughter from seeing it. It has nothing to do with me being offended rather than protecting my daughter and wife from being exposed when visiting a forum that is not geared towards that.

Should your 12 year old be cruising around a smoking site, that if I remember right, has an age restriction warning at it's entrance?

Also, how do you feel about your daughter being exposed to the many sexist avatars (not to mention posted photos) A LOT of the guys here display?

Smoking's considered an adult activity, and this is considered an adult forum by law.

Buck's site is Cerebral Pornsy. I wouldn't think you'd need to be a rocket scientist to realize it's a NSFW link...
Enjoy!

All I'll say, Tar, is that the link in my sig lead to a warning that VERY CLEARLY stated what was beyond it and offered 2 links. One link lead to the main page of my site, while the other lead straight to Google. I in no way directly peddled my wares and allowed people 3 distinct opportunities to avoid seeing any skin. If they cannot spare a moment to read the site name, the warning page or simply click the link out to Google, then their sense of personal responsibility has failed them, IMHO.

And regarding my link initially being changed to Disney, why not merely remove the link entirely vs. making me look immature to anyone who saw my sig before I changed it?
