I'm not a cigar guy, but have some family/friends who are. I got 2 of these for the aforementioned graduation party. What goes with them? Any recommendations on bourbon or whiskey? ETA: Also a humidor. I don't want any unused ones to dry out and would be nice to have for guests later. |

Quoted: How can these be stored safely if one does not have a humidor? Just keep them.outside  I keep mine in th box my 858 flora finas came in. With the moisture bag thing and honestly. A guitar humidifier. Basically a sponge in a vented box. I dampen the sponge every few weeks. Box is in the liquor cabinet |

I have several of these Rubbermaid containers: Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Container, Large, 9.6 Cup, Clear 2024351 There are other similar containers available, just make sure you get one with a silicone seal. Standard food storage containers won't maintain humidity levels. Speaking of which, I have one of these in each bin. They last quite a while; I think I change them once every 2-3 years? Boveda 69% Two-Way Humidity Control Packs |

I'm not a big smoker, but fishing season is on the way and my brother brought an assortment on the big trip last year. Also - a big thank you on the storage recommendation. I usually buy a couple Macanudo Tubos a year and just keep them in the tubes. I was surprised when I saw their shipping address - they are between my house and my son's. |

Quoted: What fuel do I need to fill the lighter? I'm not a cigar guy and usually use a BIC or Zippo to light fires. @USMARINE1108 Butane. Walmart sells it, ANY liquor store will have it. The lid will have something like 5 or 6 different nipples for different size fills. Find the nipple that fits the lighter, turn lighter upside down, place butane can with nipple inserted, press down and let it do its things for 30 or seconds. You may get to a point where you get butane 'overflowing' around the fill - A: you dont have the nipple set right around the fill or B: your lighter is full. What I'll do with my zippos' before filling it turn them over, press the fill port just to make sure I have nothing or an air bubble in the tank. Not sure if it helps or not. |
