What's Your Latest NC Purchase?

[Emperor Zurg]

Is it the same vendor or different vendors? I heard that some vendors over humidify their sticks.

Not sure. I imagine the same vendor. I've had these same 2 boxes for probably 3 or 4 years tho so it's not a high shipping humidity issue. I moved them to an area where the temperature should be more stable. Hopefully that helps. They take a few months to develop a speckling of mold but the NCs in the same container never have a problem. All I can figure is that the NCs must be treated with an antifungal like those used in pipe tobacco whereas the CCs must not be. Maybe that's why they say to store your CCs at lower RH than NCs... but I digress... Who knows. I'm not going to fool with all that. If they mold bad enough or faster than I can wipe and smoke them, I'll shitcan them all and not buy CCs anymore.

There’s a relatively well-respected and well stocked B&M near me that I’d been meaning to check out for awhile. Went a few weeks back and immediately upon entering I was hit with blast of humidity like stepping into a Florida swamp. Took a look around and several boxes of cigars were growing nice little plumes and I got the hell outta there. The guy at the counter looked at me surprised after only being in there for 5 seconds and said, “didn’t find what you’re looking for?” And I said “nope” as I walked out the door. It will always amaze me how many cigar “aficionados” who spend so much time in a lounge can keep going back to horribly overhumidified cigars.

If it wasn’t for one of the better Fuente selections, including the occasional HTF, I wouldn’t visit this B&M. But it’s close and on the way to my home.
They used to be much better, but they have neglected the place. Shelves are empty, carpet is stained; just kind of run down. They could use a little bit of effort and not very much $ to make it better.

This is what I really picked up today:
Feel a little better that everything is in cello.

My local go to place has gone in the same direction once the father handed the keys to the son. The place used to be standing room only, now we're able to play corn hole (aka bags) I the main floor. Sad.

The humidor or cigar and alcohol stash? Maybe it's best we aren't there?
