Humador

I got some cigars from a neighbor a few days ago so figured I'd get me a humador to keep em in. Went to the PX and found one for about $50 so I got it. It didnt come with any papers or anything so I'm not sure what to do with it. I mounted the gauge and some other round thing with a bunch of holes in it. Am I suppose to put anything in it somwhere or is that it. How do I work this thing !! Thanks for the help yall

haha, sry I don't have an answer, a buddy and I just installed new suspension in the front and back of his car, with Zero instructions. "how do I get this thing off the end of the old strut? I dunno, maybe the spring has some tension on it and won't let it off, take the spring compressor off. I can't get the second one off either. well point it at something not valuable and . . . " good times
good luck, lemme know if you need help gettin' rid of those cigars.

You need to soak the 'round thing with holes' in some water.

There's an episode on Seinfeld called " The watch ". There's a scene where Kramer is acting *suave* while smoking a cigar and somehow his hair catches on fire.
It's classic.

I think you're supposed to used distilled water.

Like almost everything, though, my palatte isn't refined enough to notice the difference if you do it "right" or not...

Ohhhhhh. Thanks for reminding me about that one!
*scratches head* "Wait... have I seen that episode?"
I'll have to get back to you on that one.

There are a few episodes regarding a cigar. I wasn't sure which one you were talking about.

Cheers!

Yes, use distilled water in the humidifier. Also, the guage should be adjusted beforehand. Go to http://www.cigarsinternational.com/index.asp and they have some great instructions there. Also some GREAT cigars. If you like a medium to full flavor try the 5 Vegas A's. My favorite.
