Welcome to CA, I like the style of the Humi. Great start!
You may need to pick up a cooler cheap now that it is cooler off season!

I'm in the process of seasoning my humi, as well. It's like waiting for Christmas

Also, I've tried the Kuba Kuba and the Blondie. Wasn't to big on either of them. My favorite ACID's were the Toast and Cold Infusion.

I feel like this newsletter they're going to give to us noobs is...a little more than just a few pieces paper

Who knows, havn't got mine yet.

The christmas thing...............I hear ya there.

Pseudosacred · 02-08-2012, 11:01 AM

The Toast was almost like smoking a burnt marshmellow, that's the best way I can describe it.

I'm super excited for whatever it is!

It's been 4 days since I wiped mine down and set the sponge in it...I just want it to be done...

dwoodward · 02-08-2012, 11:34 AM

I've had the toast, was alright. The Cold Infusion just left a nasty taste in my mouth tho... took like 3 days to get rid of it.

Pseudosacred · 02-08-2012, 12:18 PM

I don't remember having a bad after taste from the Cold Infusion. I could be forgetting it, though

smitty81 · 02-08-2012, 03:53 PM

Time to go home and see what the ups man brought me! pics to follow...........

smitty81 · 02-08-2012, 05:12 PM

All siliconed up!

Gonna start seasoning it tomorrow.

Best of all, wife just came home and said to me "suprised you dont have a bunch of cigars already"

I told her I couldnt till it was seasoned but I was going to pick some up this weekend in omaha. Her reply was............"well, valentines day is coming up and I havnt got you anything"

Awesome!

chaase321 · 02-08-2012, 06:11 PM

Best replies a wife can give bro!

Congrats, it looks awesome!

dwoodward · 02-08-2012, 07:39 PM

I'd check the seal on the lid, looks like there is a gap on the back... Use a flashlight, that's a pretty quick test. Just place it in your humidor on the tray aimed at the humidor wall, if you can see light, that's a leak.

Awesome. Good luck filling it, but with the nutheads around here, that shouldn't be a problem.

Get your newsletter yet?

smitty81 · 02-09-2012, 02:24 PM

Hope the wife didn't accidently think the newsletter was just another magazine or junk paper and toss it in the trash.

Should I have gotten this months newsletter by now?
