#12. Does TT really go second After BinDer on their Inflatable Blow Up Doll filled with hot Water. Does he really make his own whipped cream from.............

#13. Is Smokie really being watched by PETA.

#14. What does BadFish really do with those cigars he cuts in half?

#15. Do half of the posters on the CC&C board really smoke Cuban Cigars or just Over weight, Middle aged, Male Menopausle, Wannabe Gangsters, I get all my knowledge from MIN RON NEE, Paranoid, I have way to much anger and scared to do anything but talk $h!t on a forum instead of confront my problems in life Poster.

16. Min Ron Nee is the last authority on Cuban Cigars. What everyone else says is crap as far as Knowledge. I bought his book on eb@y for $10 and its the best book ever.

Did I get a good deal from T********? It was only 50 bucks for a humidor filled with 100 crappy cigars? Did I do good? Huh did I?

#A1noquestionsaskedhandsdownbiggestnoobquestion: Cut or punch?

Cor;
you think cut or punch would be asked more than "smoke fresh or age them first?"

No - wait - what about "take the band off or leave it on?"

The aging topic has been particularly hot lately. Cut or punch has stood the test of time.

I think humidor questions have got to be at the top of the list...

It's XX degrees in my house what does my relative humidity have to be?

I left my humidor open for 40 minutes, should I put all my cigars in the bathroom with a hot shower to steam them back to humidity?

I put an smoked cigar back in my humidor, how many times should I bang my head against the wall for my stupidity?

There is mold all over my humidifying element, cigars, the table the humidor is sitting on and the cat. Should I have used distilled water or 50/50 solution instead of Newark municipal tap water?

If my hygrometer at the top of my 5"Hx5"Dx"10"W humidor says 70%, how do I know the cigars at the bottom are getting enough humidity?

Should I put a shot glass of whiskey in my humidor to keep my cigars moist and impart them with flavor? (or a shot galss of Hennessey to give 'em flava'?)

How do I keep my humidor exactly at 70F in the winter/spring/summer/fall?

My kid/neighbor/dog/wife/friend/hobbit/buddy got into my humidor and dumped water/smoked/pooped/ate cigars? Should I keep my humi in a safer place?

I want your opinion on a humi...

Opinion: Cheap glass top humi doesn't hold humidity and glass lets in light which fades cigars.

Well I really like to look at my cigars (as opposed to smoking properly stored cigars), I'm going to get it anyway...

I wiped down inside of my humi with a wet sponge now it is all bumpy/rough/ridgey. Should I sand it? (it was sanded smooth in the first place dumb@ass, you fudged it up, next time be patient and just let the humidity come up slowly)

I want your opinion on a humdidor...I can have the 300ct Supremo for $200 or the 100ct Econo for $175...

Opinion: Get the larger humidor, the number one regret of people who get into this hobby is lack of humidor space, for only $25 more, it's a no brainer.

I'll just get the Econo and with the extra $25 I'll get some Macadoodoo's. Who would ever need 300 cigars anyway?

Most people buy boxes of 25 or cabs of 50. Badfish buys 50s and 100s. I have to respect that. Wait . . . no I don't.

I thought "There is mold all over my humidifying element, cigars, the table the humidor is sitting on and the cat. Should I have used distilled water or 50/50 solution instead of Newark municipal tap water?" was my best one.

Maybe it was just the "pooped" that did me in.

It's a proven fact that "poop" is the funniest word and or bodily function of all time.
