You're deployed to Iraq right now, aren't you?

Used to get pissed higher than a kite at happy hour, then buy a bottle and cigars after happy hour and forget about the cigars and leave them on the dash of my truck. I never forgot about the bottle, but come Monday AM the cigars would be dryer than a popcorn fart. I miss the freedom of those days but I don't miss the everything else.

They make small, portable travel humidors for $15 or $20. I can't imagine the plastic bag contraption being anywhere near as useful as one of those.

Yes I am in Iraq and I am looking at purchasing one of those small travel humidors to hold a dozen or so. It was that I purchased a few Cubans from a local merchant and they were dried out due to not being in a humidor. So I ask the large and knowledgable crowd here at APS on a "field expiedent" method of reclaiming dried out cigars before I had the oppurtunity to purchase one. And as epected the group here did not let me down.

...there's always the "Bill Clinton" method, provided a suitable stand-in for Monica is available....
Unfortunatly even if there was a suitable stand-in that would get someone into a bit of trouble.

BTW, in reference to the cigar store: SCORE!! You'll be reaping the bennies in short order. I done real good.

What I did:
Igloodor! Got a six-pack cooler that closed decently (those fliptop things aren't anywhere near airtight), and that's the home of cigars in Bogie's Bunker.

They arrived today. Thank you. Already started passing the box around. My CO was the first one to get one and then Top was the third.
And as for the "field" humidor, while it did seem to re-hydrate the dry cigars I had the first one I have tried had dried out so much that it was cracked and turned out to be unsmokeable. Is unsmokeable even a word? Anyway at least I know that it will keep fresh ones fresh and if not too far gone can revive a dead one.

If you have some cracklies, put 'em in a 70% plus environment for a while, let 'em reacclimate.

Can we legally send stuff to APOs now?
I can tell you for a fact that Cigars are ok to send (I told the postal guy that's what was in there, and put it on the customs form), but lighters are a no-no. Also, matches are a no-no. I knew about the lighters, but the matches was a new one to me. The package was already wrapped and taped....so....I forgot they were in there?
Alo, no porn, no Playboy/ Maxim, etc. Sure, you could, but why take a chance?

Good cigars don't come in those cheesy tubes.
I have had good cigars come in cheesy tubes and bad ones without cheesy tubes.

For me a couple of Macanudos wouldn't hurt and they shouldn't be too expensive, considering the price of some of the ones that you sent.
