Any wood, especially aromatic and soft woods can weep resin. Wilkey

:D Mine have been out of the box for some time. I wonder where they've gone? :whistling: Wilkey

In pulling out my empty Padron 80th box for Brian, I looked inside and was horrified to see significant amounts of sap oozing from the interior wood. All the wooden pieces facing the interior showed evidence of sap ooze. In the worst cases, enough sap oozed out to form sticky blobs. If you...

That was so scary on so many levels. ??? Wilkey

I disagree. If what you think might happen actually does come to pass, I don't think a blanket "sunshine and rainbows" program will be the best or most effective way to welcome these folks into the community. For them or for us. Think about it. These members may be disaffected, angry, they may...

Well heck, the announcement wasn't obvious then because I missed it at both sites. Got linkie? Those communities are so different. And throw ClubStogie into the mix and you've a bunch of disparate entities with different cultures. I cannot imagine how they will integrate, if that's the intent...

Rod, You...are...the man! CigarPass would NOT be CigarPass without you at the helm. You know that should you need any measure of support from me, you need only ask. Wilkey BTW, if he purchased these sites a week ago, why aren't there any announcements at those forums? ??? I would have...

If the beads look like big grains of hazy salt, then they are 100% silica. Clay type litter will look like gravel. Wilkey

I don't know for sure that the blue crystals are always ones that contain hex chrome or any other functional additive. I'm guessing, without really investigating it, that in some cases, the blue is simply cosmetic. Blue = impression of clean (i.e., toilet bowl cleaner). Wilkey

Well, boveda packs are basically salt solutions so they would pick up odors over time as well. How much they do so as compared to silica, I don't really know. Wilkey

Absolutely I am. I keep small containers in most of my coolers. From a chemistry perspective, anything that is mobile and volatile (e.g., the aroma compounds you detect when you smell a cigar) will be absorbed to a greater or lesser degree in the things in its environment. This is true for...

New release Upmann Magnum 50. Very good cigar. A cigar that kicks your ass and makes you beg for more. Wilkey
