Cellophane is not plastic. It is a porous material that allows for humidity breathing, made from cellulose. It burns like wood does unlike plastic which melts and stinks. Many store cigars with cellophane on (like I do) to prevent damage from handling, prevent spread of mold (if there is any in the humidor), and prevents spread of cigar beatles (if there are any). Thanks for the cigar content!!
Actually the manufacturing of cellophane requires toxic carbon disulphides which can lead to serious heart disease and stroke. I am sure cancer too. There is no need to keep your stogies wrapped in cellophane. Cuba has been making cigars for 200 years without it.
@@bosbevok1539 it's a good thing we dont smoke the wrappers!! I work in a Cellulose lab as an up and comming Chemical engineer, and frankly couldnt recall that! There usually are toxic solvents, but they are never part of the product (ideally!) Glad we are bothering smart gentlemen:) truly, good to call you my friend, sir.
Hello from the east coast have enjoyed a cigar every now and then Just returned from my first but not my last trip to Cuba new to the hobby of cigar collecting but I am hooked thank you for your videos
Amazing collection and taste…Thank you for sharing I keep some of higher prized Cubans in a sealed Tupperware with 65 buveda pack inside my humidor. Making sure temp and humidity is perfect being I live in the very HOT 🥵 desert 🌵
I watched your video last night. Extremely helpful. I love the LOOK of my humidor, but I find the tuppador much easier to maintain and control. Thanks for the video... love the collection.
Nice video, I'm in the U.S and I store my cigars too in tupperdores with cedar and no plastic, the cubans do this too .! I also have 3 wooden humidors but use one by Adorini and works great.! Best cigar video so far.
You have an extremely sick padron collection man! I’m going to have to step my game up a little bit in that area. For the most part, we store our cigars in a similar way. I mostly use large weather tight containers to store my cigars. With Boveda to hydrate my cigars. Very dope collection indeed. I can’t wait for the next video! ~D Lov & Wife - Lovers of the Leaf
Loved the video. Overcome with jealousy of all those cubans. Amazing collection, and aged absolutely beautifully as well. Fuente & Padron are my favorite as well. Get you a couple Arturo Fuente Hemingway Natural, Work Of Art, my favorite at the moment. Stay blessed and smoke the best. Love from Tulsa, Oklahoma USA.
I also started with the tupperware humidors and it works great thanks for the tip, and your collection is great to watch, i recognized some you your cigars and i miss smoking them, about Cellulose its made from wood or hemp through a series of chemical processes its not a plastic. i know lots of people keeping their cigars in Cellulose its all good, thanks for the great video i am still drooling.
the acrylic humidor to keep cigars on its condition for a little bit of time maximum for a one year like a travel humidors and you should seasoning its at least a twice times in that period but wooden humidors especially that interiors made by a solid cedar wood not a wood vener is uses for aging cigars process for a long time 5 or 7 years and should seasoning it evrey 3 months
I keep finding in Canada that cigar shops take off all the bands and add a plain brown band -- it's to deter kids from smoking. I guess your cigar shop doesn't do that. That's amazing
@@bosbevok1539 it’s not just Canada it’s Australia too. Surprise has plain packaging as well. So it’s not a Canadian thing - nothing to do with Trudeau. It’s to deter kids from smoking. The cigars I bought at my local shop are a mix of either replacing them or covering them up.
I believe that in the past they used to cover them, now some cigars come without the original band. I bought some Davidoff and they all came without the original band. I also noticed some online cigar shops added a note on some cigars stating that they come without the bands and only with the plain brown band. Governments shouldn’t be treating cigars and cigarettes the same when it comes to regulations.
Hi from the UK. Like you, I prefer cigars on the light with flavour rather than strong and brain blowing. Would really appreciate 5 or 10 recommendations to try. My budget is around £25-£30 for a stick.
Thank you for saying that new world cigars are > Cubans! I’m American so I’ve only had easier access to Cubans for the last few years (been smoking since 2008). And Cubans are good but my goodness, the quality control is absolutely abhorrent compared to new world cigars! Loved the tour!!
Beautiful collection, one thing though. Cellophane is not plastic, our cigars would not be able to breath with it on there if it was, it is derived of wood products. Also it's eco friendly!
What a great collection. I have a collection of 30 something. I love cigars and i have some nice cubans, but mainly smoke and store cheaper but good cigars. I am swedish and i am also into snus. Funny how alike swedish snus tradition and cuban cigar teadition are! Since 1700 we had hundreds of snusfactories in Sweden but 1915 they where all nationalised into ONE manufactory. The brands dropped from hundreds to around 20 i think? Snus was still high quality until maybe 25 years ago when Swedish match (what i think) started to buy cheap tobacco and rushed the process, and did not allow the snus to age properly, to rush the sales. And they started to ad bad flavourings and they increased the portion snus formats. (Snus comes in 2 forms. Loose and portion)The quality became really bad. I was not happy and started to make my own snus 15 years ago. I bough quality ground tobacco. Like Virginias, diffrent Havannas and burleys. The process is not difficult. One mix tobacco, water and salt, cure it for 2-7 days in moderate heat and add a base, like potash. Whithin time i became good at it. There are oaceans of diffrence tasting handcrafted snus you have made yourself, with good quality tobaccos and proper aging, compared to the shit that is sold in stores! Very fun to make snus of diffrent tobaccoblends and experiment with diffrent curing times. A wellmade snus is like a nice cigar without the smoke. Nowdays i dont make snus as often as i would due to higher taxes on rawtobacco! Keep up the good work!
@@bosbevok1539 The thing that is sold in stores nowdays are trash. If you want good snus you have to make it your own. I know they sell brands like General and Ettan in USA. Try it if you will, I suggest you try ETTAN loose. Its the best snus sold in stores, and is okey at best
Is beneficial to put the cardboard in with the cigars I am just getting into cigars and I want to start a collection but I want to use these containers because price wise it benefits me any advice
Can I buy a Behike from you? ha ha You have a nice collection. I may have to make a trip to Canada to get some Cubans for my collection. The American market cigars are indeed great quality but it is nice to take it back to where it all started from.
Thompson Cigars has a Platinum 12-Cigar Sampler for 34.95. I am considering buying it to try some new sticks, do any of these cigars sound good, and is this worth me buying? The Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve Toro Maduro and Macanudo Hyde Park I have smoked before and enjoy the other 10 cigars are unknown to me. At $2.91 a stick i guess how could i go wrong, unless they arrived at my house completely dry or something lol. Platinum 12-Cigar Sampler One of Each: Smooth-medium body. Empress Of Cuba Toro Habano, Dark Domain Toro, Cao Pilon Robusto, Casa Fernandez Toro Connecticut, Oliva Hellion Devils Own Churchill, Cohiba Nic Robusto, Montecristo Classic Churchill, Alec Bradley Prensado Rob, Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve Toro Maduro, Upmann Club Selection, Macanudo Hyde Park, And Zino Platinuminum Grand Master.
I would smoke cigars every day if i could afford it. I smoke around 3 cigars a week exeot in the winter when i smoke much less. I really love cigars!. Pipes are great as well, though i seldom smoke pipes. My everyday tobacco is snus though. Cant you make a video about pipesmoking?
Hey @bosbevok1539, great collection man. Im sure these would have doubled by now in 2024. I wanted to ask, how come most of your cigars are out of their cellophane wrap? Is that purposely done for aging them?
I’m not a fan of plastic. Yes people will tell you that cellophane is not made of plastic but that is only half the truth. The process to make it is quite toxic. Also I just like the tobacco to be in its natural condition in my humidors. Basically there is no good reason for having the cellophane present
@@AA-nh6rh depends how big. It’s not that it’s bad it’s just that you are wasting a Bovida pack. For the tupidors size you see me using, you only need one. If it’s a humidor and therefore not airtight you need more.
Just uploaded a new one. For beginners try Diamond Crown Connecticut, Drew Estate Blonde, EP Carillo La Historia and Perdomo Champagne. Also Fuento Best Seller.
I use tupperdores also i have two, i have two wood humidors also I don't really like much. The boveda packs last much longer in my tupperdor. I notice you said you get your Cuban cigars out of Canada I went on that site I didn't see a price list on the Cubans would you happen to have a price list on there Cubans. Im going to stop using the wood humidors.
Thanks Jay. I will see if I can find this. Most cigars from cuba are in the $30 to $50 range. Cohiba are $50 to $80, with Behike around $100. This is per stick.
Cuban I would say R&J Churchill wide , Ramone Allones specially selected. Other would be anything by EP Carillo, also My Father the Judge is great. Everything from Diamond Crown.
@@jase1239 I’ve done the humidors, electric fridgeadors, and everything in between. And honestly this is the best and easiest way to do it. I don’t care about the look I care about the experience of the smoking. And this way preserves it best.
