I am a new subscriber thanks to RU-vid. I live in N.S., Canada having thee most Draconian smoking laws outside of a total ban. That plus our harsh winters makes for me a short smoking season. I have been enjoying cigars for 40 years plus. This video is a basic course for a new smoker. Now to watch your others. Cheers
Sir, well done for your nice and help videos! I would like (if is possible) your opinion. Soon I will travel to Cuba, I’m wondering what is better (talking always about humidity) to use use hum. zip lockbags or simple ziplock with boveda of my preference? I check a humidity ziplock and keeps around 80% when I keep 65% in my humidor. Thank you
I always enjoy your content Laurent. You can bring 25 cigars into Mexico and you can bring up to 100 into the US(non Cuban of course :-) for the US). I'd also recommend avoiding the travel case with foam liners/holders. They tend to degrade quickly.
Australia - forget about bringing anything - maybe 2 sticks. Using the bags to group loose sticks together is an excellent idea. Your content is well worth the subscription- thanks as always.
I just reuse the bags my dealer uses to ship the cigars. They come with litlle Boveda packs inside and are perfect for travelling. Works like a charm if you pack the bags tightly between your clothes.
Excellent episode. I was actually looking for big ziploc bags to buy. When you wrap the box with cling film, do you put a boveda inside as well? Thank you.
Yes I do!. I try not to put the Bobeda in direct contact with cigars not to overhumidify the wrappers. Some people do. It is an issue if you leave it for a long period. For just a few hours or a couple of days it is not an issue
Hi Laurent, is it possible to revive the bags you receive from cigar shops? I have a bunch but not sure if the humidification is optimal since purchasing. Love your content!
Thank you, Laurent. One subject with traveling I have always had is how do you travel with cigar lighters and more importantly fuel for the lighters. I am always miffed by the strict laws with butane. How do you solve this? As you know, it takes constant fuel when you are enjoying many cigars in a trip. Thank you.
You are totally right and you just gave me an idea for another video.! As an aviation professional I can tell you that Gas is banned inside the aircraft. Some airlines ban lighters / torches inside the haul as well. So what I do is: I empty the lighter and put them in my toiletry bag. And when I land I buy a gas bottle….
@@habanonews Yes, I see. I find it difficult to actually find a place when traveling that would sell a premium butane for a good lighter. Have you had any trouble with this? Like say Cuba. Are there many places that sell premium butane?
