Sorry for the Long delay. I just wanted to thank jihiggs for the excellent package that I received last month. It was more than generous. If I recall he sent me 7 sticks and a few I have never tried. Thanks for the great package.

j0z3r:

I would imagine that in the absence of a water pillow, it would be possible to use a damp paper towel as long as the cigars were in cellophane. Correct me if I'm mistaken though. It would serve the same purpose as the water pillow, and even a small piece of a sponge, dampened, would work too.

Its a good idea, but if you take a ziplock bag and put a damp paper towel in it with a hygrometer, I would venture a guess at around 80% humidity or more. If I didn't have a water pillow (3rd item down), I would say leave out the humidity, and let whomever you are sending them to rest in their humidor for a while, which is exactly what they will do if they recieve a package and notice there is no humidifier in there. I save all the water pillows i get from cigar.com packages in a ziplock bag for up to 2 months, after that I toss them, but that's what I use for PIF's and such.

Kuzi's cigar catalog blending 101 developing your palate

Received my package from j0z3r yesterday and it was totally awesome, 5 sticks I haven't had the pleasure of smoking before. Two thumbs way up.....Thanks

Kuzi16, thanks....I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I look forward to some more wheels and deals in the future!

I'm happy to read that ashmaster.... I was a bit worried that my package would be too "newbie-ish" or something along those lines. Do let me know when you sample the sticks what your impression of them is.
