You probably haven’t been watching the weather in Milwaukee, but if you’re in the midwest you know we’ve had some pretty spring-like weather lately. Since my smoking room is my front porch, enjoying a cigar is definitely a seasonal activity.

I just got some new cigars from www.texcigars.com - a supplier of cheap cigars online - to bring in the new season, and I’ll be trying those suckers out. More in a little bit.

Our normally damp basement has been extraordinarily dry this winter, and my humidor suffered from a little neglect. I don’t think the humidity ever got much below 55%, but I’ve been trying to get it to stay in the right range. I think I may have to empty it and get another coat or two of varnish on it to make it a bit tighter.
