April 1, 2009 by GodFadr · 3 Comments
It takes only a few weeks for a cigar to become dry in adverse conditions, but it takes a few months to restore them. And although dry cigars could be brought back to an acceptable smoking condition, they will probably never be as good as they originally were.
So an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Don’t let a good cigar go bad. Read up on humidors and storage options on this website. Read more
Buy the Godfather a Cigar (or a cup of coffee)!How Long Does it Take to Smoke a Cigar?
November 7, 2008 by GodFadr · 5 Comments
This is a surprisingly common question I get but it is an almost impossible answer. My friend Tommy laughs when I can make a smoke last as long as the “recommended smoke time.”
In a nutshell, the bigger they are the longer they smoke (like you had to go to a Cigar site to figure that out, huh?). Ok, ok, here are few benchmarks…
Presidente (8” – 10”) – about 1 to 1 ½ hours.
Double Corona, Churchill, Lonsdale (7 ½” – 8”) – about 45 minutes to an hour.
Corona Grandes, Corona Extra, Rubusto, Belicoso, Pyramid (5”-7”) – about 30 – 45 minutes.
Petite Corona, Culebra, Ascot – under 30 minutes.

Mold!
Horrors! You open your humidor to grab and smoke and what do you find? Mold! To break the “mold-cycle,” you’ll need to get all potentially contaminated cigars out of your “regular” system while you clean it out.
While you’re cleaning your humidor, you’ll have to find temporary quarters for your cigars. First, wipe off the contaminated cigars with a clean paper towel, slightly moistened with distilled water. (Be careful – you don’t want to get the cigars any soggier than they already are!) Separate the cigars you know were contaminated from the others. Smoke them as soon as possible. Read more
