So lucky to have so many choices in reasonable priced humidors these days. Wasn't that long ago that the least expensive 50 cigar beginner's humidor cost over $300.
I'm a big fan of Oliva V sticks. As the moniker suggests, much more of a pipe guy myself though. A big part of it is because in Vegas it's so dry that keeping a humidor is a real chore. Constantly rehydrating beads/boveda packs. With the pipe blends just don't open the tin or throw it in a mason jar and it's good for decades, no maintenance.
Another good alternative is travel humidors from Xikar for example.
Lol wtf is going on with the guy on the left between the 40-50 second mark
😂😂😂Re watching that part made my day
I didn't catch the dude's name on the left, the one in the suit, but he always looks like he doesn't want to be there idk if it's just me lol just the way he is drawn out from the conversation and looks distracted
Dude looks lost as hell
Looks like he’s been smoking something else
They needed to do more research. It also seem like they were not so sure of what they were saying.
Thanks lads, great video.
we have a hipster who has found a new fad and the shiniest / whitest Asian I've ever seen.
You guys are always straight to the point and I appreciate it as a viewer, subbed!
The boys !!
How do you feel about using a humidor bag as your main method of storing cigars? This is for someone who isnt for the market for a humidor just yet, but smokes a few times a year.
tiggersrevenge it works just as good if not better. Just make sure you store the bag out of the sunlight and you're good to go. Definitely recommend the boveda bags and packs. One pack will last you about 6 months.
Thanks for the response. So replace the packs every 6 months, and what about the bag itself? Will that need any sort of replacement?
tiggersrevenge depending on your climate yes. You'll feel the pack when it starts to dry out. As for the bag, as long as you're gentle with it I wouldn't worry too much.
Thanks for the quick replies. Im gonna invest in a bag, and then get the acrylic humidor after I've upgraded my cigar collection.
tiggersrevenge no problem! Thanks for watching.
Can you guys make a video on tips on suits for short men I'm 5ft2 but still like to dress nice.
+Abdullah Masud shorter suit jacket, chalk or pinstripes, no cuffs, and make sure your tie reaches your belt! all will make you look taller
I don't know why I never took water pillow and now Boveda ziploc storage whenever I go see Mom for Christmas. Last time I went the 1st day there to Tinderbox in downtown 🌴 Palm Springs. What I bought went dry the 4 or 5 day's I eas there. They have what I need there too. I'll buy before going there this year. The ziploc takes up less space than a herfador. 💖✌😎
Might be a stupid question but I'm new to collecting cigars. Are cigars to be stored in the cellophane wrap they come in or should I remove the wrap before storing in my desktop humidor? I've talked to two cigar "experts" at my local stores and one has said to keep it in the cellophane, because the cellophane wrap will still allow adequate moisture in and help prevent molding or drying out if something happens to your humidifier. The other has said to remove the cellophane as soon as you place it into the humidor, but can't really justify why one should do that. Help please.
I've spoken with many cigar company owners and they all say you don't need it but a little extra protection doesn't hurt. So it's really a choice but we leave the cellophane on.
+Gent's Lounge thanks!
Another thing to consider is if you have flavored cigars, you should definitely keep the cellophane on them to help prevent those flavors from being passed on to your non-flavored cigars.
u can get the best of both worlds by snipping the end of the cello off at the foot of the cigar with a pair of scissors ......this allows more humidity to flow into the cigar while also giving ur cigars protection from damage and keeping flavors from intermingling
My cigars a bit stif! And the level is always 65! So should I wipe the wood more for it to be like 70
Worth a shot. Or check your hygrometer and make sure it’s accurate
Where can u purchase the bag at for the cigars.
So when I buy a box of cigars how long can I keep them in the original box unopened before transferring to my humidor please?
I’d still keep them in a Tupperware with a Boveda pack or put the whole box in the humidor if you have room.
I would love to use the packets but I'm on a budget. My current issue is that I'm having to "season" my humidor just about every week and I'm using those beads in jars (2) and a distilled water absorber and still having trouble keeping the humidity above 60. I still feel like I'm doing something wrong.
The seal on your humidor may not be that good. I would try storing the beads in a plastic bag with your cigars and humidity meter and take a reading there to see if it's your humidor or maybe even your meter.

I have a very similar humidor you demonstrated in this video brass hinges and all, except my lid has a glass top. I have both an analog and digital meter. I have both a foam humidifier and two jars of beads. I'm thinking I never really did the seasoning and leaving for a few days for the cedar to take in the distilled water. If I went ahead and did that, where can I store all my sticks in the meantime?
It’s only a few bucks per packet.
A great storage for cigarello's. Instead of figuring out where they go. When you smoke bigger cigar's
The apple flavored whiskey in the background made me stop
Why not just use a food container like the IKEA 365+? It's a lot sheaper then the acrylic humidor, and protects bether then the bag, and it's air thigt so a boveda pillow can last for a year and longer.
Happy birthday, George.
what do you guys work for boveda or something? Boveda packs are an outstanding product. But you're telling people just getting started in an expensive hobby to go out and spend their money on Ziploc bags
Bags that are less expensive than a full on humidor.
D Man B.. not everyone is a richfuck like you :) some people smoke cigars because they really love cigars, not because they want to show off.
Haha you're adorable. The point of this comment is that boveda bags are no different then 10cent Ziploc freezer bags. And telling people to buy them, is telling people to way over pay for plastic bags just because they say boveda on them. what you should do if you fall in that price range is go out and get a whole box of freezer bags and 1 boveda pack, and you got yourself a humidor for a couple dollars. instead of way over paying for a Ziploc bag that says boveda on it. try reading the comment before you go off next time. I'm all about the budget.
Sorry to burst your bubble D Man B, but the Boveda bags are just as good of value as Ziploc. That is because they INCLUDE a Boveda pack with them. For the price, they are equivalent to buying the parts seperately, they just did the work for you. So, whatever floats your boat, but they aren't really ripping you off. If you plan on making 50 of these at a time or plan to use all the extra ziplocs you had to buy in bulk, then maybe you can justify the DIY, but the point is pretty mute.
Ian L, i appreciate your point. but a decent size boveda bag is 14$. where as a gallon ziploc bag is pennies and a boveda pack is 4$. which will keep over 25 cigars at optimal humidity. To each his own. i would rather spend the 10$ on some cigars to get me started as a beginner though. the hobby is already expensive enough. If you only wanted to keep a couple cigars, then yeah you could get a minature boveda bag for like 6-7 bucks before shipping
Guy in the suit is the catcher. The beard likes to pitch.
😂
Those Boveda (And any) acrylic cases are really not humidors and not meant for long term storage. They are designed to display cigars for the short term.
Genuinely curious. Any info to back that up? I was told that traditional humidors were made of cedar to keep bugs out and for their humidity regulating qualities. But with the acrylic humidor and the boveda packs you are able to use much less because they seal air tight.
@@gentslounge yep you’re right. Acrylic is a great option for those who live more north where it is much drier. I personally have an acrylic because it holds its humidity very well.
Hah, we all know that once you start with this hobby these kind of humidors are too small to hold your cigar stash lol. I never owned a humidor instead I made a tupperdor and boy I was right :D
wouldn't a gallon zip lock bag function the same??
Patrick Cavanaugh yeah the freezer version.
do u have to use packs in seder humidor
yes sir
Jeffrey Ricketts no you don't. just wet the cedar with a sponge. takes only like a day too. these packs take a couple weeks
GentsLounge, I expected it to be a channel run by seasoned connoisseurs but it is rather run by a couple of high schoolers playing grown man. Quintessential gentlemen affairs requires some level of experience and speech abilities.
JET Strat if you can do a better video then do it. If not shut the fuck up and stop hating.
That's a pretty worn out defense, "if it's so bad, do it yourself"
JET Strat Why do they need to be old? Cigars are a hobby for all legal smoking ages. If the info is good, then it's all that matters. Sometimes you see young folks who are more "classy" than some old men that still dip a good cigar their drink.
OH NO IF YOU HAVE TO BE AN OLD CHAP TO BE ALLOWED TO SMOKE A CIGAR OR LEARN OTHER PEOPLE
One has to start somewhere right? How do you become an old seasoned connoisseur? When you're young, right?
Boveda packs are decent, beads are better.
Which Los Angeles cigar shops sell the Boveda's
Not sure. We get ours right from the website.
What a bunch of Hipster tools! I have cigars older than them.
Didn’t know Alex Albon smokes
The guy on the left looks like he's running for president with his fuckin American flag and suit!
very poor and amateur info... you guys should learn how to talk by looking at the other cigar videos
3:41 umm no lol it's not "yeah I can't even open it that's how sealed it is" you couldn't open it because you had to zip it open lol I laughed my ass off when he was like yeah it's so sealed I can't even open it, while he's unzipping it lol.
He was being sarcastic
Nick Wright oh yeah, I'm sure he was 😂
Second
One commercial after another. I'm going somewhere else. This may have been a good video, but if I can't see it, it is useless.
Guy on left is either super high af or a bottom feeder intern.
First!
These guys have no idea what they're doing.
We’ve learned a lot in three years
If you were looking for actual information go to cigars daily and zeal cigars. these guys called a 25 ct humidor a 50-75 😂😂😂 and have no clue what their talking ab. Great for comedy though gent lounge! I lmao when y’all talked ab your personal preference like y’all have even smoked more then a handful of cigars.
We are much more educated now!
The guy un the left is way too young to talk about cigars. And to dress like that. Come on, enjoy your age
