I once bought an ammo box full of stogies from JR Cigar...they had lined the ammo box with cedar. Actually, I've bought more than one...one is now in the trunk of RoninLB's 911 as a tool box, and I still use the other as a humidore...it's works better than my $$$ humidor with the gauge and the green sponge thingie...
SocalSC? Smoke more often! Before the mold hits!
Seriously, I suspect there is too much mumbo-jumbo attached to cigars & wine both. The best cigar made is still a smoke, and the finest wine is still booze...
