Mail call…
The readers have spoken – and they want answers. And while we never profess to know it all about cigars, we’re just happy to offer some advice that might help you get a little bit more enjoyment out of that next smoke.
This time, we have three excellent reader questions about snacks to go with cigars, dealing with plugged cigars, and choosing the right humidification device for the size of your cigar collection. We thought each question was worth sharing with the rest of the class – so we’ve answered them with short videos, below.
We’d appreciate you paying it forward by liking these videos, then sharing them with your fellow cigar smokers…and if you want a heads-up next time we do Fan Mail, subscribe to our YouTube channel and click “get notified” to be first in line.

Today, I’m answering a question from R.T. who left a question in the comments of one of our previous Fan Mail articles. His question, “My neighbor brought me a box of Cohibas from Cuba. They all have a hard draw. What’s the problem?” Draw problems arise from a number of issues. Check out the video below where I’ll outline what causes a tight draw, how to prevent it when you can, and most importantly, the best tool to keep in your arsenal if it happens to you.

James was wondering about an electronic cigar humidifier, and if it’s right for keeping his cigars fresh…so he sent us this Fan Mail question: “Is an electronic tank type humidifier too much for a 75 cigar wooden humidor? As it comes on to humidify, does it toss too much moisture out at once for that size of storage box?” While I think I found a solution for James, it’s a good time to ask the bigger question: what’s the right size humidification device for inside your humidor? Watch this video and get to know some different cigar humidification devices, and some humidifier tips for keeping your cigars fresh and ready to smoke.

The Cigar Advisor Staff is comprised of three good-humored, yet dangerously unpredictable writers who share over 60 years of premium cigar smoking experience. Traversing the tobacco landscape like smoke-shrouded Avengers, they wander (mostly because the fat one ate the map) in search of new leaf adventures armed with nothing but torch lighters and runcible spoons as their weapons. Each is equally knowledgeable on the matters and pursuits of the cigar lifestyle, with his own unique and capricious insights on various luxury, sports, automobiles and entertainment affairs - all served with good counsel for your reading pleasure.
