Yes I'm a newbie and the other day I bought my first humidor. Thanks to the info I found here I realized the Hygrometer that came with the box was a POS so I took it (the Hygro) back to the cigar shop where I bought it. I bought a digital Hygro this morning so I didnt want to exchange the POS. I had hopes of trading it for a nice smoke. Well I talked to the owner and he gave me 2 nice smokes for the POS. I got a Joya De Nicaragua Celibration and a Punch Royal Coronation. Pretty good trade for A POS hygrometer if I do say so. I'll be visiting Bob often in the future. I also signed up for a Poker Night sponsered by Punch. For a $35 buy in I'll get a 8 stick sampler and the chance to win more. Sounds like a lot of fun to me.
