Q : Can
you please give me your opinion about the optimum humidity
degree in a personal humidor. (Robert S., CANADA. 11/97)
 A: It is said that a very
high degree of humidity is required (about 80%), but we
believe that it is too much for a personal humidor. Many cigar
merchants keep the humidity at this level in their own cigar
rooms, but they have their reasons: the cigars are boxed,
some boxes are varnished, and once sold the cigars might not
be transferred immediately into another humidor.
The best way is to have a cigar
room and a humidor, or two humidors: one for storing cigars
in their original boxes (75% humidity; keep varnished boxes
half-open), and the other for cigars that you will light up
in the next 15-20 days (between 65 and 70% humidity).
This is a personal choice. You must find your own ideal humidity degree
to use in your second humidor.

Q: I am
interested in making an order. Is tax included or would I have to pay a dutiable
commodities tax on top of that? (Neil, Hong Kong 03/98)
A: As long as the
quantities you import are for your personal use no taxes
will be applicable. Orders of 2 boxes (50 cigars) usually go
through without any problem. The shipment is labeled: "Not For Sale, For personal use only".
