Will definitely try one out. I appreciate the tip.

As far as the humidity - I bought a crystal mountable humidifier, supposedly capable of handling a humidor that will hold 250 sticks (and mine is about half that size). After 36 hours my humidity has crept up to 62 percent (from 51 without it). I will have to see if I get near the magic number.

I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. If you like 'em milder, try the Perdomo Reserve Champagne R. I think it's a really nice, smooth flavorful smoke but not overpowering at all.
On the other side - my favorite Gurkha is the Titan. It is a big, powerful spicy long lasting maduro cigar. The Gurkha Beast is probably my second fav. Enjoy.......
