I was rearranging the cabinet this morning and found a half box of Upmann Connie no.1 with PLM May 2011 that I put away and forgot about. Double checked my spreadsheet and not listed there either, like getting a new box all over again, lol

That is a wonderful box code, I went through a few of those. Great find!
I was pretty excited to find them, I always forget how good a Connie 1 as I tend to reach for a Connie A lately but we shall see this afternoon how they are shaping up.

If you don't like them, I'll trade you 1/2 a box of Connie As for your 1/2 box of Connies.
Just finished one and man was it fantastic! So glad I forgot about themIf you don't like them, I'll trade you 1/2 a box of Connie As for your 1/2 box of Connies.

This is part of the reason I don't keep inventory. I like finding the forgotten box. I'm also too lazy to keep track of what I smoke. Only slight issue I've run in to is buying boxes thinking I was low, then finding out I actually have plenty of that that box. I'll get to all of them at some point so no big deal.

I keep mine at 62 plus or minus a few and find they smoke fine without dry boxingCurious. How many of you store at 65 vs at 62?
Or do you find different brands do better at different levels?

I like 62. I have not been able to achieve this in my large humidor though. The bottom is at 67, and the top is at 61. I need to add a fan and take some things out so the air has a column to travel up. Hopefully that will even it out. All my desktops are at 62 with bovedas though.
Oof, I just picked up a cube of 65s for my growing CC collection.Curious. How many of you store at 65 vs at 62?

Some may taste better at that, really not sure. Just may need dry boxing or perfecdraw use more often.

Hmmm, I need some 65's and 62's, Maybe I can pick up a cube of 62's before too long, and trade you half.
I ran into the same problem with my cabinet with swings from the top to the bottom. I have a computer fan on a timer that goes off 15mins per hour and helped with the different levels.
I found this rating sheet recently on CC box codes. Anyone able to lend some credence to this? Or is it complete BS? I had a ULA H. Upmann from @jasonatjl that was phenomenal so I'm kind of leaning towards it being true. But I'm not well versed in CC's to really make an educated decision.

Eh, I wouldn’t give to much credence to that list. EML is La Corona for 14/15 and was a very solid box code. And for what it’s worth, I’ve got ELU JL1 that are tits, though I don’t have much experience with that code. ARG is entirely too low and GEO, EAG and AUM were solid and not even listed. All in all, most any 14 box code has a chance to be good.

I have two humidors. One is at 65, that’s my NC and “downtime” CC humidor. The other is my CC “ready to smoke” humi and that’s at 62.Curious. How many of you store at 65 vs at 62?
Or do you find different brands do better at different levels?

Thanks for the info brother. Like I said I really don't have much experience with CC's so any information is definitely helpful.
