The guys have no schedule for today.  We talk about the difference in temps and humidy in the separate locations we are at.   What are your thoughts on a humidor that controls temperature and not humidity?  We get Darrel's thoughts on this as we go. Darrel is sipping some Captain Morgans Spiced Rum and Bill is having a Foursquare Spiced Rum.  Both are smoking Rocky Patel Edge Barrel Aged. Be sure...
