Only reason we have clouds up there as opposed to down here is that there is sunlight warming up the air/water and helping it rise. If you want to move it around you could use a real basic low power fan *either a PC fan if you can get a 12v transformer and feel like messing with that* to help circulate air around the humi... just my 2cents :) As for the humidity thing unless you have a fan in there or some heat source the humidity will fall.

I understand the reviewers have busy schedules and time constraints which conflict with the reviews they'd like to do. With that said, I'm sure that when the blind reviews start happening, they will be widely accepted by viewers and one more aspect of this site to look forward to. The whole intent of my thoughts on this matter was not to put any reviewer on the spot, or see how accurate their palate can be. It was simply to add another dimension to the already well done reviews. Maybe add a lighter side with a splash of humor much like we get from YQMA. My other thought was to have a team like Tom & Ed each review a different cigar. Rather than both comparing notes on the same cigar, each would critique his own cigar. Two birds, one stone. The same format could also apply to a blind review by them. Or one could have a blind review while the other performs a standard review. Let me sign off by saying I'm anxiously awaiting the first blind review just to see what type of feedback it generates. I think it would be great fun. S!N -

You mention logistic and cost issues... no problem, Do one member provided mystery review per month. I am sure that over the course of a year 12 of us can provide a cigar each month. Email me your address and I will send you the first one to review! (Unless Paul wants to be first... in which case I get to send the second!) Walt – The “Mystery Review” sounds fun!!

Atlantic seems to just hand them out to whoever orders. :D I still haven't had the guts to smoke one myself but ace did and survived. Hey Walt,

Larger dropplets will fall while finer (mist) dropplets are lighter than air. Walt -

Patrick, Thanks for clearing that up. In my mind, wet air had to be heavier than dry air, which is incorrect. -Walt zio698,

Patrick,
Thanks for clearing that up. In my mind, wet air had to be heavier than dry air, which is incorrect.
