Cigar Modules and Humidors

The term module defines a type of cigar. There are 42 different modules integrated in the category of Cuban cigars.

The main families of cigars:

The mini-Panatellas: They have less than 120 mm in length and 12.4 mm in diameter.

The half-cups: They have less than 120 mm in length and between 12.4 and 14 mm in diameter.

The Panatellas: They have between 120 and 155 mm in length and between 14 and 15.6 mm in diameter.

The Coronas: This is the conventional module. These cigars have between 130 and 145 mm in length and between 15.6 and 17.7 mm in diameter. The Corona family includes the small Coronas (105 to 130 mm in length), large Coronas (145 to 160 mm in length) and Lonsdales (over 160 mm in length). All Coronas have the same diameter.

The Corona Gordas: They have 145 to 160 mm in length and a diameter of 17.7 to 19 mm.

The Churchills: This is the king of all modules. These cigars have a diameter between 17.7 and 19 mm. Their length is greater than 160 mm.

The Especiales: They have more than 230 mm in length and a diameter between 17.7 and 19 mm.

The Robustos: A cigar has less than 130 mm in length and a diameter between 19 and 20 mm.

The Double Coronas: Their diameter is similar to that of Robustos, but they have more than 180 mm in length.

Choose a module

The diameter and length of a cigar influence its taste directly. It is important to know that big cigars are usually smoked more easily than small ones. Most of them have a cylindrical body, but they usually come in a wide variety of shapes. The bullet-shaped cigars are some of the most popular shapes.
You can choose a different type of cigar from your cigar humidor Griffin for every moment of the day. By cons, you should know that cigar lovers who smoke big cigars like Churchill, Robusto or Double Corona cigars will struggle to go back to the smaller cigars. The brands should also be selected according to their taste because a different perfect taste for every moment of the day.

Cellophane tubes

Some low-end cigars hide their faults in a luxurious dressing, but this is not a rule. For example, Davidoff and Romeo y Julieta are very popular and yet their quality is not quite the best. It is generally better to spend money on an unknown brand that on a brand of cigars which come in a tube, but you can give it a try if you have heard of it.
Cellophane (which is actually polypropylene) is useful for preserving cigars, but it is imperative to remove the protective coating before placing your precious modules in a humidor.

Color

There are many shades of cigars, but it is wrong to believe that the color and the cigar humidor used are directly related to the quality of the cigar. The color is determined by the nature of the leaf and its fermentation. By cons, it is known that each cigar is unique, but you should not judge its quality based on the color because you will miss out on its wonders. Similarly, it is wrong to believe that dark cigars are stronger than the clear ones.

Heat Pumps

A heat pump works more or less like a refrigerator, only that it has an opposite purpose. The interior of the refrigerator is a heat exchanger system, which removes the warm air, so that the temperature inside the refrigerator becomes lowered. The heat pump withdraws the heat. The heat pump then absorbs the heat again, but a higher temperature is obtained in order to heat water for industrial purposes.

image of heat pump.Heat sources

The heat sources used are the soil, groundwater or the atmosphere. The soil has a depth of 10 m and a constant temperature of +10 degrees Celsius in winter. First, a hole at least 10 m deep is dug in the ground. Two connected tubes go through this hole, the heat transfer medium being a liquid. The heat is removed and the rising liquid is transported in the heat pump in order for a higher level temperature to be available for heating purposes. Use only high quality plumbing tools. Similar work soil collectors are to be routed at a depth of about 1 m to 1.5 m. Longer tubes are laid in the ground for sufficient heat to be escape, so that the heat pump reaches the higher level required. Groundwater, pumped up blogs and the heat from the water enable the heat pump to reach the higher level required. The cooled water travels through the tubes into the ground. The outside air can be sucked in and sent to a heat pump.

Heat pump costs

You must have in mind the costs necessary for the planning, preparation and installation of a heat pump, but also for the fact that they depend on the local conditions very much. Experts have also reached a consensus and claim that heat pumps reach the highest level of efficiency when in the floor.

Heat pump costs - Planning is important

A heat pump basically generates energy by reversing the so-called combined heat and power process - that is the process that all refrigerators use every day. In principle, heat pumps take the energy from the ground, air or water sources and generate excess heat. These different functional principles give you a hint on the preparatory measures required for the installation of heat pumps. Dug pits or shafts and devices are appropriate to the setting up of the heating support. Of course, it also depends on the surface to be covered, a larger surface involving more money. Therefore, the cost estimates with heat pumps are not universal. Therefore, it is recommended that you ask for the opinion of specialized companies before making a move.



General heat pump costs

Apart from these costs, you also have to take some precautions with regard to the installation of the heat pump and efficient insulation planning, including well-insulating windows. Thus, you should seek to make long-term savings by operating a heat pump. Ideally, the heat pump can provide hot water through solar panels, which can further submit the hot water to the heating system. If the system also has sufficiently large hot water storage heaters, you can generate heat during the day and save it so that you can use it in the evening. Heat pump costs are very relative because they are influenced by a lot of factors, some of them not being within your reach

Inter Casino Gives Young Talented People a Unique Opportunity

Inter Casino has always been a slightly different online casino. It was one of the first casinos people went to in 1996 and has offered excellent online casino games and promotions ever since.

Inter Casino retained this motto and welcomed its sponsors at "Welcome to the Extraordinary Competition".

The casino invited new and experienced filmmakers to submit video clips lasting 40 seconds with an extraordinary interpretation. The closing date for entries was July, 25, 2011. The online casino launched a new mini-site where all its clips can be viewed. The action started at the end of May and many short films have already been uploaded on the site. The submitted works were judged by a list of leading personalities of the film industry. The list includes actor Mathew Horne, film journalist Joe Utichi and Elliot Grove, founder of the Raindance Film Festival as well as Alex Gal, marketing vice president at Inter Casino.

Two prizes awaited the winners. The first prize was awarded to the film the jury chose to be the best. The prize was a trip to the Cannes Film Festival the following year, a screening at the Raindance Film Festival 2010, a free membership at Raindance for a full year and a fully valid Raindance festival badge. The casino ensured the best film advertising. The one film with the largest audience on the internet was given the YouTube prize. This prize consisted of two tickets to the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) after-show party, a free Raindance.tv membership card for one year and a fully valid identity card for the Raindance Festival. Mathew Horne, the popular star of the British television series "Gavin and Stacey", said about the competition that the concept was great for ambitious filmmakers that wanted to set foot in this industry.

It was a great thing to assist and see how young talents presenting their work publicly. They had an unusual opportunity to get hold of a film screening at different major festivals. As you can imagine, Inter Casino is looking forward to organizing the next edition and selecting the best short films submitted in the competition.
