Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I'm going on spring break this week and I need to keep my cigars as fresh as possible for a week. Would it be better for me to place them in my cigar caddy even though it doesn't have humidification?...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
So after trying to slow season my humidor for the last three weeks, I have nothing to show for it. As soon as I take the shot glass out, the humidity plummets within days. I am assuming I have a...

Smoking and Music
Hopefully this hasn't been done before. I was going to put this in the music/movies section but that seemed to primarily just be about movies and music as opposed to cigars. So if you aren't in a...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I don't know why i'm so anxious about it. My friend told me that cigars would dry out in like 1 day if the humidity dropped below the ideal 70%. So of course I believed him.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I just added the rest of my cigars to my humidor which obviously caused to rh to drop. It was sitting steady around 64 with my 65 rh beads. It is now down to 56. I know that's not awful but I'd like...

Re: HELP. I can't get consistency in my Humi.
I have this same humidor. And my humidity has been dropping steadily since yesterday during the end of seasoning. I have beads in there right now. Can I just add one of those humidifying pillows to...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Lastly, I hope, about how long does it take for low humidity to ruin cigars? If I place my cigars in the humidor, with 65 rh beads, and it drops to like 62 or even 60, roughly how long do I have to...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
My seasoning is going fairly well. The humidity is dropping steadily from the 84 it was at about 1:00. But I think I have a bad seal. Did the dollar bill/paper test and what not. Are there any good...

Re: Coolidor

Coolidor
So I am having quite a rough time with this humidor seasoning business. So I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of how to make a simple coolidor. Does it need to be "seasoned"?...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
So I went with the wipe down method and the sponge retained most of the moisture on the third wipe down which should mean the humidor isn't absorbing as much moisture. Now I'm supposed to wait 24...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Ok good. I am going to re season my humidor properly. Now I've heard varying opinions on this. Some say never to add any water directly to the wood and just let a shot glass of distilled water or a...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
The cigars I just purchased we already in a ziplock bag when they arrived. So if I leave them in there for another week on top of the week it took for them to arrive, they won't be completely ruined?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
So how low is too low as far as rh goes? I mean I don't think 62 is too much lower than 65 in regards to negatively impacting the cigars, but when should I worry? When its down in the mid 50's?...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Also does anyone have any recommendations in regards to a machine that can clear up cigar odors pretty well? I am getting an apartment this summer and I don't have anywhere to smoke outside.
