Do you put humidifying devices in your TRAVEL humi

troutbreath · 12-17-2008, 05:13 AM

I usually do, and my travel 'dor is usually where I am smoking from -- rarely get to go straight from the home humi to the flame. I will touch up the internal humidifier with distilled for short trips, but I do notice that sometimes the sticks directly under that spot will occasionally have a wierd burn in the middle. I have always assumed that they get over-humidified during their time in the box.

I probably need to put in less H2O, or maybe just touch it up every other trip.

Can't say as I have.

When I take trips over a long weekend, the cigars were fine.

If I'm going to be gone for a week or more I jusr bring a small 20 count humi on the trip in the car.

My 15-count Herf-A-Dor has a humidification device on the lid, but I've never charged it up.

My larger 18-ct cigar caddies have a puck from cigarmony. My 2 and 5 cts don't have humidification but they are only used for a night out or maybe weekend trip.

I use a little homemade tube with 65% bead. Probably don't need to, but do it anyway. I think our problem in the South is more of a need to absorb excess humidity than to provide humidity. My $0.01.

Yes always... I pretty much always have my 50 ct with me and I like to keep my sticks happy. So I bought 2 of the 1 oz 65% bead tubes from heartfelt and they work like a charm. I just stick one in the middle row and one in the top row of my foam and I can still carry 48 sticks if need be while keeping them in tip top shape!
