I realize you read 6pack's testemonial on another site. Kitty litter is designed to keep cat pee from stinking up your room and is designed to clump around poop. I realize that 6pack and some other noobs have used them with some success, but they are not designed for that use and will not handle fluctuations and provide a constant proper environment. Spend the $30-$50 or so that you should in a good product that will last forever.

That you had those great results I do not doubt. However, journey back for a moment with me to science class, and the "scientific method". Simply put, one test, conducted over a limited period of time, in only one part of the country and one specific home environment is not a sufficient body of evidence to draw a scientifically valid conclusion from. I have no doubt that the kitty litter works GREAT When it is exposed to and operated in a specific environment and under specific conditions. (The kind that you most likely lucked out and had present in your house at the time of the experiment). However, I also can say that if the kitty litter were exposed to a more diverse range of changing conditions and seasons, it will NOT do its job year-round. Eric, skim through this thread again and note how many people have chimed their vote for each solution. Cigar smokers, as a whole, are a fairly smart group of guys, and we can be quite clever with some of our solutions  . The kitty litter idea is not a new one, its been around for years and years. If it actually worked well over a long period of time in more than one or two sets of specific conditions, don't you think you would see more people here touting the merits of it? YET you see the exact opposite. Anyone who has been around a while, seen the fads come and go, and has money invested in their cigars, everyone single one of them has told you and will tell you to get beads. ... .... Nobody here is lying or misleading you about their experience, and everyone posts with the best of intentions. However its very difficult to draw a conclusion from any one example or any one person's advice, including my own - if you want the real answer, just look at the numbers.

Re: Just bought a 600ct humi and need advice
Thanks guys for all your advise as I really appreciate it, all of it! I am going to run Scott's beads if he has any left. I pm'd him yesterday afternoon and haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully he isn't out of them. The humi already shipped, I've got 70 cigars on the way, my 75 ct is overfilled, so I gotta get rockin!

 Good catch - the man speaks the truth. Stick the new cigars in a few tupperdors for the time being while you season the humi properly, the sticks will be fine in plastic for a while. Make sure you get her good n seasoned, a 600ct is a PITA to empty and re-season

Re: Just bought a 600ct humi and need advice
From Cheaphumidors.com (I bolded what I thought was the most important part):
Re-humidifying your humidor is easy, just follow these simple steps: Place a shallow container filled with distilled water in the humidor Place calibrated hygrometer inside humidor Charge your humidification device Place humidification device inside humidor You have to check the relative humidity every day. Depending on a number of factors this can take a few days to a few weeks. When you get in the 70 range it is safe to store you smokes inside. As long as you constantly recharge your humidification device you will never have to wait to store your cigars again. I always suggest waiting at least 7-10 days, no matter what the hygrometer says before putting cigars in a new humidor. |
