Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Aluminum tubos aren't really sealed. Air will still be exchanged and the humidity will change. I wouldn't leave a tubo out more that a few days if at all.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Ohok, I was reading on here or another forum and they said someone from habanos said that it would last 7 years out of a humidor. Crazy I know, thats why I came here to double check.
So Im guessing the main point of them is for gifting/ease of transporting? |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I reuse tubos as single carriers, when I know I'm just going to smoke one cigar. Or they are good to put cigars in that you plan to give away(for safe transport).

I wouldn't risk more than a month. I dry box for that long with no problems.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
That has always been my feeling... but then again what do I know!!! If I take it out of the humi the life expectancy is pretty short!!

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
How often do you guys that use Heartfelt beads have to recharge them? I don't remember the exact numbers, but I bought a 75% tube that's rated for over twice the volume of my small humidor. I have to recharge it about once a week and the humidity never goes past 62% or so. Is this abnormal? Or just a consequence of living in Southern California?

Are you recharging because of what reading you are getting? or the colors of the beads?

You also should calibrate your hygrometer if you have not done so recently. |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Put your smokes, beads and hygrometer in a tupperware container. This should confirm both the Rh of the beads and the accuracy of the hygrometer, while you check the humidor for leaks. What kind of beads are you using?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I'm using the 70% (not 75% as I said before) Heartfelt beads. I did the tupperware test a while ago and the hygro was spot on. I haven't checked for leaks before though. I will do that tomorrow when I'm home.

Glass Tubos, for the most part provide a much better seal, and will keep the cigar in good condition, outside of a humidor for a month or even two, but I wouldn't push it much longer than that! Be sure to check out the seal on the style of glass tubo in question, because a few styles are very poorly sealed. It should be obvious upon inspection which styles have the better seals.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I was contacted by a member askin me to check out his Newbie sampler for sale, but it wont let me view it. What is the criteria for being able to view his thread in that part of the forum? I already have 100 posts so it couldnt be that...
