Cigars Issues..... - Page 2

MrOneEyedBoh · 10-10-2009, 10:11 PM

Noooo sorry. I bought a vino and I just turned it on today for the first time. I have boxes in there ( empty ) with my 2lbs of beads.

And then I have a separate humi with cigars in it, and that is where the problem is. In my desktop, not in the vino. Sorry for the confusion.

I have been having the same problem lately, but it only seems to be with my red & brown label Tatuajes. Most others I smoke seem to hold on just fine, lately I've been also smoking Olivas. Anyone else had probs with their tats?

Hmm alright. I did calibrate it. I did the test for two days and then re did it for 3 days. I used the salt test, the hygrometer is a hygroset 2 http://www.cigarmony.com/hygrosetiic...ctangular.aspx

Do you have 70% beads?

MrOneEyedBoh · 10-11-2009, 08:12 PM

no 65% From cigar mony. I did season the humidor and I wet the beads accordingly. Like I said, they are mixed white and clear beads. And I have not added any new sticks in sometime.

MrOneEyedBoh · 10-11-2009, 09:30 PM

Yeah thtas what I thought

wayner123 · 10-11-2009, 09:39 PM

Well if it's not an issue of too high RH in the humi, the only other thing I can think of is that the large change in temp might have an effect. Example; the cigars are kept at around 80 deg's and you smoke them in 60 below weather. The cigars don't have time to adjust and the wrapper splits due to vapor combustion.

MrOneEyedBoh · 10-12-2009, 05:32 PM

yeah I think that might be it Wayner, I smoked three today one had it bad, one did not and the last one was great. I'm not sure whats what..

What should I do when I get the cigars? Let them sit in a box in my room for a day or two and then put them in the desktop?

I hope I dont have this problem with the Vino..

I would just take the beads out until things settle down.

MrOneEyedBoh · 10-12-2009, 06:45 PM

That wont harm the cigars? I'll pull them out tonight. Now with the cigars that have busted wrappers... They are still smokeable right? Thye may just burn funky and mis-shaped?

Nope, not at all (unless you are talking about something like leaving them out on the dasboard of your car in the Nevada/Arizona noon sun). They don't loose moisture that fast, plus it sounds like you want them to shed some excess moisture anyway.

Yes, still smokeable. If they are really bad, you can get some pectin (canning products isle at the supermarket) and use a little bit of it to glue the wrappers down. Or you can chop them up and smoke them in a pipe.

MrOneEyedBoh · 10-12-2009, 08:59 PM

Thanks again TG. I'll let them sit out. Or should I just remove the beads and leave the cigars in the humidor w/o beads until like thursday or end of the week

Welcome bro.

Leaving cigars out for a week can be done, although how much it will affect them just depends on what the conditions are where you leave them and if they are in boxes or cello or both, I would advise against it for the sake of erring on the side of caution.

Take the humidifier(s) out of the humidor and maybe leave the lid/door on the humidor open for six or eight hours. Then close the lid and check on the humidity levels the next day. If it is low, that's ok, remember, that's the moisture in the air in the humidor, not the moisture in the cigars that you are measuring. If those cigars are in cello, it could easily take a few days for them to shed some moisture, and they won't do that unless the humidor is at a lower humidity than "they are".

Will do tonight and I'll report back.
