If I put 2 of these in a box of 20 dried cigars will it help re-hydrate them faster? Or is that overkill and a sure fire way to ruin the cigars?

I've had one in a mason jar with about 4 to 5 cigars at any one time since July and they are still great.

the slower you rehydrate the better. At least that is what I learned to work best.

yes it will rehydrate the cigars. Just give it at least a few days and they're as good as new. Of course the longer they stay in, the better they'll get.

Just one should do the trick. The humidor should be seasoned first. The cigars can be rehydrated after.

I don't believe this is a good idea. You will notice some moisture without doing this. You may want to contact the manufacturer directly.

These can be refilled with water. Distilled would be best. You can also use Xikar or Cigar Caddy use everytime solutions.

I would finish the bottle within the next day or two. For longer preservation the electric ones are best. I've been pretty happy with mine though I do notice a difference in the taste by day 2 for sure. I drink red wines if that is any help to you.

Getting the humidity right in a humidor can be tricky. If you want to take the glass out, monitor the humidor and if the RH level drops put it back. Having said that, my advice would be if it is consistent at 70 don't change anything.

I would suggest not. Use a oil burner specifically for that and just use water in humidifier.

Hi Rishriam, I am not sure to tell you the truth. I know people smoke fish but due to the length of time the fish would be drying and not refrigerated, I would not want to guess on the safety of dehydrating fish. A search on the internet may answer your question. Wished I could have helped.

you need distilled water, a sponge or rag, and simply pour a very thin layer across the bottom, and wipe the walls down, and the center divider, and submerge the filter as well for a few hours, and close it. You will see the humidity rise. Be sure to wipe up any left over water before you drop your cigars in. Or they will get wet :(

Just push from the inside. To add to my original post, I am returning the humidor and getting a different one. Added 5 more fresh cigars and for some reason the humidor has stabilized at 72-74rh.

It is the type of humidifiers you either soak in distilled water or humi fluid.It's kinda like that floral sponge meteralit depends on if your using distilled water or Glycol Solution but every couple weeks or when it starts to dry out (depends on how well the humidor was seasoned)id recommend getting a digital hygrometer and getting 72% boveda humi-packs (only have to change them out every two months or so)do some looking in to them they work great for me.

I have stored boxes of cigars in coolers before and have found that they are easy to humidify. I would think this will work well.

I'd grab 2, put them in there, and check the humidity indicator card in a week to see how the humidity is doing in there. It's about how long you want to go between having to go back in and "recharge" the desiccant. You could always buy more desiccant so the moisture is being absorbed by more packs, and so each would get full slower, but of course more packs costs more money. Just remember that when the desiccant has absorbed all the moisture it can hold that you can put the desiccant in the oven for a few hours (directions online, and maybe on box, I forget) and bake the moisture out, then reuse the desiccant again! Also note, if you crawl space is relatively closed less moisture will enter over time, which would result in you being more successful at lowering the humidity in there.

Everything I've read says to use distilled water. That way you have less of a chance to contaminated your cigars. Distilled water is cheap compared to the cost of your cigars.

You know, I have had mine for a long time.Yes, I probably should humidify my humidor more often by pouring more distilled water in it, but I smoke about one cigar every few months.That being said, I bought the one tube months ago, and whenever they are all brown and shrunken again, I fill it with distilled water.Still on the same tube.

Absolutely!! That's basically what they're for :) They keep the humidity from ruining them. I even put a small wire shelf (rubber feet to protect the Brisker) in mine so I could get more spices in one Brisker. I love mine, in fact... I have two!!

Hi Joe,No need to use the humidifier that came with your humidor if you are using DryMistat tube/s.Enjoy!
