Thread: Humidification - Travel Humidor

  1. Default Humidification - Travel Humidor

    Hey All,

    I just purchased a 15 count traveldor: http://www.xikar.com/product_humidor_travel.asp# .

    I was wondering if the built-in humidification would be sufficient for week long trips. Or should I put beads in there? I was thinking about getting this: http://heartfeltindustries.com/prodd...d=HT%5F05%5F65 Or is this overkill?

    Can't decide. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Looks similar to an Otter Box Cigar Caddy. I don't think you need to worry about any added moisture. They seal tight as hell, and a few drops in the unit could be over kill.

    I use mine all the time for hunting trips, no added humidification required for at least a week.

    I have toyed with using a Drymistat tube with some beads, but I've never seen the need.

    BTW.. these things are absolutely indestructable, Mine has been flung off a fast moving ATV and run over by another.. couple scratches outside, pristine smokes inside

    for a week, unless you're going to a desert (i.e. Vegas), you should be ok. Personally, I use water pillows.

    Look at that... I plumb got myself 5 raisins and 7 termites.

    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.

    Same here. Cheap and they work great.

    Brian - Brother I hope you are doing well.


    I would use a Boveda or two. These things are flawless and simple. Way easier than beads or anything else. When they dry just toss them in the cooler and in a week or two they are good as new.

    I have the same thing by X-treme and it maintains humidity for at least a week. I took out the foam inserts and put in some cedar scraps so the stogies would think they're in a real humi. Honestly, I don't know why I even bother with a wood humi and beads; I should just get a larger X-treme or whatever (they all look and work the same). They're low maintainence.

    Occasionally, I put a few drops of 50/50 solution in, but mostly I just squirt some distilled water on the foam. You could always bring a small container of distilled water if you think you'll need it. If you only use 50/50, eventually it won't work.

    Ive got a Puck 50 from cigarmony in my otter box. Works great! Hardly ever have to recharge the beads in it.
    Yay! Cigars!
