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! :smiley20:

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:smiley20:

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

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.
