Humidor humidity constantly on the rise...

[TheGreekTitan]

So what happens if i buy 65% humidity beads, put them in the humidor which then brings it down the 65% RH then add my cigars ? surely it'll drop even lower than 65% ?

C'mon man, this ain't rocket science. Maybe you should just buy one cigar at a time, and fill your humidor with peanuts. No humidification necessary.

I really hate to disagree, however, I probably concentrate more on the humidity of my nuts than I do my cigars.

I, as well, probably concentrate more on the humidity of Jamie's nuts than I do my cigars.

Thank you. Properly humidified nuts produce a wonderful cracking sound when opened. Soggy nuts only sound like stepping on a slug.

I meant the kind of peanuts you eat. Desktop humidors could make a nice little snack dispenser if you just can't figure out how to keep your cigars stored.

Um, so was I. I mean, who likes a nut in a soggy shell?

You sir, have never had a boiled peanut then. Pretty big deal here in the South, and darn tasty at that.

No, I have not had a boiled peanut. I'm certain they are wonderful, however, I cannot imagine giving up that oh so satisfying crunch when the shells break.

Do the soggy shells work as well for polishing a hardwood floor as the crunchy ones do?

Salted, roasted in the shell peanuts is my "fat-ass-is-parked-in-the-recliner-watching-football" foods. In fact, I'm thinking seriously of trying to grow some peanuts next year.

I love the smell of a good thread derailment

Salted, roasted in the shell with a beer is still best. However, take a bunch of raw peanuts and boil them for a few hours in some really salty water. (I use my turkey fryer.) Eat while hot, and serve with some spiked hot apple cider. I always do this a couple times during colder weather. Mmmm Mmmm good!

I NEVER store peanuts in the shell in my humidor. How gauche!
