Question about travel humi

[Cale]

Thanks for the input everyone. Since I already bought this humidor, there is nothing I can do except purchase a different one if its recommended. It came in the mail today and it seems sturdy enough for me (I always drive to Vegas so I don't have to worry about it getting crushed by other luggage or having something set on it). It is full of foam with cigar size slits in it so there is no worry about anything rolling around.

The only thing I am worried about is that there is no humidification system built in. Can someone please recommend me a product to help with that? Or should my cigars be fine for 3-4 days? The seal seems alright on this thing. It will be in AC the entire time to heat is not really an issue, but I appreciate the heads up!

I dont know what kind of seal is on that case you have so im not sure if you would have much use for a humidication device for just 3-4 days.

There are alot of different things you can use though, just gotta find something small enough to leave room for the sticks in your case with it. Maybe some other members here can suggest something that would fit in the case.

I bet one of the small capsules of Beads will fit in one of the cigar slots.
The half ounce humitube here: http://www.heartfeltindustries.com/Beads.htm
looks like it would fit nicely.

Since you already bought the briefcase style, I would go with beads to keep it at somewhat of a decent humidity.... http://www.cigarmony.com/store/produ...roducts_id=463

After you realize that this one is good but not great.... try and win an Otterbox style one from CBid that has some cigars in it that you want to try.

When you get outbid..... got to www.Cigarmony.com.... I bought a fifteen count one from Marc last year and use it every time i head out for a weekend trip

Agree with everyone's input on beads - but IMHO, if you're just looking to keep the sticks from drying out for a 3-5 days (specifically in the winter), just use a water pillow. You can get them on cbid or sites like seriouscigars - they're effective, they're cheap, and they're disposable.

This may be sacrilege, but for trips 3 days or less, I don't even bring a humidification element - anything with a seal will keep the sticks at where you want it to be providing you don't open and close it frequently.

I concur!

Get yourself a tube of beads from Hearfelt.

Beads for humidification, carry a small sealable container with some distilled water for the trip.

That said, ditch the briefcase and get an otterbox, or something similar (there are some other brands just as good with a similar style). Far superior product.
