I couldn't help myself.
Just had to rate this thread terrible, and ding you two reputation points (or whatever their called) for coming up with the idea of taking cigars out of a humidor to season it ROFL.
That and the idea of auctioning off a whatchamacallit in here makes me have to ask: "Exactly what kind of cigars are you smoking?? "
In spite of all evidence to the contrary, the entire universe is composed of only two basic substances: Magic and bullshit.

Ok, I think I'm a bigger boogerhead than Indysmoker.... I use water from my drinking tap (it's softened and then ran through a reverse osmosis filter) to keep my (dare I say it?) sponge and silicon wet. So, feel free to berate and educate!

Yeah, we use salt to soften the water. The RO filter takes 100% of most of the nasty elements in tap water out and 97% of the rest of the nasty shit. I think sodium falls in the 97% grouping. Am I abusing my cigars? The humidity levels stay pretty constant.

I don't know, but considering that a gallon of distilled water costs about 97 cents and lasts a few months, I'd just wonder why you're taking the chance with sticks that could cost quite a bit more each. Seems that might be penny wise and pound foolish.

Well, damn Shelby, since you put it that way....

A buddy of mine has a Reverse osmosis thingy. He has a bunch of saltwater fish tanks he has to keep supplied. I think the RO should be just as good as distilled water if you don't have to buy it(already have the RO thingy). But you still need the beads.
I HATE MOOCHERS !!!
Shit

I'm not big on doing reviews, tobacco doesn't taste like "cocoa" or "nutty" or "mocha" to me, it tastes like freakin' TOBACCO. I know what I like and I really don't care what other people think of other cigars. I've never read a review and said to myself "Wow, that sounds like a cigar I'd like to try!"

I hope this answers your question Shelby..... Salt is used in a water softener, but the sat itself is not added to the water to soften it. The ions are used to clean the beads which hold the ions which create hard water.....
