Prepping my Travel Humi

**prophetic_joe** · 04-25-2007, 12:25 PM

What do I need to do to prep my Otterbox for a trip? Anything special or just add some pg solution to the foam?

If I have room, I normally just throw a water pillow in with the sticks. I really don't trust the foam.

You do not need to do anything special. Those otterboxes have a very tight seal. I have found that adding distilled water to the foam gets my cigars too wet for smoking. I would say if you are going to be gone for 5 days or less, then you do not need to add RH. Just my suggestion.

It all depends on where your going, how many sticks etc. Usually I don't do anything, but I would if I was going for more than a couple of days and the temp was going to be lower than what I normally keep the cigars at.

You don't need to prep it or anything. Throw the foam away, you won't be needing that. Put some beads in to keep the humidity at 65%.

I use nothing.

Loudpipes found out the hardway while traveling with a water pillow. After the flight his sticks were SOAKED!

Depends on climate (i.e., is it Vegas?). Normally, under a week - I do nothing. Over a week, I usually add the Drew-certified water pillow. Would like to hear how Loudpipes did it - I dunk it long enough to get about a 1/4 inch rise, then fold the cover bag.

Where ya goin'?

How to prepare Otterbox for travel:

1. Open Otterbox
2. Fill with cigars
3. Close Otterbox

Mine has such a good seal I don't even bother with humidification. Just be quick when grabbing a stick and call it good.

I throw a few drops in mine before i close it and put it away for storage... that way it has a decent charge when i go to throw cigars in it however long later... but i never put sticks in it within a couple days of adding water...

It is indeed Vegas.
