mrhuh Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Thanks for reading!! I received a sampler pack, in a small wood box, today; should I take out the sticks and put them in my humidor or leave them in the box and put that in the humidor? It probably does not matter, but I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. Also, some of the singles I bought had some white, fluffy ??? on it. I know I have read thats not a big deal at all; I just wiped them off with my fingers, anything else I would need to do? I've smoked throughout the years, but have never been very serious, until now! My humidly is at 72%, I've actually taken out the packs I have in trying to lower it. I was going to purchase some beads, as I've read those work well, but I figure 72% is not too bad. Regards!

rckymtn22 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 My preference for RH is +-65%, I think your RH is too high. Get some beads ASAP. If you put those cigars in 72% RH you will be wiping of mold again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdzotti78 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 If you only have a desktop humi, take them out of the box and put them inside. Definitely lower the humidity. I like mine around 65%. And that fluffy white stuff is mold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhuh Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 I did not want to use the m(old) word, but, please correct me if I'm wrong, remember I'm learning, white mold = no big deal, black mold = BAD! I have to wait till tomorrow to pick up beads, please tell me 1 night @ 72% is not too bad. I honesty thought I should of been around 70%, so I seasoned the desktop humi @ 86% and then dropped in 2 75% humi packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cckandb24 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 My biggest thing on that high of humidity is the sticks won't smoke worth a crap with that much moisture, tryin to smoke those will be like trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ordered 2 puck-ifr 100's and it will be about a week. I will watch the humidity daily and if gets much lower, I will put the humi-packs back in.

tmac77 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I always keep my sticks between 60% and 65% IMO 70% is a bit on the high side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I'm convinced that 60-65% rh is proper, but why if I may ask? I would figure a higher humidity would keep the tobacco soft and somewhat moist but not too moist.

mrhuh Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Thank you for the education, greatly appreciated. I've ordered 2 puck-ifier 100's. Currently, I've taken out all humi devices, I'm @ 68% RH, so I do feel perfectly safe awaiting my next order and to read the reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
