I’ve had a humidor since I can remember. I don’t smoke cigarettes, but I enjoy a cigar every once in a while. Like wine, I always buy one to smoke and at least one more to save. As a result over the years I’ve built up a bit of a collection of cigars. The only problem is my humidor has never done a good job of maintaining the 65% RH necessary to keep cigars at their prime. A humidor isn’t something you can constantly open and check on, and I have forgotten for months at a time to remember to check the humidifier. Recently I had been checking consistently and noticed that no matter what I couldn’t bring the humidity up. I’m sure it doesn’t help that it is so dry in the winter here.

Anyway blah blah blah. Out of the blue a friend of mine mentions these humidity beads to me. Wow. From the first day I put the tube in my humidor the RH has been steadily crawling up to 70% (going to let them sit at 70% for a couple months to re-humidify them). I’ve had to re-spray the tube with distilled water a few times because the humidor and the cigars are soaking up so much moisture but thats it! These things are the shit. If you have a humidor, and you don’t have humidity beads from Heartfelt: GET SOME.
