Not sure I understand some cigar shops.
A friend of mine called me that was getting into cigars.
He purchased a nice humidor and a bunch of cigars to keep at his house.
He was having a problem with his humidor humidity being too high.
He lives in an area where the humidity is already 80%+. I asked him what all he has done to it and he said the shop he bought it at told him to wet down the inside, fill the humidifier with distilled water and close it up for a few days.
So it's been a week and the humidity won't come down below 90%. Ya think?.
Told him to take the humidifier out, open it up and let it come down to 70% and close it up and see what happens. A week later, it is still sitting at 70%.
So here's my problem. Why are these shops telling people to put a full humidifier in an new humidor that they just wiped down, in a high humidity area?
Do they all have some general how to sheet that they go by?
I could see it if the thing was dropping below 65% in a low humidity area, but don't these places know the area they are in?
OK, that's my rant. LOL!

Then again, for all I know, I could have been doing it wrong all these years.
Right now, the humidity outside is 83%, house is 70%. Humidor is 66%.
If I put shipped cigars in it, it will climb to 74+% in no time at all, so I put them in a separate dry, empty humi for a bit, to bring them down.
Anyone like us in high humidity areas has a bit of a tough time, because we fight the moisture.
I've tried dozens of different things, but the beads seem to work the most reliable for me.

Recently my sister was accosted by a distant, but blood relative. She has been in rehab for several months and the damage, unfortunately, seems permanent. She has cold shakes at night, day tremors and she can no longer trust men. This last part is quite unfortunate for she is married to a wonderful and supporting man, but his touch now turns to stone around her. They have three kids, two of which are boys and, sadly, the eldest who is turning 17 next month is growing more and more distant from his mother. It seems that as he ages, and certain adult male characteristics come forth, she is now not even loving towards her own son. Truly a tragedy has happened to my family.
I hate you more than the man that raped my sister...
I, too, have heard about Karma Cigar. I heard that they have no class at all and try to advertise on a competitor's forum to, hopefully, steal away some of their business. Well, it ain't gonna happen, Dood. As you can probably tell, we kinda frown on that cheap sh it around here. I recommend you spend your time elsewhere. You can leave, like, NOW!
not that i woulda before...
I'm surprised no one pointed that out before haha!
