Humidifiers for Cigar Humidors

Humidor FAQ s:

What is the proper humidity to maintain in a humidor?
Between 65 and 75 percent humidity (70 being optimum)

Why is proper humidification important?
Too much humidity can be harmful to the cigar, causing mildew and sometimes rot.  So, if humidity goes above 75 degrees, leave the lid open for short periods until humidity levels drop.
Too little humidity will dry cigars out, causing them to burn too hot.  If this happens, sometimes they can be restored to some degree of freshness with proper humidification.

How do I maintain proper humidity in my humidor?
To maintain proper humidification in your humidor, moisten the humidifier (humistat) - a sponge type of material in a vented case which mounts to some part of the humidor (usually the lid) - initially with a 50/50 mixture of 50% distilled water and 50% PG (propylene glycol) then monthly or as needed with distilled water. A ready made mixture, Cigar Juice ™ is also available.
