Storing Cigars

A good quality cigar humidor, with a hygrometer and a proper seal, will not on its own guarantee proper storage of premium cigars. The humidity levels inside the humidor must also be properly controlled. It is necessary to have a good humidification control system.

Humidifiers contain a special material which is aseptic and bacteria free and can have the ability to absorb almost 40 times their own weight in water. They are best used in combination with the:

Savinelli Surface Active Liquid

ODOURLESS • NON-TOXIC • ANTI-FUNGAL
Regulator Fluid for Humidifiers
73-Sav724 (115ml) R185.00
This fluid is made with a special formula which helps to
maintain the proper humidity levels inside the humidor
and contributes to a longer life for the humidifier

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
First time of filling. Use only the regulator fluid:
About 30ml (large tablespoon) for small round humidifiers.
Thereafter: Before filling each time, squeeze about 10 to 15 drops (half teaspoon) of regulator fluid into the humidifier. Then top up with distilled or boiled water. Don't overfill.

The fluid serves 2 very important functions.
It changes the surface tension of the water. This changes the normal evaporation tendencies of the water, maintaining the humidity level at approximately 65 to 75% Relative Humidity. Secondly it helps prevent mould and bacteria from forming – these could adversely affect your cigars.

Watchpoint: Always use distilled water, or at least boiled and cooled water in any humidifier. The salts and chemicals in normal tap water clog the humidifying material, prevent correct operation, and may affect the cigars. Only the clay/aluminium Cigar Freshener can use ordinary water.

Don’t make the humidifier so wet that it drips on your cigars.

 

Clay/aluminium humidifier, can be used with hard water.
Just soak in warm water for a minute or so, wipe dry,and it’s ready for use.
The clay readily absorbs the water and then releases it
into the air in your humidor.

The freshener is heavier when wet – if it feels light it needs another soaking.
Fits perfectly into your cigar case, to humidify your cigars
if you have to carry them for a few hours.

  Humidipak
Boveda’s patented 2-way humidity control continually responds to ambient conditions by adding or removing moisture to affect the enclosed environment and deliver the pre-determined Relative Humidity level printed on the pack.
After about 5-8 weeks, when Boveda is completely dry, it will turn into a solid wafer. It’s just short of this, when there are very few soft spots left, that you’ll want to replace them.
A 25-50 cigar humidor will need one 60g Boveda pack if the humidor is opened relatively often. More packs in the humidor will just last longer. If the humidor is left closed for a period, the Boveda will last longer.
Idea: When you put a Boveda humidipak to work, write the date on the packet.

What are the benefits? The single cigar is protected against damage or contamination and needs no further humidification, in the restaurant, in your home or when you are travelling. In a glass tube the life span of a cigar is almost indefinite (extending into years), provided it is not allowed to get warm, for example by leaving it on a shelf that gets the sun or is near hot water pipes. The glass tube will preserve the cigar in exactly the same condition as it is when you put it in.

• If it is in good condition, it will stay in good condition.
• If it is dry, it will stay dry.

The tube may be used to recondition a cigar that is dry:
Simply run your damp (not wet) finger across the underside of the sponge, then put the cigar into the tube and seal it. You may have to do this more than once, but don't try to rush the process.

“Checklist for preserving your Cigars”

The glass tubes are available in 5 sizes, with stopper and sponge.
The sponge is essential to prevent damage to the end of the cigar, and useful for reconditioning.
