You know how they say everyone has their own taste? Well, surprisingly, I really like this cigar. I find it to be a nice “dessert” cigar when had after a meal with some coffee. And I am NOT usually one for flavored smokes of any kind.

And may I say, very nice site, BTW!

That is not the Titan but instead is the Legend. The Titan only comes in one size and is 6″ by 55 ring gauge.

Can you put something else in the humidor to balance out the humidity? I know with wine cellars or fridges you can put full Liter bottles of water in the slots where the wine would rest to acclimate the entire cellar easier if you have only a few bottles of wine in there. I am assuming that it would be a similar thing. Could you maybe put some wooden dowels or other material in the humidor??

Question
From Wellington,
Hey, really appreciate the blog. I’ve got a few questions as i know next to nothing about cigars… I just got a humidor as a gift and i’ve seasoned the thing, but it doesn’t seem to be keeping a constant humidity. I’ll add some distilled water, a few hours later the hygrometer will read 70 and then the next day it’s back down to 60 percent. Any thoughts? also, is it ok if a few drops of water get on the cigars as i’m adding water to the sponge? I can’t imagine it would do any damage. thanks.

From Habanalungs Staff,
Now when you say “seasoned” I hope you mean you charged it. It is the process in which you add humidification before adding you new cigars. And you had wiped the entire inside with rubbing alcohol to ensure no mold or bacteria was present in the humidor.
As for the humidifaction level it will vary depending on how many times a day you open it. Two, the size of the humidor and the amount of cigars you have in that humidor. If you have a humidor that can hold 50 cigars and have only 6 cigars, it is going to be very difficult to regulate the atmoisphere. The more packed the humidor the easier for the cigars to stay regulated. It is going to take a few days for your humidor to regulate its self to the new environment and like I said the more packed your humidar the better regulation.
Think of it like an ice machine. If there is no or little ice in the bin it has to keep making ice, but if the ice bin is full then every once and a while it has to make ice when you pull some out. A for the water drops on the cigars, don’t worry too much on that but always wipe them off before it soaks in. If you do the too much you will get dry rot or when you smoke it, it might crack and split the wrapper. You should only have to add water to the sponge 2-3 times a month.
