Howdy!
To figure out how many RH Beads your need, simply measure the interior of the humidor to calculate cubic inches and then use the chart below.
To calculate the volume, simply follow this formula:
Multiply the length in inches X width in inches X height in inches
(ex: 10 in. x 10 in. x 10...
I LOVE the ECCJ! Top notch fellas (and nice too).
That is exactly what I was thinking when I saw the article as well.
If "5 star" is the top of your scale for reviews, I think the scale gets watered down if too many are given out. I include all the reviews in this, not specific to this...
At what RH level are your storing your cigars?
Most draw (and burn) problems can be attributed to over humidification. I would suggest dry boxing the same cigar for several days prior to smoking the next one and see if the draw improves (I'd bet it will).
I have found that switching to 65% RH...
<u>How do I calculate what size Puck-ifier™ or how many RH Beads™ I will need?</u>
To calculate the volume, simply follow this formula:
Multiply the length in inches X width in inches X height in inches
(ex: 10 in. x 10 in. x 10 in. = 1000 cu. in.)
1 oz = 540 cu. in.
2 oz = 1080...
The RH Beads will lower your RH but 70% RH is fine. It all really depends on if you like you smokes drier or not. :tu
I would suggest getting a digital hygrometer and calibrating it, if you already don't have one.
I hope this helps

Most cigars are over humidified when shipped and a few days isn't going to hurt anything.
I would put them in a small air tight container and leave it closed until you get the cooler set up properly.
I hope this helps

Glad you converted bro.
I converted 9+ years ago to 65% and found far superior burn, draw and flavor (on aged smokes).
Any draw problems can be directly attributed to construction now vs over humidification that was previously thought to be construction.
Enjoy!

Very true.
Additionally, PG bonds itself to the water molecule and has a release point of 70% RH. The problem is that it has very little room to absorb excess moisture in the event you get a spike (ie: adding new cigars, ambient humidity, etc).
I hope this helps

1.) Confirm that you have an adequate amount of RH Beads for your size humidor.
To calculate the volume, simply follow this formula:
Multiply the length in inches X width in inches X height in inches
(ex: 10 in. x 10 in. x 10 in. = 1000 cu. in.)
1 oz = 540 cu. in.
2 oz = 1080 cu. in.
3 oz =...
It depends on how often you open and close your humidor (ie: introducing ambient humidity into your relative humidity environment).
Also, the addition of cigars & boxes can raise and lower your RH.
I take a peek at my digital hygrometer ever time I grab a smoke and when it drops about 6%, I...
