How do you dry out cigars?

Answer 1

Your cigars should be kept in an environment where the humidity and temperature are controlled at all times. For most people that is a chest type humidor. The standard recommended storage rates are 70/70. 70 degrees at 70% humidity. If you ask 10 different cigar smokers you are likely to get 10 different answers on the humidity rate and how it is maintained. For me 70% is to much for almost all brands. My "sweet " spot is is more like 67%. Use a digital hygrometer.( or two...) There are economical 110v humidifier systems that will fit in a 200 count humidor that monitor the levels every 30 seconds and adjust if necessary You only add distilled water about every two weeks. It will take some time to get it adjusted. Do not let them dry out... there is no fix for that.

Answer 2

Buy a cheap $3 empty cigar box at your local cigar store. Make sure it is wood with the tightest fitting lid you can get. Buy a jar of jell made for humidification of cigars. There you go, for aprox 8 bucks you are in business works good for a travel box. When you can put a little more $ into it buy a digital hygrometer so you can see the statis of the inside of the box as far as temp and humidity.

Answer 3

A "robusto" sized cigar lasts me about an hour. Some people burn a Churchill in an hour. It will vary between smokers.

If you mean how long do they keep in storage? That depends on how well you keep up your humidity and temerature. If you keep them correctly they can last years. Some are aged before they are even sold. Let 'em dry out and they are just rolled up tobacco leaves. Gone forever.

Answer 4

First you place them in between your middle finger and index finger. Then you shake them out. Next, you procede to invent a miniature fan that dries it out. Then you put a wet rag around it to make the inside seem dry by comparison. No thanks is needed :)

Answer 5

In a humidor, a specially designed encasement for keeping cigars. It has constant humidity and uses a hygrometer to measure humidity levels.

Answer 6

As close to 70 degrees as you can get them. Less, you will have a hard time putting enough humidity in them. More, and you risk a tobacco beetle out break.

Answer 7

Oh man, do NOT do this! Storing cigars in the fridge dries them out. They don't have to be kept cold, but do have to be kept humidified.
