I just got a Otter travel humi, can hold 10churchills.

I used a mix of PG and dist water, and it has been almost 12 hours, and the rh won't rise above 56%. I am in FL right now, it is never hard to get rh up when I am down here. Any help?

You can drill small holes in a cigar tube & fill with beads!


Personally I have never put anything (other then cigars) in my travel boxes. If they get warm (in a car) on a sunny day the RH can jump so high your smokes become so damp you can smoke them.
In real cold wetaher nothing is going to help - but if your putting smokes in it for ane evening out nothing will happen tot hem!
 
Well - I keep a travel box in my car at all times -
I have had hot days in NY with the sun beating on the car that has effected my cigars so much they were unsmokable :?
I'd take them out of the box and put the on the dash board to let the warm sun dry them before I smoked them - but sometime they fall apart from the heat :cry:
 
Thanks for the help guys.

I noticed that in some pictures on the otter website, all the cigars in the caddies still had the cellophane wrapper. I think putting a cigar directly under the credo without cellophane could mess it up, that is why they show it that way in the picture. Any thoughts?
 
Credo are known to drip shortly after being filled.
It is something to be careful of!
But take my advise and use it like it is from now on.
If you put cigars in ti that are stored at the right RH, they will be fine for weeks!

I bought a "generic" type of travel humi styled like an otterbox that has a rectangular humidifier that is located in the end of the box rather than over the cigars. I took the green foam stuff out and put beads in. Works great.

I like this idea - if the humi gets warm it should suck out some humidity

I did the same thing with my humidor and then stopped using the credo - My cigars smoke fine!
 
I was able to do that with both my dekstops, but in my tupperdors, I am using the home made tube method. No muss, no fuss for sure.
 
My fifteen count works great. My only complaint is that the case doesn't hold 15 cigars inside. Once the trays are in and 50+ ring guage cigars added, the last five cigars are above the lower part of the case so if you tip it at all, your sticks will fall out. But I still like it much better than the vertical 7ct. tube I was using. I have a tube of beads in it. I intentionally bought the 15 so I wouldn't be troubled by loosing a space.
 
I have an otterbox as well, and I keep a C.com water pillow in with my sticks and don't bother with the little built-in credo (I cut the little baggie back a bit so the pillow side is exposed with the box closed and pressing down on it.). Works well for me, but I only keep sticks in there for 2-3 days at a time, before I have to "reload" it.
