It's that time of year when humidors, especially those stored in the basements of houses in America's temperate zone states have finally rebounded from the battering of the winter, when homes become dry and maintaining humidity levels in our humidors, especially those beautiful looking desk top models that so many of us use to adorn our bars, coffee tables and the top of our ex-fiancee's piano, which she may never pick up anyway, becomes a daily battle, and an often frustrating one.
All the above readings were taken within the past 15-18 hours, and without the assistance water "dishes" that I place in each humidor during the winter to help boost the humidifiers in their efforts to struggle against the dryness of the climate. Desk Top I did need me to place a booster water dish in it again long after I had removed them from the others and also Desk Top I. This particular humidor, although having the best seal of the four, has the most difficulty in maintaining proper humidity levels.
But now we are in the season where humidors stabilize and it becomes less of a daily battle to maintain proper readings, when we can relax for a couple of months, knowing that our cigars are in good stead, each one waiting patiently for its time to be smoked, and us knowing that when we reach in and choose it that it will be properly primed for our puffing pleasure.
So, go forth, all you temperate zone cigar smokers, enjoy this beautiful Memorial Day Weekend, take appropriate time out to observe it in its properly intended spirit, smoke one for the servicepeople past, present and future, and remember, . . .
when that first heat wave hits, you'll have to keep those humidors open a little more frequently and for occasional long periods of time. You wouldn't want to . . .
Meet The Beetles, . . .
not that way, anyway. :wink:
SEMPER FI!!! And all that good stuff.
