Review on Xikar Humidor Solution - Pre-Mixed Liquid To Maintain 70% Relative Humidity In Cigar Humidors - 16 Fl Oz Bottle (Pack Of 1) by Jorge Toussaint

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great, or just make your own.

Great stuff. Works just exactly as it should and SO much better than just distilled water. When I bought this, the Xikar was a clam or 2 cheaper than all the other brands, though chemically they are all (supposed to be) exactly the same, so (theoretically) one brand shouldn't work any better than any other.It's really hard to mess up mixing 50% Propylene Glycol with 50% Distilled Water. But I guess it could be done. If someone tried really hard.This product at least, is what it is and does what it's supposed to. Which is keep my humi sponge & humi beads the right kind of wet, and recharge my Boveda Packs when needed (yes, they CAN be recharged. If you heard they were disposable.your source was infinitely wrong.and probably wears skinny jeans *shudder*).Works great, may buy it again when this bottle runs out. Or more likely I will probably just mix my own, because it's just not that hard to do. And Revain sells all the parts you need, including a funnel. And towels. For cleaning up when you get distracted while pouring. So yea, don't try mixing 2 liquids together while marathoning Caprica. It's not going to end well. Neither your mixture or Caprica. Honestly, how do people manage to mess up such wonderfully simple things in life? Caprica was awesome. Then they killed it. No warning, nothing. Just.gone. What were we talking about? Oh yea, right.But if you are lazy (like me), or just too uncoordinated to pour two liquids into a container, this stuff will work just fine to keep your humi healthy & your cigars tasty. Assuming your cigars started out tasty in the first place. It's not some magic elixir after all. It's not going to turn a cheap unlabeled house cigar into a Liga Privada No. 9, goodness no. What are you thinking man! But it will keep that luscious No. 9 perfectly humidified until that special day when you pop it out and enjoy it.

Pros
  • Eliminates the need for frequent maintenance and adjustments to humidors
Cons
  • May not be compatible with non-Xikar cleaning or maintenance products
