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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It matters in my review

I have about 120 cigars in my humidor. I've had it happen.cigars got too moist and grew spores. I caught it early, so a light rubbing with a cloth took care of it with no ill effects.I've used distilled water in foam based humidifiers and gel beads refreshed with distilled water. Neither of them work consistently.and it's nerve racking when you can't trust your humidity system to take care of your collection. I've been using glycol now for quite a while, and the humidity level is rock solid. Even better, when it starts to drop, it drops slowly, so you have ample warning that the humidifier needs to be refreshed.The best thing is, that the humidity never goes above about 75% on my salt-calibrated hygrometer.and that is just about perfect.and I'm not seeing any mold growth.BTW, make sure that the bottle you get has the quality seal under the cap.some reviewers found that the quality seal was missing, and the product was apparently a knock-off.and it didn't perform well. Send it back if the seal is missing.

Pros
  • Affordable solution for maintaining cigar freshness
Cons
  • May be difficult to remove from humidifiers once dried on
