Don't know what to think

I have not seen the guage above 60 yet. I've had the humidifier for over a month now and the needle on that guage has not passed 60. Even after filling the canister with this product. Am I doing something wrong?

Pros
  • great deal for the quantity Cigars are very happy if they can just stay long enough in the humidor.
Cons
  • The solution has a strong chemical smell that can affect the taste of cigars

Stabilizes at 70% RH

Stabilizes humidor at 70% relative humidity, and has a good price compared to others. Good about this is that it's pre-mixed. No need to do abything else.You can even replenish humidifier sponge with just distilled water after it has this solution in it, and still keep it at 70%. That is if you use a kiln-dried Spanish cedar humidor.

Pros
  • Glad I bought it. Works very good and much much better than plain water
Cons
  • There are cheaper alternatives available on the market

As advertised, keeps average sized humidors at 70%

In Iowa, roughly 30-50% humidity during winter, a 2-oz jars filled with XiKar will last for a couple months in an average sized humidor of 50-100 cigars, and keep it right around 70% humidity as advertised. Thus, one of these 8-oz bottles should last several months. I have the 2-oz jar currently in a 28-quart cooler and it's running around 65% using an analog hygrometer adjusted using the "salt test." So with larger humidors you may want the 4- or 8-oz jars.

Pros
  • It works as described.
Cons
  • The solution may cause skin irritation if it comes into contact with your skin

This Humidifier Solution Really Works.

Xikar is more expensive than most of these humidifier solutions. If you canget it at a reasonable price, great! They pretty much all have the same ingredients. I'm not sure this is any better than others, but Xikar has a grreat name for cigar accessories.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Ddnt come as advertised.
