some companies supply a small foam type humidifier in their travel humis. Cigar caddy uses one, and Cigar Classics provides a small Paradigm humidifier in the Haliburton cases.. Do you use these humidifiers? I have pulled them out of my airtight travel humidors, and just rely on a couple of humidipaks and the cigars themselves to keep the case humidified. Whats your opinion?

I ordered a Climax bead portable little tube from an online vendor and use that in my ZERO and my Otterbox. Works like a charm. The other thing I used to use is a tube of the gel. That worked great too.

I have a Colibri travel humidor that has the small/long foam filled humidifier. I believe I would prefer to use the Humipaks.

I don't put anything addittional in the Otterbox's. I just let the cigars themselves do the job in the airtight container.

I have another traveldor that I had to manufacture a seal on and I use beads in a tubo for that one.

I don't use the foam type humidifier either, I use beads in mine. I have not put a hygrometer in mine lately to test it out. I was thinking about going with some Humidipaks to see how those work. Plus I would be able to carry another cigar in my 5 count cigar caddy.

I punched small holes all over an old aluminum cigar tube and filled it with beads. Throw that in my otterboxes and no worries.

I never add anything to the humidifier in my caddy either.

I never used the supplied humidifier either. waste of $ to include one with the travel humi. Humidipaks or beads will work best for those who want a humidifier.

I took the original humidifier out of both of my Otter Boxes. They overhumidifed the cigars big time.

I just took the foam out of the humidifier and filled it with 65% beads for my otterbox same with my smaller case works fine.
