View Full Version : question for travel humi owners
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.
its still in my 5 cigar caddy... but i dont really use it.. i dont leave my cigars in there for more than a day or two anyhow.

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.
thanks for the responses. it will be humidipaks and beads from viper139.

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.
