Correct. The tubes will help but ultimately the materials are porus including zip lock bags. Also depending on how wet the stick was when it was tubed that can be an issue as well. Essentially an over humidified cigar sealed in the tube. For this reason I personally have found over the years that the worst cigars I've experienced were tubed for long periods of time. You want them to be able to breathe naturally in a larger RH controlled environment for the best flavor, burning and aging conditions IME. I'm sure for someone who just smokes cigars as a goof very infrequently the sealed tubes will preserve them fine enough not to be unsmokeable or anything but though

Im not sure what cigars your buying but I have had 100% success with this method but I have only done this with glass tubes, yes temperature and light can effect storing conditions as well and should have been mentioned in the video, I guess the point of the video is you can store cigars in tubes long term if done correctly

+cutlerylover referring to any and all handmade longfiller cigars. Yeah, tubes will help preserve moisture but that's not necessarily a good thing and certainly not indefinitely. It's pretty well documented among serious long term collectors.

my experience goes back 5 years, I smoked a cigar that was tubed 4 years ago last week and it was perfect so if the guys who have more experience than I do wish toi make videos on the subject I encourage it like anything I can only speak from my own experiences, and yes thats all I buy is premium long filler cigars, and as you would know all quality cigars are sold properly humidified, of course there are some factors as mentioned like a smoke shop not storing properly...I agree with living survival in that if you feel a cigar is not humidified to your liking then you may wish to season it before storing it long term in a tube, but the fact remains an airtight seal will not gain or lose humidity...So if stored at the properly humidity it will be the same when opened years later

what places do you buy your cigars? I think its common to buy old sticks in most smoke as most places stock way more than they sell regularly...

Go Tupperware, Norm...,

yes,also I prefer a punch cut to avoid caps falling off and unraveling...

your welcome :)

been to Atlanta once and yes it was like walking through an invisible pool, lol, but be careful too humid leads to mold too

lol you wanna talk about humidity, I live in Miami Florida. That is humidty

If you do a little research, you'll see they are the same as far as humidity goes.

New Orleans here, be careful can get too humid down here.

Is it a soft flame lighter or a jet lighter? And is it refillable?

I think it's a disposable soft flame, I'm gonna get one next time I'm there.

What is it called can you remember?

Captain Dubz feel free subscribe to my channel. Although very new to KZfaq I plan bring a new side cigars.

73 is REALLY high. anything over 70 really is mold and bug territory. Try going for a lower humidity bodeva packet, or using more of them. Depends on the size of your humidor and how well it seals.

I think the hydrogemter that came with it is off, that is why I say its a little high. It reads 73 but when i did the salt test before seasoning it was around 1.5 off. I havnt had any mold or bugs yet, been about a year. All I get is the white stuff on the wrapper which I forget the name of it, I read online it is fine, just nothing on the ends thats green or blue or pink - thats mold. Or so I have read.

Mold can also appear as a whiteish powdery substance and is almost 100% of the time mistaken for "plume" If it's working good for you, that's great. Is the ambient humidity where you're at pretty high all year round? If that's the case, you may want to look into a large airtight tupperware container with some spanish cedar from broken down cigar boxes inside. These will regulate and hold humidity WAY WAY better than a standard wood humidor, and have the advantage of being super cheap. Just some thoughts, hope they help you out.

Thanks and yea its pretty high during the summer seasons high 90 or 100 most days. During the winter its dry though. Ill have to look into Plume more - thanks for the vocab.

MrLiamCooley Definitely go check out the cigars reddit and look up information on tupperdors. It will do you a LOT of good for sealing extra humidity OUT in the summer, and keeping it in during the winter. I live in northern new-england and have similar climate problems to you. The only way I could keep my humidor cool and at the proper humidity was to keep it in the basement all year round. Now I also have a smaller tupperdor i keep upstairs in my desk drawer. You should be able to keep it closer to that 69-ish level, and with very few packets that will last much longer than they will in a regular wood humidor.

Me too

So, 16 year olds aren't allowed to smoke in the U.S.?

Drinking age 21 and smoking age 18, I'm personally not gonna do either because they have damaged a lot of my family members and I don't want to do the same.

Oh I guess I was wrong, I live on the other side of the country and I just googled my state and the law got changed to 21 here also.

+cmdstraker No, it's 18+ in pretty much all civilized countries

cool area, like all tobacco you dont want it too hot or cold, most come in a tin so light doesnt matter much unlike cigars that should not be stored in lit areas too long

Okay, thank you for the reply, my area only carries pouches and bulk bags for the most part, so I've started using mason jars. It seems to work well enough. I didn't know about the light thing, so I guess I'll either find a better storage location or black out the jars.

if it gets too dry wet a filter and place it in the pouch also if its too wet put a dry filter in the pouch this helps add/take away moisture.!

I dont have them yet but yes down the road Ill add them to the test list

Vacuum would dry them out no?

Jon they will dry out.

U can only keep them in there for maximum 2 weeks maybe even 1

How did it turn out?

Coastal Empire , The secret is to treat your weed just as a good quality cigar. Humidity is a must in order to keep the potency and flavor. I suggest buying a cheap humidifier and keeping it set around 69%. You will definitely notice a difference than just regular storage. Keep it real 🤜💥🤛

In your lungs stupid stoner

We get them around here for about $20.

I called a local cigar shop and was told they arent available in canada :(

Shame. When my friend had his first kid I bought us a pair of them.

You're not missing much. I've had plenty of expensive "infused" cigars. They're either very meh, with very little indication that there is any infusion at all, or they're overpowering and almost like a flavored cigar. Just a gimmick, if you ask me...similar to the Dragon's Milk cigars.

If you like Maker's Mark don't smoke this cigar. Major let down for me and simply marketing. Stick with Acids if you like a flavored smoke.

I respectfully disagree...acid cigars taste nothing at all like bourbon infused cigars not all infused cigars taste the same...its not comparable

Who said they tasted the same?

its a general statement in reply to your suggestion..."Stick with Acids if you like a flavored smoke." you are suggesting if someone likes flavored cigars they will like acids, when acids taste nothing at all like any other flavored cigars so if someone likes flavored cigars that means they either already know what acids taste like or your suggestions means nothing to them since they never tasted something similar...its like saying I was disappointed with pepperoni pizza but if you like pizza you should try mushroom...

cutlerylover i was simply saying one would buy a maker's mark to enjoy the bourbon taste and to me they tasted nothing like that. Most avid cigar smokers don't like flavored cigars of any kind but if you wanted to try a good one I recommend Acids.

yes, weed or tobacco its still the same there is a preferred moisture level you want, too dry it burns hot and tastes bad, too wet it can get moldy or not stay list very well...

Ill say this, if PA every legalizes it for personal use, I am sure I woudl make a video or 2 however I know for a fact I would not be a pot head again, just doesnt fit my life as an adult at all...

forever as is as long as your alive and probably if your kids find it way after your dead it will be fine to smoke forever

@@cutlerylover 😂

Shart

Draven Walsh That is a real wax seal. The "hinge" you see is a tape pull tab under the wax to help you break the wax seal. I just received 10 cigars like this today and they are exactly the same as this.
