The Magic of the Drift, Drifts On

Where seldom (actually never!!!!) was heard a discouraging word, and we learned about the weather, clouds, sun, rain, wind, heat, snow, cold, every day!!

Snubby, be very careful, I read somewhere that EMU's are still on the prowl, and they favor cigars after one of their nefarious clandestine raids !
Keep the hatchet sharp and close by, in case there are more than six in the raiding party!

I got the boys on alert:
 
No tobacconist out here, good, bad or indifferent.
Hence the reason I get my cigars from gas stations and liquor stores.
However there is this thing called Amazon.com and they have most everything I'll need.
I've been checking out proper humidors.

find a drug store and pick up some propylene glycol. Mix it 50/50 with distilled water and presoak the sponge. Hopefully that will get you near 70% relative humidity. If your tupador drops below 70% rh that will put off some moisture and taking things back near 70% rh. Unfortunately the 50/50 mix will not suck up excess humidity if the tupador goes above 70%rh. Much passed 70%rh mold becomes a problem. Much passed 75%rh which is where you will get with just water in the sponge and mold and exploding cigars that will drawing like smoking through wood dowel.

Over the years I've settled on 65-67% rh. I use a silica bead in my humidors that keep things dead steady in that range.
