I only smoke 3-4 cigars per week in the weekend. I can really look forward to it. It's a whole experience for me to choose a cigar for the evening and smell it many times before finally cutting it, toasting it and tasting the first complex but delicious flavours. I hope to one day try your cigars!

@@EPCarrilloCigars Several brands, and types. I tend to enjoy the more full body robusta ones. It also depends what the local stores have available. Unfortunately they don't have your brand and online ordering in The Netherlands is forbidden. I just got intrigued with your cigars by watching many of your videos. I love the videos for being informative and I like the company's story and being a family company.
This has been very helpful because everyone has an opinion but coming from a trusted source i will definitely be changing a few things in my own humidor 👍

From a novice smoker: I had some fine cigars in my traveler humidor with some bóveda packs that surprisingly dried out unexpectedly. I noticed that two of them were dry and cracked at the cap once I cut them for smoking. I noticed two things, a.) the slight unraveling at the draw side of the cigar allowed for some draw leakage (frustrating) and b.) taste was strangely different than what those cigars typically taste when they seems properly humid. I came to these conclusions as a novice and prior to watching this video, so this definitely resonated with my experience a few weekends ago. Thanks Liz for bringing this type of conversation to the channel!

There is a documentary on KZread about Davidoff and the manager explain that cellophane is permeable to air and oil but not to liquid and allows aging on cigars even though might slow it down.
Thanks for video, but can you explain a little bit more why you do not recommend wipping new humidor with destiled water? Thank you.

Tubos? In or out of the cedar lined tube in the humidor? David is correct, cracked in the trash can. May I add that separating totally, different humidors, lessens the chance of beetle expansion. I have had that AND seen beetle hole(s) in Partagas (Cuban) on store display. Thanks for a good informative video.

I have a wine/ cigar humidor and I struggle to maintain proper humidity. Shelves are cedar but walls are plastic. Any suggestions?
@EPCarrilloCigars
Жыл бұрын
Odds are if it was designed as a cooler for wine it has holes to allow for less humidity. You need to find the holes and block them with either clear silicon or small pieces of duct tape. The easiest way to find them is to empty out all the shelves and look for wholes in the plastic walls potentially using a flashlight. Once they are sealed also make sure that the door has a good tight seal and then use your humidification system and bring it to proper humidity. Depending on the system you might need to adjust up or down by the output or quantity of devices (for example if you are using Boveda style bags vs a small humidifier). This should resolve your problem.

I do not totally agree with some of the comments in this video. He does not identify whether he’s referring to New World or old world cigars. Old world cigars require aging and depending on the cigar itself, long-term can make a cigar extremely great.
Hey David, what's your favorite way to test the calibration of your Hygrometer?
@EPCarrilloCigars
3 жыл бұрын
Testing a Hygromter is best done with the Boveda One Step Calibration kit that they have. The trick is to clearly follow the instructions and then figure out the difference in your Hygrometer RH to the Boveda RH and either calibrate the hygrometer it if the allows for this, or remember the difference between the 2 Rh levels.
🔴🔴🔴 Pardon my ignorance in asking this question.... I have always watched cigar collectors and affectionados keep their cigars in humidors to protect and age their tobacco. Now my question concerns their blending the different brands in the same system box. I think by mixing the cigars in the same humidor will change the flavoring tastes by the time when one selects one to smoke. So then how can we get the true taste since each is feeding and withdrawing flavors from all the other stored in the box? Shouldn’t each brand have its own humidor?

Better not since that sponge will impart too much humidity. If you can purchase a Boveda pack or similar product this would be better since it is a two way system and controls the amount of humidity in the bag. Also leave the bag zipped closed with the Boveda or similar item.
