Winter + Cigars = More Work.

As we draw to the close of another winter (I hope) here in the Midwest I thought I’d share another good “common sense” Blog over at Cigar101.

The premise of their post is the effects of cold weather on your cigars.
And what could happen to cigars that are shipped (and perhaps left on the porch) during the winter.

But I think the best little tidbit there talks about what happens once you get them inside. It’s a reminder we all need to hear more often. In the winter you must be more vigilant with regard to maintaining your humidor’s RH%

I shamefully admit I have had a hard time keeping up with this battle.
I bought a cigar oasis some time ago because I thought it would help.
And to be fair it did. But even with the mighty oasis I must refill the reservoir much more often in the winter. (thankfully not as much as I did BEFORE I got the oasis)

The only part of the article I didn’t agree with was the standard advice of 70/70 humidor conditions.
I personally like to keep my RH% at 65-68.
