Humidor With Tray

Description

The Preston Bubinga humidor highlights a striking high gloss Bubinga wood finish accentuated with silver hardware, chrome plate pull, internal locking hinges, and a matching Meisterwerke lock & key set. The interior has a removable tray, mirror-finish silver humidifier, silver framed hygrometer, and two adjustable dividers. The cover features an invisible steel lining directly underneath the cedar along with magnet sets recessed into the back of the humidifier and hygrometer; allowing reliable mounting at all times. Holds 130 cigars. Exquisite quality and feel.

Special Instructions: Product Care
Setting Up: When setting up the humidifier for the first time, remove any dust from the manufacturing process by wiping down the interior with a clean, dry cloth. To begin, if the humidor is new or has not been used for some time, place a small shallow bowl or container of distilled water inside the box. Close the lid and let it acclimate for 12-24 hours. Once the time has passed, if a large portion of the water has evaporated, re-fill the bowl a second time and leave it inside the cigar humidor for another 24 hours. Once the water stops evaporating, proceed to the next step “”Charging the Humidifier””.

Charging the Humidifier:
Just before loading cigars into the humidor, remove the cigar humidifier unit from the box (this is the sponge-like plastic device that is soaked in distilled water). Submerge the cigar humidifier in distilled water or humidifier solution for 30 minutes. Remove it from the water or solution, dry and set it face down on a paper towel for 30 minutes. This is to allow excess water to escape from the humidifier so that water leakage on the cigars is avoided. Once this step is complete, secure the humidifier to the inside of the box using the included velcro adhesive or magnets. The humidor is now seasoned and the cigars can now be set inside.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting:

• Humidity levels are too low:
• For the first few days after the humidor is filled with cigars, be sure to occasionally check its hygrometer(if your humidor includes one) to ascertain that the humidifier does not require resoaking. If your humidor does not come with a hygrometer, simply re-soak your humidifier once every 2-3 weeks to keep your cigars in check. For drier environments, resoak every 1.5-2weeks. A reading of 68-70% relataive humidity is most desirable, although a bit above or below (64-72% depending on preference) is not detrimental to your cigars. Once the humidity drops below the ideal chosen relative humidity percentage, it is time to re-charge the humidifier. If the desired humidity is still not reached or the cigar seems a bit dry, consider adding additional humidification devices (humidifier gel jars, gel tubes, additional humidifiers or a shot glass/shallow container of distilled water).
• Humidity levels too high:
• Occasionally, a humidor will become overly saturated or its humidity level will be too high. If this is the case, leave the humidor open partially to allow some of the moisture to escape or add additional cigars into the humidor. The cigars will assist in absorbing some of the excess humidity. If this still is not sufficient in reducing the moisture level, remove the humidifier for a period of time.
