Xikar Crystal Humidifier Jar - 4 oz

Will use it very shortly.I heard good comments about it.

Ne pas hésiter à en prendre 2 si votre cave à 100 cigares. Idéal pour avoir une humidité au top sans stress !

It helps, but I prefer Boveda bags

Super

I purchased these as a way of providing humidification in a few coolerdors to handle the overflow of cigars from by cabinet humidor. In each of the 3 coolers, I have this Xikar 4oz jar coupled with a  Xikar Cigar Humidifier (For humidor of 250 cigars)  magnetically held humidifier. The coolerdors are 48qt size and the 2 devices together provide a constant 68% to 70% humidity in each. I'm using PG solution to recharge them and check the levels every 2 weeks or so. The only concern I have is the dark spots in the gel...which Xikar says is normal. While these items are a bit more money than the off brands, I'm putting my trust of my cigars in the hands of a company that has never let me down...whether it's their cutters, punches, v-cutters, their cigars (which surprisingly are pretty good), and their cigar traveler cases. The first setup is about 6 months old, the second is about 4 months old, and I just set up the third one about a month ago....all are registering the same humidity levels measured by calibrated digital hygrometers. When you think about it, this is a small price to pay when you factor in the cost of the cigars they protect. I'm happy with their performance so far and I'll update this review should something change. As a point of reference to all that read this review, I'm a 35+ year cigar smoker and have tried all types of humidification solutions over the years and this version is one of the most reliable I've experienced first hand.UPDATE 2/25/2015: Still going strong after almost 3 years. They hold a consistent 64 to 68% humidity in my coolerdors without fail. I was never a fan of gel humidification, but these have changed my mind about them. Highly recommended.
