Aww, it ain't that confusing. All I said is a sponge ain't very spongy after you fill it with water.
Someone should have worked in a picture of boobs. That usually helps.

That would have been a really nice way to make me pay attention to a topic that is way over my head.

When did this board become a nuclear physicist discussion boards?

I hypothesize that if the cigars aren't held at 62.5473038372% rH then they will be taken from you when the aliens come to take over the world. The only way to accurately maintain such an rH is to mix beads, PG, kitty litter, and floral foam in a blender and then pour over the cigars like a nice beurre blanc sauce.

If you are planning to do this, please send the cigars to me first! I will make better use of them than a sauce will allow!

Beads Vs KL crystals: So far I have yet to see one post that has 100% correct answers in regards to RH from your experiments with either Beads or KL crystals.
If RH of 65-70% was all that was vital, we would all be squared away. However, I have seen nothing on what your temperature are reading. I'm no expert by far but have been doing this for quit a while now and know from personal failure that even if you are right on the hammer with 65-70% RH you can still kill all of your cigars by not storing them in the correct temp as well. Both are extremly important. The temp should be at least 72F and no more than 75F for good storge and aging purposes. Now, it also depends on the sticks you are storing or aging. It's not all the same for ever cigar so be carfull when tuning your humidors.
Everthing from the ring size, length, wrapper, and current age of cigar from the grower will play a key role in getting this science working for you. I have found that on most of my cigars they are perfect at the 2 yr aging mark. I have had some that have gone south at the 5 yr mark.
Now I like the KL crystals myself for quantity and performance as well as price Vs the Beads. Plus they are easier to charge and stabilze a bit quicker. But to each their own, RIGHT?
Just looking out for anyone who loves their stogie's and doesn't enjoy throwing them and their money away when things go wrong. A dollar is a dollar! Better to smoke that dollar than to lose it out of lack of knowledge.

I respectfully and wholeheartedly disagree. Welcome to the Asylum.

Welcome to Cigar Asylum, it would be great if you could head over to the New Inmates area and post an intro.

I saw something about a boob picture earlier in this thread, scrolled all the way to the new posts, and NOTHING!!

Temp at least 72F? That's more ludicrous than the rule of 3s.

What's SAP?

And it doesn't even sound as good

The rule of 3's kinda rolls off your tongue and has that stupid yet confident aspect about it that we all know and love.

Just when I thought this was another new thread about KL.......

A bumped old one, just as bad.

Stuff that runs out of trees to make delicious things like maple syrup.



nah...

Super Absorbent Polymers, for example: cigar gel like Humi-Care or the goop inside a water pillow.
