This morning I put cigars I received in the mail. About a hour ago I opened up to get a cigar out and noticed my xikar gel humidifier was oozing and leaked on to some cigars. 2 of the sticks was pretty bad so I just discarded and some of my cigars I just added had a little on them that I wiped off. My question is are they ruined? It was on quite a few.

Dayum! What a bummer. Sad

No words of wisdom other than going forward you might wanna change to Heartfelt beads.

Oh, and expect some chit for this being your first post and no "proper" intro. Gonz

Dry box for a few days. If they were Gurkha discard in trash. Just smoke it up.

I threw away the 3 or 4 that had quite a bit on them and just wiped off the little bit off the others that got on it by touching the bad ones. Ordering beads now, done with the gel.

Well, except Bovedas.

But I use both. Overcharge beads when things dry out, and the bovedas plump back up. Pound of beads and a dozen bovedas per.

But yes, accepting advice, getting the right product, is wicked smart. Good job noob.

But... did you buy a pound of 65% or 70%?

Fishing is 1000x better than golf.

How did a thread - by a newb - about BEAD LEAKAGE - stay this on track?

Ice fishing is awesome... never done it, but it's fishing, hence awesome... how's a round of ice golf sound?

Yeah teedubya, they tasted a little salty.

Murray8675309 put on your big girl panties, and put on a coat snookems. I gave you real advise, many people use clear unscented kitty litter. Google it.

Yeah, dude, if you can't take a little good-natured hazing you may as well just quit visiting the forum.

Macs doesn't do a lot of ice fishing... only when he comes up here. They have very little ice by him, unless it's in the cooler or his drink.

If you where smart enough to figure out this and many other forums are 80% blow hards, then you'd be smart enough to figure out kitty litter is for cats to piss on (hence the word "kitty" in the name), and not for use in a humidor full of cigars. d'oh!

The same rule applies to Gurkhas that haven't had anything spilled on them. Herfing

Also works perfectly with gel instead of the beads. Boveda + gel jars. Same result.
