What kills mold on cigars?
Once you have mold you pretty much need to start over. Every cigar in the humidor will be affected. (infected) You could try leaving the humidor open for a week or so and giving it a light sanding and re-humidify it with out cigars for a week or two, then test it with some expendable cigars to see if it ruins them or not. Use a digital hygrometer and the crystal jars not the sponges with water. It make it easier to regulate and keep the mold away. If the humidor is a cheapy, I would toss it and start over.
How do you use a hygrometer?
Hold the hygrometer in the air for a couple of seconds. Be sure not to touch the back of the hygrometer. Check to see where the pointer is pointing.
How do you use thermo hygrometer?
Hygrometer use for measure humidity and temperature.
How does a hygrometer work?
Any instrument for measuring the humidity, or water vapour content, of a gas (usually air). A wet and dry bulb hygrometer consists of two vertical thermometers, with one of the bulbs covered in absorbent cloth dipped into water. As the water evaporates, the bulb cools, producing a temperature difference between the two thermometers. The amount of evaporation, and hence cooling of the wet bulb, depends on the relative humidity of the air.
Does the hygrometer measure the amount of dust in the air?
No, a hygrometer measures humidity; the amount of water in the air.
How do you season a Humidor?
Throw away the directions that come with the humidor. Use the gel or beads. Do NOT use a dial hygrometer. Get a digital hygrometer. Leave it a couple days with no cigars. You are now good to go. This method will save you ALOT of pain. If you have a large humidor get one of the electric units that self regulate and double check it with your digital hygrometer.

How do you install a humidor hygrometer?
Some humidors have the hygrometer mounted on the exterior. You are way better off having a digital hygrometer/thermometer on the inside. (or two) They are more accurate and adjust to current conditions faster. Your smoking experience will be greatly improved when you get your humidifier tuned and accurate.
What level is good for cigar digital hygrometer?
A humidor , along with a hygrometer , should maintain a relative humidity of 70 percent and a temperature of 70 degrees . This 70/70 rule of thumb is not set in stone but more of a guideline .
How do you tell the difference between digital and analog on a compass cigar humidifier?
Get rid of the dial. Trust the digital hygrometer. If you have a large humidor get two.
How do you set the cigar humidor up properly?
Assuming your humidor has a capacity of between 40 and 80, the first thing you need to do is throw the instructions away. Remove the hygrometer and what ever device they supplied to create humidity, and throw them away. You are now on your way to smoking more, and being frustrated less. Buy a combination digital thermometer/hygrometer. Buy a couple of jars of humidification jell (or beads). they release the humidity at a specified rate. I keep the cap off of one and should the digital gauge indicate the levels getting low I remove the other cap. Some times of the year you might be capping both jars. You will find the level where cigars smoke the best. The ideal combo is 70/70. 70% humidity and 70 degrees F. You will learn that humidity levels will fluctuate based on the temp. Since the temp is usually something you cannot control, (you would not lower the temp in your entire home to 70 degrees when your normal summer setting is 76 degrees) you only need to know this: as the temp rises, so will your humidity. So, if your temp is 76 , 70% will be too much humidity. Do not rub the inside of the humidor with water. Allow the jars to work inside your humidor for at least a week before putting cigars in it. 2 weeks is better. Only use distilled water to refill the jars. Don't store the humidor where it can receive direct sunlight. Inside a cabinet or closet is best. Do not store "flavored" and regular cigars in the same humidor. Don't buy a box of anything until you know you like it. Buy samplers. My last bit of advice - There is no such thing as a one dollar cigar... life is too short. Only buy the ones you enjoy.
Who do i comply with the 4 boxes of blackstones cigar that wouldn't pull?
It could be they were rolled wrong. It also could be the humidity is to high in your humidor. They don't smoke very well above 70%. Get a digital hygrometer.
