As long as you put propylene glycol in it or there's PG already in your humidifier, club soda would be okay.
No , the antifreeze contains chemicals that would contaminate the cigars and the humidor .
No, isopropyl alcohol should not be used to replace propylene glycol in a cigar humidor. Propylene glycol is specifically formulated for maintaining humidity levels in a humidor without affecting the cigars' flavor, while using isopropyl alcohol can potentially alter the taste and aroma of your cigars. It's best to stick with propylene glycol for proper cigar storage.
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.
cimoke humidor very nice.
My grandfather kept his cigars in a humidor.
Nine cubic feet? Wow. Are you building this humidor yourself?If I was building a humidor that big, I would get about two square feet of the foam florists use to arrange fresh flowers in and cut it into chunks. Soak each one in 50/50 propylene glycol and distilled water, and place them in various positions in the humidor. This will help the humidity get into the atmosphere of the box evenly.
No. The carbon dioxide gas dissolved in club soda makes it acidic. Baking soda is basic, and the pH of your dish will not be balanced.
Yes. Just make sure it is a medical grade sterile water. Don't use boiled tap water. Ideally you should use propylene glycol (PG) as well.
club soda
No, but you can use club soda instead.
A humidor is basically a special storage container. All you need to do is put the cigar in the container and make sure it is closed. For any storage more than a day, your humidor should also have a source of humidity and a gauge to show you what the humidity levels are at inside. It is also helpful to know the temperature since temperature affects humidity and high temperatures can cause tobacco beetle infestation. I recommend a digital hygrometer/thermometer for ease of use and accuracy. The gauge and humidification system that comes with nearly all humidifiers are junk. Look into jells, beads or for larger systems a 110v humidifier which uses only distilled water. A correctly regulated humidor will reward you with the fine smoking experience you are seeking.
Club soda can be used to remove ink marks. However, it will work better if it is combined with baking soda. Together they will bubble up quite a bit, and work to completely remove the stain.
