@@ChristIsLord7 Haha who do you think created that bro? 😎

@@DLovWifeoh my bad. I only made it through 8 minutes of your video. This video had no business being 20 min long 😂

Short attention span? That sucks bro. Haha Well, there are tons of gems in every video that I post. My videos have helped thousands of people and I am extremely proud of that. My information has spread so far out there that people like your self try to teach me things that I brought to the cigar community. It’s funny when it happens. I hope that you continue to enjoy any and all videos. 😃💪

Basically the conditioning process works like this. If my cigars are let’s say 70% RH, and I place the cigars in the dry box which naturally rest at 55% RH @ 70 degrees. The cigars will find an equilibrium point between the high of the cigar and the low of the dry box. Basically my cigar will be lowered to the low 60% RH @ 70 degrees under the cap. This may take a few days, weeks, to a month depending on the size of the cigar and moisture retention. If you keep your cigars at 62% RH, then your cigars will find an equilibrium point between the 62% and the high end of your cigar as time passes. This process is going to take much longer because you will be bringing down your cigars in a wetter environment than mine. After an extended long period of time, I suppose it’s possible to have your cigars gradually fall all the way to 62% under the cap, but I couldn’t tell you how long that would take. 🤷‍♂️ Also, I don’t know the long term effects of storing cigars at low humidity levels for an extended period of time. I tend to store my cigars as close as I possibly

Thank you bro! 🙏 Watch my troubleshooting your humidor video. It explains how everything works.

Wrong once again. If your cigar comes to your house with a humidity level 70% under the cap, and you place that cigar in a humidor at 62%. The cigar will drop to approximately 65% under the cap. That is still a very wet cigar. I smoke all of my cigars between 59%-62%. 63% is the highest I will attempt to smoke.

If you don’t dry box, then your cigars burn like shit. Based off what you are telling me. I already know your cigars burn like shit and you lack flavor.

@@DLovWife bro I work in a cigar shop I know lol it also depends on what the climate is in the state you live in as well. Every state in every climate are different if you dry box in Colorado or out west they'll be cracked by the time you come back to them and not smokeable. Where I live in the midwest it's like walking into a humidor in the summer time. You set your cigars out they'll be more humid than they will if you keep them in a humidor

​@@DLovWifealso if you're smoking Cuban cigars they should be at about 55% humidity

@@lawnfreak3543 I don’t care where you work. I have a chemistry degree and over 16 years of work experience. You know nothing, sorry to tell you.

No, that’s not how it works. If you keep your humidor at 65%. Your cigar finds an equilibrium point between 65% and the humidity level your cigar arrives at. Unless your cigar can match my burn lines and draw. There is nothing to debate. 🤷‍♂️

100% that rule came from me. In all honesty. Anything over 63 has issues for me.

Wrong, more like 73% @ 70 degrees Fahrenheit. That is the mold level. Lastly, I don’t use humidification. Cigars go directly into a weather tight containers without any added moisture. Unless you use a dry box or keep your humidor open to drier air. you can’t remove the moisture. Just that simple

Thank you bro! 😃

I am so glad my wife and I could help! 😃

Cooler and dryer is better. 70/70 is too wet and too warm for long term storage. 70 degrees is fine but you wanna be mid 60s rh. 65/65 beats 70/70 every time. For long term aging and storing you can go colder and low 60s. 60/60 honestly

Haha thank you brother! 😃💪

Deviation depends on the detector of the meter itself. All detectors no matter the calibration still have standard deviations. I deal primarily with short term storage/conditioning process. When my cigars arrive to my house, they are high in humidity. I use weather tight containers with zero humidification added for long term storage. The containers rest where they rest. Dry boxing however, allows you to remove the moisture using wooden humidors without humidity. My dry boxes are round 55%. The 55% pulls the cigars to the low 60s. 59%-62% is where I like to smoke. Anything above 63% is wet. Basically, cigars find equilibrium points. Cigars don’t go all the way to storage humidity under the cap @ 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

If you store cigars @ 62%, and your cigar on arrival are at 70% under the cap. Your cigar will only drop to around 65%. I find anything above 63% is a wet cigar. In fact 63% is at the high end of a cigar I will smoke. I aim for 59%-62% under the cap @70 degrees.

lol You are very welcome bro!

Sadly most reviewers care more about volume, than giving a high quality review. There are more subscribers and views in the volume game. The more reviews a UA-camr drops per week, the more you have to take their review with a grain of salt. Most are only in it for the free cigars unfortunately. 😏

@DLovWife knowing this from the beginning would've saved me a lot of cigars and bad experiences. I watched tons of "beginner" videos and never heard of drying them.

Thank you so much for the love and support! 💪 Hopefully I can keep everyone updated more often on the delicious treats my wife and I are making. Have a blessed on friend. 😃

Haha Yes Sir!

😂 🤣 Absolutely. I actually enjoyed this cigar. It is a little young, but it has crazy potential. Sitting on 3 boxes of these right now. Might go for a 4th soon. 😁💪

Haha 😂 🤣. Definitely thinking about it brother.

@@DLovWife if you come back I’ll make a cigar IG page! They haven’t had any new ideas.

@@SoCaliCal I have noticed that too bro. I thought you had IG already? Man, I still post on there every now and then. 😃

@@DLovWife yeah man no IG for me still debating it lol.

@Calical8706 I actually like it better in all honesty. UA-cam demands more of your time imo. Long form vs short form content.

Yes Sir!

Thank you bro! Decided to post something. Just our way of giving a little update. 😃

Thank you bro! At the moment, I am a huge fan of Felipe Gregorio. I have pretty much been smoking any and everything that man has put out. My all time favorite cigar is a Don Aurturo Destino el siglo Opus X. Hmm, I don’t really do pairings. I enjoy smoking cigars without coupling it with anything the best. 😃

We retired from UA-cam brother. Thank you for supporting us. The journey has been fun. 😃

@@DLovWife ok buddy, thanks for everything you’ve done .👍🏻 such a shame but thanks again to both of you.

Honestly, the advice you have given has been game changing for me, especially around dry boxing, but also the brands you have recommended, I’m in the uk and have to buy cigars from Germany, we go on holiday there every year so no problem. But I’m buying all the stuff you recommend and it’s all stunning. So thanks again brother for all your advice, and all the very best to you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@MG-iu9yj I am glad that my wife and I were able to help you maximize your smoking experience. Who knows, maybe we will come back if we ever get a good work life balance again. 😃

Yep

@@DLovWifewhat temp do you like it?

@Beeppoop My storage temperature is at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. I dry box my cigar between 60% -63% RH under the cap. I have even gone down as low as 58% under the cap to get the cigar to open up. 😃

I open my humidors once every two weeks and do an inspection. If your humidor is running on the high side for moisture, then you definitely run the risk of mold.

@@DLovWife ok thank you !

💪

Hey Bro! My wife and I retired from being cigar reviewers a few months ago. It became extremely hard to keep it going with how much I work. If things ever calm down again, then I might try to get back to it. 😃

Thank you! 😃

Thank you bro!

Haha 😂 🤣

Yes Sir! 😃

We are doing well brother. We retired from the cigar reviewer life a few months ago. It was just time to move on. Thank you for subscribing and showing the channel love 😃💪

@@DLovWife good to know that the 2 of you are alive and well. Thank you for responding. Let’s keep in touch

The includes most of the top reviewers.

@@DLovWife thanks for the reply :) What about the RH of the environment you're smoking in. For example in the dry winter months do you want your cigars to have more humidity or less to match the environment? Cheers :)

It takes a long time for tobacco to absorb moisture into the leaves. Unless you smoke in the rain. You will be fine. I always shoot for my cigars to be between 60% -63% RH under the cap. If you find you are smoking too dry, then smoke at a higher RH. If you find the cigar to be too wet then smoke at a lower RH. The ground work is up to you. 😃

I love most of the cigars he puts out. Just give him a try. 😃

Hell yeah bro! My boy Cigar Lee has a fire collection.

Yes sir! 🥳

Thank you bro! 😃

Thank you bro! Hopefully the information improves your smoking experience. 😃

100% bro! I can tell you that I refuse to smoke a cigar without conditioning it first. 😃💪

Yes sir! Happy hunting bro. 😁

Hell yeah bro. Controlling temperature is extremely important brother! I am able to store all of my cigars in weather tight containers because my home has stable temperatures. I use my KingChii as a dry box because it provides me with even more control over temperature. This increased my efficiency in conditioning my cigars. Hell, I would even question if you need to have Boveda in your thermoelectric with the high humidity levels you spoke about in your home. I haven’t used Boveda in years. I find it to be unnecessary unless you store cigars in wooden humidors. As for losing oils, It’s all about monitoring brother. If you feel like you need to add moisture because your cigars are feeling on the dry side, then you add moisture as needed. Just be attentive and you won’t have any issues. 😃

@@DLovWife My man! Ok. I was having huge temp swings and i think that’s one of the reasons i was having so many troubles, that and maybe since i had so many tups and desktops i wasn’t opening them all regularly enough for air exchange? Either way with all the sticks in one place with controlled temp and the lower rh they’re doing great right now. I’ll take your advice I’ll just see how long i can ride this gravy train lol. As far as the high humidity in the house the issue was that wasn’t a way to drybox them as both the humidity in the house and outside were sitting either close to or over 69 pretty much all times. It’s an issue that can’t go unaddressed because we obviously don’t want mold/mildew in the crib. I had bought a refurb’d dehumidifier but it tried to flood the house lol. Just waiting for a brand new unit i bought if best buy ever stop bs’n around lol. So once i do get the rh in my home down to let’s say 40-50ish then the bovedas might not be as redundant since i do open my wineador quite a bit. Thanks for giving me some peace of mind as always my brother of the leaf!

We are happy to help brother! 😃
