Onyx Precision Humidifier Review

The Onyx Precision Humidifier is an excellent choice to keep the delicate cigars in shape. As most of the cigar lovers tend to purchase their cigars in bulk, storing them properly without spoiling is not an easy task. Especially in the dry and cold areas of the world, maintaining the correct relative humidity becomes impossible without the aid of good humidifiers.

Cigars are basically hygroscopic products and like other organic substances they either dry in a lower humidity level or absorb water in case of high humidity levels. In both the scenarios, the cigar is ruined. A dry cigar burns off too fast and the resulting smoke is acrid and hot making the cigar aggressive. A cigar that picks up moisture and becomes damp does not burn easily and is difficult to draw. The resulting smoke is heavy while the aroma is tart and pungent. Ideally a cigar should have about 13-14% of its weight as moisture and this corresponds to a relative humidity of 70%. A cigar stored under proper humidity conditions gives a light and bluish smoke and draws easily. The biggest advantage of these humidifiers is that after adding distilled water these are ready to function. Water just needs to be applied into the slots so as to soak the oasis foam.
