My New NC Humi

[bopmachine]

Although I eagerly await my WaxingMoon humi, I had an immediate need to properly house my ever-growing NC collection.

Thanks to some very kind bombs (Aussiewaz & jessejava187) as well as some excellent help from King of the BOTLs G-Man, I have had to get a humi dedicated to only NC cigars. Up to now they have been doing time in the tupperdor with my CC boxes.

I managed to score this little baby on fleabay along with a Cigar Spa humidifier (works great - now in the tupperdor), a V cutter and a leather 3 finger holder:



I made a small crumb catcher/aerator to sit above my bead holder - the bottom of a box of H.Uppman something or others. I simply drilled some holes in it and hot-glued some soda pop caps so it stood a bit above the bead holders.



Here is the bottom layer

Still to come - my trinidad farmhouse humi, my office humi and hopefully in about 2 weeks my CC-Coffin by WaxingMoon.

Wow Jose with a silent H... Great supply of sticks there... Love the humi.. Ive got some beads someone sent me months ago, and i have no idea what to do with them. I see you leave them dry.. so i guess that must be the right thing to do?? yes?

Quite a collection you've got there (Good show!).

I take it you will of course be using the fleabay humi for your NC's, and your beautiful custom-made humidor to house the 'good' Cuban stuff'?

Should be a mixture, some dry, some opaque and some clear.

I actually did this: had one try completely dry, and one hydrated. I let the humi sit with a sponge for 24 hours, then put the beads in as described for about 4 days? until it read a solid 70 RH. They kind of just naturally mixed and matched between the two.. now i'd say they are about 60% hydrated.

Holy mother of God. That's a fair old collection of NWCs you've got there!

Great variety too, I'm very envious.
