I’ve been in the industry for over 40 years and have rarely seen things that seriously get my attention. I came across this totally unique device months ago and reached out to the company to find out more about it. At the time, two young cousins from Chicago that invented it were just beginning to launch their product that reads a cigar’s humidity.
I’m sure you have more than a few hydrometers keeping you informed of the humidity level if you have a personal humidor. We all know this is key to maintaining the quality of your considerable investment. However, when you think about it, these devices read out the humidity level of the environment, not inside the cigars themselves. The HUMIDIMETER will tell you what’s actually going on INSIDE your cigars.
During my conversation with the owners, it was interesting to learn that most of the people buying this item are cigar smokers. “Consumers that shop at various stores want to know if the cigars they’re buying are being well kept for.” He added, “ We were surprised that there weren’t more retailers that wanted to know just how well their humidors were working.” While the jury may be out when it comes to retailers selling this device in their stores for customers to check out their cigars before purchasing them, I firmly believe that EVERY premium cigar smoker should have one on hand for themselves.
How many times have you wondered what kind of shape that cigar you’re considering buying is? We know that many cigars may feel hard because they’re jam packed with tobacco. Using this device settles the case immediately. More importantly, this device will help you determine if humidity levels are equally dispersed throughout your own humidor.
The two prongs can be placed into the cigars foot even through the cello wrapper without damaging it and will give you a reading in seconds.
Rarely has something become available for so little money that can help virtually all cigar smokers so much. Add one to your order next time you buy some cigars!
