DryMistat Tube- Humidifying the Future

Proper humidity is a key component to preserving cigars. Many humidifiers are sponge like in construction, and can be charged simply using distilled water. But technology improves our lives, and it has not stopped at the humidor. Enter the DryMistat Tube.

Made by DryMistat, Inc, the DryMistat Tube is a patent pending technology that keeps your humidity level at a stable 70%. The system is made up first of crystal that have the capability of soaking up to 100 times there own weight in liquid. According to DryMistat, the charge lasts 4 to 12 weeks. During that time the crystals release moisture and shrink as they lose liquid, giving an excellent visual cue as to when they need a recharge. When you do recharge, they can be recharged with tap water.

Using tap water is generally avoided as the substance for recharging a humidifier, as it can contain minerals that can damage a cigar (distilled water is the base liquid of choice). This is the where the second part of the system comes into play. The tube is the delivery system for the water vapor, and is a special grade of space age clear plastic that has microscopic pores in the wall. These pores allow the water vapor through, but they do not allow water to seep out or the minerals in the water, making it safe to store your cigars directly in contact with the DryMistat Tube. Each DryMistat Tube will humidify approximately 30 to 50 cigars, depending on the environmental conditions of your local, the number of times you open and close your humidor in a day, etc.

I live in Massachusetts and have been using one DryMistat Tube in my 5-stick travel case, which I open about every other day. My cigars have been in perfect preservation when I pull them out for a smoke, and the fact that it is a tube helps it fit perfectly along side the cigars. There has been no damage to the cigars from the contact, which is in line with the specification given by DryMistat, Inc. I will be testing the product in my 40 to 50 count humidor next to see if it can handle the stated cigars.

There are many users of humidors out there that are settled on the traditional method of humidification for there cigars. For those that are looking for technology to aid them in the battle, the DryMistat Tube is just the thing. The company guarantees the product for a full year, a testament to the quality of the product.
