Tobacco for cigars is grown and rolled in places like Cuba and the Dominican Republic, where temperature and humidity are considerably different from places like the UK. A humidor is needed to keep cigars at the optimum humidity level to smoke perfectly. Distilled water is sprayed onto the beads or crystals (the crystals soften and become gels). The beads or crystals are then placed in the humidor, usually in a small plastic container filled with holes. Heartfelt’s Humidity Beads come in 60%, 65%, and 70% humidity selections. They are stored in a flat disc case. DryMistat sells its crystals in a cigar-shaped tube, while Xikar sells its crystals in a small jar (like gel humidifiers).
