Humi sheet

[CigarGal]

I just got one sheet 65% and I am assuming that I need to charge it up. I have read that you can toss them into the humidor to charge them, but will that cause the humidity to drop in the box?

I would think that it would absorb the humidity until it could create a buffer. At that point it would keep the humidity constant.

I would suggest adding a little distilled water to it before putting it in. Aside from that i would think that you are good to go.

I bought a 2 0z aluminum bead holder for the humidor and the sheet is for travel bags...I just want to charge it up before I go on trips and such. I would think that it would have a longer life if I keep it charged and not let it dry out.

Threw mine in humidor and seemed to do fine. No big spikes either way w/. Fixing to put it thru the paces here in a couple of days. Loading the new travel humi w/ sheet and +/- 15 cigars for vacation.

I love how thin that thing is. Doesn't occupy much room at all. If you're like me...I think you'll like it !!

That was my plan as well-going camping in a few days and wanted to put them in a zippy with the sheet. Then a trip to Seattle so I only have a day in between trips to charge up the sheet. I can spray it with a little water when I get home from camping. Any idea how long the sheet will last in a ziplock or travel humi before it needs to be charged again? Does it act just like the beadsin a tube?

The info that comes with the sheet is the same info packed with the beads.

The sheets are made from the same material as the beads, so they should pretty much work the same. In a travel humi it probably would need to be recharged less than a ziplock bag since a plastic bag isn't air tight. The plastic still allows air to exit/enter the bag even if it is sealed. If you can get heavy duty freezer bags and just double up using two it does pretty well. I had a few boxes of cigars stored like that for a couple months just using one of those boveda packs.

The sheet will absorb a small amount of moisture from your humidor if you recharge the sheet that way but it is a very small amount. If you have concerns of this absorbtion being more that you want you can lightly spray the sheet with distilled water from a standard spray bottle. Get a new bottle from the store DO NOT reuse an old spray bottle.

The Humidi sheet act and functions exactly the same as the Humi tubes. As Joshua stated the Humidi sheets are made from the same substance as the beads.

I just got 2 of the 3 x 3 sheets to put in my cigar caddy. I just threw them in my humidor and had no fluctuations, but I also keep a shot glass with a small amount of distilled water.

I found if your going away over a night or two you really don't need the sheet if your putting your cigars in a bag. For a few days up to a week, I use the sheet in a travel humidor. Any longer then that I always throw in a 65% Humidpak. That does double duty, If you find cigars while away it will recharge the sheet somewhat and allow you to use a ziplok and humidipak for the extras.
