Proper maintenance of your humidor is critical for storing your cigars. The smokes that you TC CRYSTAL HUMIDIFIER 50 & SOLUTIONtreasure need to be kept at just the right levels of moisture and temperature. Lower the temperature and they might dry out. Raise the temperature too much and tobacco beetles can hatch and eat their way through your precious collection in a matter of days. The right amount of moisture is especially important because it determines how well your cigars age. Too little humidity and the tobacco leaves can dry out and crack. Too much and you cigars can become sopping wet. Neither extreme is preferred so you have to take steps to keep the moisture in your cigar storage system at around 70%.

Maintaining the correct degree of humidity when storing cigars has come a long way from just putting a small bowl of water in a cedar box and periodically checking the cigars to see if they feel "right". One of the quickest and easiest ways to maintain that magic 70% humidity mark doesn't actually use plain, liquid H2O.
