Matches and pipe lighters can be used. Special pipe matches are produced from sulphur-free, untreated wood. Most pipe lighters produce a flame that comes from the side of the lighter rather than the top, enabling the user to light the tobacco with ease and precision. Naturally, GERMANUS offers a whole series of pipe lighters. Rather than apply the flame to a single point, move it around in a circular motion. Flame contact should be brief, meaning 1-3 seconds.If the wood shows clear signs of charring, the flame contact was obviously too long.When lighting up, draw gently and evenly on the pipe. In most cases, the tobacco on the surface will swell up. This is entirely normal.Most experienced pipe smokers will let their pipe go out after first lighting it, then carefully press down the unravelled tobacco with a pipe tool and light up again. Applying flame is much easier second time around, with the tobacco surface now perfectly even.Tobacco tampers are one tool in the pipe smoker’s arsenal primarily designed for this purpose. Under no circumstances should a tamper be used to tamp the pipe forcefully in the manner of an old-fashioned muzzle-loader.

I'm looking for a humidor with automatic humidification and temperature hold function so I do not have to think about what's going on with my cigars. How can I store my cigars fully automatically?There are not really fully automatic humidors on the market. Even if they are advertised as automatic, they still require a minimum of care. Most cigar smokers are looking for an automatic cigar humidor and are actually looking for an electronic humidifier that automatically regulates moisture content. You can use any (GERMANUS) humidor and add a humidor humidifier. The recommended humidifier depends on the humidor model.Our alternative to electronic Humidor Humidifiers: The GERMANUS Bead System. This is a regulator that is easily added to a humidor. Simply place the regulator in the humidor. The number of necessary regulator units of course depends on the humidor.For all humidors across the market: Moisture must be added. The tank must be refilled. Just as a car needs new gas from time to time, a humidor needs a stop at the "gas station" to top up with water in the humidifier tank.Question: I have seen a cheap climate cabinet. Would you recommend something like that?Answer: The question is very general. Therefore, I would like to give a general guideline. There are wine cabinets from Asia that are equipped with some wood and maybe a humidifier. This is electronics, which was usually never intended to store food in it without wrapping. Wine bottles are sufficiently dense. But some sommelier are worried about negative side effects of such cabinets. The temeprature control if ofter very limited and the noise from those machines is not acceptable to every wine lover. These cabinets are then simply equipped with a simple humidifier to call them a "humidor".The question is what can be expected for the sometimes surprisingly low prices? In the abstract, this is nothing but a fridge designed for wine storage, which was built for 30-60 € and includes some wood and a humidifier. With an automatic cigar storage as the impression is awoken, this has nothing to do.We have already been told by customers and competitors of fumes and extremely inaccurate temperature at high noise levels (buzzing). Cigars need reasonably stable but not cold temperatures. These even have a negative effect on the maturation and aging process. Temperature control is a nice feature, but not necessary or central. This feature is bought with unchecked plastics and completely unclear effects of these exhalations on the stored cigars. The permanent noise volume is not quiet in some reported cases.Important: Automatically working is very little in those fridges. (Those fridges usually miss electronic humidifiers. But if they have, please keep a critical eye on them no matter who is the manufacturer.)I would not recommend that either, but if you buy a low price German fridge and some wood for the interior, you have more storage volume at a better price. Again, this is not recommended. But if you really wanted to put cigars in a fridge, I would choose a tested European product. A lighting is also automatically integrated there. :)Buying a Cigar Humidor is a matter of trust just like any purchase. Those products are simply very basic wine fridges or coolers where cigars and a normal humidifier are placed. The risk here are fumes and in most offers the absence of a European supplier who would be available in the event of a defect or problem. A guarantee is usually missing completely or is rejected in the real case of defect.Each individual case must be considered individually. But these are general considerations based on logic thoughts and feedback of customers and competitors. The quality of these fridges is appropriate for the price. :) Electronics in the humidor is always a risk, as it brings the risk of malfunction in the topic of cigar storage.If I am now asked for my own personal opinion, I personally would not dare the experiment, because the possible success in relation to the possible or expected disadvantages and problems would be much too small.If you buy such a gastro cabinet, then please with guaranteed safety of the components, a reasonable shielding and reasonable humidification. Such cabinets are usually available from at least 1000 €, more from 2000 € available.

Once the humidor has been run in, the humidity can drop again. There are two scenarios here. Empty humidor: Humidification in a humidor is always designed for a certain degree of filling. This is usually around 50%. Cigars act as a buffer and reduce the air volume. If no cigars are stored, the humidity will gradually drop again. Cigars have been stored in the humidor: Many cigars are commercially conditioned at approx. 60-65%. These values are ideal for long-term storage and are unproblematic during transport or in the event of fluctuations that may occur during distribution. Stored in the humidor, where the user usually aims for approx. 70% humidity, the cigars first absorb water. In doing so, they draw moisture from the air in the humidor. This can result in a drop in the relative humidity in the humidor. This is normal. The level can be raised further with an additional source of humidification. This is not necessary or advisable: excessive fluctuations in humidity affecting the cigars can lead to cracked wrapper leaves. The moisture content in the cigar and its surroundings can become too high. The tension may then appear on the wrapper leaf in the form of cracks. Gentle humidification is therefore always beneficial. Our humidors are equipped with humidifiers to ensure gentle and sufficient humidification.

Boveda Humidipaks for Cigar Humidors Boveda is a good regulator, but was not actually designed primarily as a humidifier. Function The Boveda system is a disposable humidifier. It contains a salt mixture. The bags themselves consist of a semi-permeable membrane which, according to the manufacturer, is designed to keep foreign substances out. According to the manufacturer, the sachets should be disposed of after 2-3 months. Boveda Humidifpaks absorb moisture and release it again. In abstract terms, the question is what happens when the moisture contained has been released but no new moisture is added from outside. Application quantity The amount of Boveda required depends on the volume of the humidor to be humidified. However, this quantity is greater than is often assumed. It should be noted that a wooden humidor is physically a box. This means that it cannot simply break. For example, it contains no gearing mechanism that could lose its function. If the humidity is too low, too little humidity is simply provided. The moisture that Boveda can distribute comes from the product itself. If there is no other source of moisture, it is limited accordingly. Our advice: If you want to use Boveda, please leave our humidifiers in the humidor. These provide the humidity, Boveda regulates in this case. In reality, the quantities required are quite high. As an example, a small table humidor measuring 26x22x10.5 cm is shown below. The quantity of 2 Boveda packs shown is obviously too small for this. If you want to humidify a cabinet with Boveda, the quantities used must therefore be high.

Question: As an avid pipe smoker, I also want to have the opportunity to consume my tobacco during my lunch break ... Unfortunately, this is difficult because of the pipes ... Now, the idea has come to enjoy the pipe tobacco as a cigarette. Stopfmaschinge bought, unfortunately went backwards. Now I wanted to ask you, which possibilities there are pipe tobacco in cigarette form (with filter) to bring? Answer: You can absolutely do that. Pipe tobacco stuffed into cigarettes is of course possible and was not uncommon in the past. The cut of the pipe tobacco should be rather fine. Then manual winding by hand or a winder is recommended. The winder are not designed for these tobaccos and the tobaccos are not intended for cigarettes. The tobacco should be quite dry (not too dry) and the cut and the amount of tobacco should not be too big. I personally came away from it. More recommendable is a cheap little whistle, which may only 50% stuffs. A shag whistle is also useful. Any corncob would be an option. Most normal pipes are also suitable. And of course, such a Shag pipe for fine-cut tobacco: This was used decades ago during the lunch break or in the 10-minute break. Ideal are also plugs that you can cut yourself and thus has influence on the width. In a corncob and you can enjoy a wonderful 5-40min smoking pleasure depending on stuffing quantity and pipe.
