H2O Please!

As we all know Cigars need humidity, too little and they are dried twigs that taste bitter and much like yard waste, too much and they become a soggy mess you can’t keep lit and they taste like wet yard waste.

 

 How do we achieve the perfect humidity and what do we use to gain this ultimate perfection? H2O . . . you know water!

However not just any water will do, it needs to be Distilled water. Tap water is no good because of the minerals; spring water has additives in most brands these days and as far as purified water goes that is just regular water cleaned by chemicals and minerals. Good old distilled water is nothing but pure water vapor nothing but 1 part Hydrogen and 2 parts oxygen.

Cigar Juice
 

Cigar Juice
 

  The industry has 2 ways to get your cigars moist and both ways are widely disgust and many have differences of opinions on the two ways. On one hand you have the modern thinkers that recommend humidifying through a chemical called “juice” or “cigar juice” and on the other hand you have the cigar purist that insist that distilled water is the only way you should humidify your cigar so as you can see they have very different opinions on this matter.

 Who is right, who really knows, but all I will say is that Distilled water adds NO chemical to your cigars and therefore shouldn’t change the taste of your cigars or cause any adverse effects to you other than what Smoking can do to your body in the first place. For me adding chemicals to your cigars means adding it to your body as well and I for one am doing a bang up job on that without adding yet another one if I don’t have too.



good old H2O
 

 So in closing I say Juice No . . . H2O

Remember folks this is only one persons opinion take a look at things see both sides and choose for yourself. Until next time Brothers of the leaf . . . Happy Smoking.
