Premier Humidifier from Climmax
Climmax Humidification has introduced the Premier Humidifier, a new humidification device used to properly humidify and age cigars. Based on a technology used to preserve some of the most valuable artwork in museums worldwide, the Premier Humidifier operates on a hysteresis loop to maintain a humidor's environment at the ideal 70% humidity level. This continuous cycle of releasing and absorbing moisture within a closed environment is the key to successful cigar humidification. Unlike humidifiers that only release moisture, the Premier Humidifier contains a silica-based inert material that actually removes excess moisture from a closed environment. This self-adjusting characteristic ensures that humidity will be kept at an ideal level. Suggested retail price, $39.99. Climmax Humidification, Tigard, Ore., Tel: (888) 254-6629. |
