Does perdomo sell the humidor seen in the video? It’s beautiful and it looks like it has the perdomo symbol on the lid

[@SoonerHistory]

Cigars Daily is in Arizona, the shop has better quality cigars at 68% humidity. 70 to 72% made the cigar lose pleasant notes/taste. What's your reccomendation for weather in the North Texas area? I'm thinking 68% or 69%. What about temperature? I do think darkness and 70°F is probably right. So a 68/70 rule in the humidor.

[@imagesbylawmediasolutions2077]

I love these videos. Every single one of them has adjusted my understanding of cigars if even just a little bit.

[@PerdomoCigars]

We're glad you enjoy them. We always strive to bring solid knowledge to the community.

[@MJFacas]

This video will become the gold standard for people asking about proper humidity levels. Great job Nick and team.

[@PerdomoCigars]

Thanks Matt, we're just happy to help.

[@alancats]

For my tupperdors, because no humidity is lost, due to the airtight seal, I find that 65% humidity level Boveda packs work best. Anything higher than this level helps create occasional mold blooms. A wooden humidor can tolerate higher humidity levels, because of the lack of an airtight seal.

[@Kahuna_550]

Air tight 65, wooden 70 or 75 👌

[@tituslawoffice4778]

This channel shows why technology is great: it shows how one knowledgeable man sitting in a chair can beat an entire editorial board and writing staff of a cigar magazine.

[@106timo]

I am a beginner, so thank you for the basic lessons.

[@PerdomoCigars]

That is what we're here for Timo. Happy to help and thank you for watching.

[@derekpumphrey7396]

Keep making these videos! Love your cigars and your knowledge is so valuable for those of us just starting to enjoy the art of cigars! I’ll definitely be adding more Perdomo’s to my evening enjoyment!!

[@LawReam]

I followed the 70/70 rule like a religion. This really opened up my eyes. Thanks again for the great info Nick.

[@PerdomoCigars]

I heard a lot of people do that, hence why we thought this video might be helpful.

[@GhostCob]

Nick , I really enjoy seeing you. We all appreciate what you and your family has done for the cigar industry and Hobby. We hope that you and your family are safe and happy. Blessings from Gettysburg- keep em’burning.

[@PerdomoCigars]

Hey man, I really appreciate that, you thinking about my family like that. I hope the same for you and yours.

[@HughesEnterprises]

In wet western WA state I use 69% boveda packs in wood humidors and it ends up around 65-67% depending on how often I open them up. Seems to work well.

[@FIGNAS83]

This is the best Cigar channel on KZbin. Wealth of knowledge from a legend.

[@PerdomoCigars]

Hey man, glad you like it and thanks for watching. We'll keep trying our best to bring you great content.

[@davidmcright232]

Perdomo has certainly become my favorite. I do try other brands, but my humidor is usually about 85% Perdomo. Thank you for making such a fine cigar.

[@pawelolejek7592]

That humidor must be the king of all Humidors. Thank you for the great info like always.

[@PerdomoCigars]

Hey Pawel! These humidors the best out there. They're made by a master craftsman.

[@sealisland1]

I find that 65 is just right. I'm in IL and my cigars burn nearly perfectly. Boveda packs are a must for me. Thanks for the well produced videos!

[@laurencefrimpter2629]

Man o Man, been smoking cigars for years and years, learned a little here and there, but REALLY learned about enjoying a cigar from Nick's videos. Priceless !!!

[@jesus9038]

Answered my question in the first 3 seconds. Ty

[@GregBell01]

Thank you so much. I learned much a lot about humidity levels for my cigars.

[@tigerstyle4505]

Yes! There is no single answer to RH. When I was back home in NYC I kept sticks around 70, se when I was in Memphis. But down in Florida I found it to be too high and caused constant burn issues (I mostly smoke Nicaraguans), so I dropped it to between 62-65 and it's been perfect. I use New Air units and Boveda packs and I've had the same packs in for about a year or more and they're still like new and sits steady at 65 👍

[@PerdomoCigars]

Great info Tiger! Appreciate you sharing your experience.

[@gerridhodges4084]

What temp do you keep your New Air?... I have 2 units I have mine at 63/63I notice when people talk about humidity you really need to now at what temp because it changes the humidity aswell.

[@Hammer-rc8ek]

Love the videos Sir.....Please don't stop releasing them.

[@MrLostson]

Thank you sir

[@PerdomoCigars]

Thank you for your support Mr Lostson.

[@andrebeauchamp5242]

Thanks 👍👌🔥

[@PerdomoCigars]

Thanks Andre!

[@colinil]

I am new / beginner to a Cigar Smoking and i really enjoy your videos & I learn a lot of the fundamentals of Cigar smoking skills & basics thump up

[@jc6565]

I;m from the Southern centeral of NY. I keep mine around 65-70% year round. That % works ok for my humidor

[@PerdomoCigars]

That sounds about right man. As long as people experiment and find out whats best for them, that's all I really care about is the best result. Our intention here was to debunk the 70/70 rule that most people say is the way to go.

[@marze72]

Thx Nick, luv your presentations so much so I made my first purchase for 20th Anniversary Sungrown sticks from my Cigar Merchant all the way Down Under. God Bless you and Family.

[@Todjcam]

Another great video. Nice humidor! Thanks Nick 👍🏻

[@PerdomoCigars]

Thanks man! Stay safe out there on your patrol.

[@PEMphotography]

This was very helpful....I have my humidor set to 72% since San Diego is relatively dry.

[@mikebell675]

Thanks Nick

[@eddoherty1377]

Enjoy your videos Nick. You take such a common sense view and simplify your answers for all to understand. Thank you

[@PerdomoCigars]

Thanks man! That's the goal and I appreciate your support.

[@markblood3052]

At last! A real-world explanation of humidity and how it applies to >>different

[@lazer1027861]

Great video definitely switching to 65% instead of 70% like I’ve always been told.

[@itsallgonemad]

Absolutely love Nick’s videos, the lighting, scene, presentation & cinematography is just superb not to mention the great advice from an obvious aficionado. It’s really difficult to get Perdomo Cigars here in the UK especially single sticks to try, if anyone knows a stockist please let me know! By the way Nick, if you ever need any vital organs, I’ll swap for that gorgeous Humidor!!! 😂

[@PerdomoCigars]

Ha ha, I'll keep that in mind man. These things retail for about the same. Thank you so much for the kind words.

[@tinyman520]

Good advice on not over filling your humidor. I have two humidors, one is reserved for those times when I go crazy and buy too many cigars. If you fill your daily smoke humidor with too many fresh sticks it takes longer for them to acclimate and nothing will smoke quite right for a month or so, even the cigars you have had for sometime. After a month I transfer some to my daily smoke humidor. It’s all trial and error and finding what works best for you!

[@smokingjc5327]

I am learning so much and now really enjoying my cigars. Please keep up with the great information.

[@jmac777able]

Nick, I am blown away by how much I learn with each of your videos. I never gave the type of tobacco and its thickness a 2nd thought in relation to humidification levels, THANK YOU! I can't help looking at that gorgeous humidor every video. May you and your family always be healthy and prosperous. #PerdomoArmy

[@thomaspaine8547]

Great video! Agree completely on lower humidity for Nicaraguan cigars

[@ahmadsadikaljanabi]

I wish i had these informative and educational videos when i started smoking cigars, it sure is very helpful. Here in michigan i noticed anything beyond 70%rh will make my cigars susceptible to mold i rather keep them at 65% and my humidors are going good so far. Thank you for sharing your time and experience it sure is greatly appreciated. Kindest regards Al janabi

[@PerdomoCigars]

Hey Al, thanks for the kind words and sharing your experience with us man. One of our main goals with this channel is to grow our community and to help those newer smokers avoid what you had to go through. I am sure that was a frustrating experience.

[@argmooner6524]

Always a pleasure Nick ! Excellent info!

[@christopherprince3250]

Great job Nick, thanks.

[@reginaldrogers1806]

I like your videos, they are very informative.

[@marksmith2863]

I’m a newbie APPRECIATE this video. I was getting frustrated for a few days because the levels weren’t where. Wanted them. Thank you greatly video

[@michaelmartino5100]

Very informative! I have close friends who live in Florida who have met Nick. Classy guy who loves what he does!👍

[@PerdomoCigars]

Hey Michael, you should stop by the lounge next time you visit your friends. And absolutely I love what I do. Thank you for the kind words man.

[@michaelmartino5100]

I will! It would be great to meet you. The story of you leaving what you did to start your business is very inspirational!👊 Continued to success to you!

[@jackimyers9364]

I'm in Arizona and 70% is perfect for my mixed cigar humidor.

[@gotsparks09]

Pretty sure Nick Perdomo could sell me a Prius when I walked in wanting a 4 Runner.

[@bradharrison5293]

You rock Nick. Appreciate your videos.

[@PerdomoCigars]

Thank you, Brad.

[@larryakers9306]

Love your smokes. Hope to visit your factory one day soon.

[@williamlumpkin8137]

Great advice Nick. Thank you!

[@AllAccessConstruction]

Excellent points.. Mines about 69 rh average over the last year

[@robertjay1179]

Another great video! Thanks Nick.

[@PerdomoCigars]

Thank you for watching!

[@LawrenceReamPhotography]

FINALLY!!!! THE MERCH!!!!!

[@PerdomoCigars]

yes yes, we finally got to it! Ha ha!

[@alexsmuckler2165]

Mr. Perdomo, thank you for all your excellent tips regarding cigars. They really help people like myself who have only been smoking cigars for a few years.

[@drillsgtlangdon]

Most of us dont store our cigars outside, we typically store them in our homes/ a controlled environment. I live in Ga, and keep my cigars in a humidor with an RH of 69%. Using this method, I've yet to have a problem. The only acception to this is when it comes to Cubans. In which case, I keep them in a seperate humidor with an RH at or below 62% . Thanks for the vid sir.

[@philipmalaby8172]

Most people smoke outside though and that’s what I think he’s talking about

[@user-rn3kn3lv8f]

62-65 for me. 62 for ct broadleaf and 65 for shade. perfect flavor and burn for each.

[@natlhospitality]

Thank you Nick, great information.

[@clarklindquist8137]

I just found your channel. I'm a big CO fan. I actually found you via a suggested video after watching one of his videos.

[@scottwagner8232]
