The idea of a woman scorned equating to the worst pain one could imagine may hold true. To give a bit of backstory, I recently went through a break-up where my ex thought my four humidors, and the multitude of cigars therein, needed some moisture and proceeded to dump water onto them. In each of the very full humidors was about a gallon of tap (I assume) water. And where she showed proper concern about the humidity levels...screw it, I cannot muster the strength to joke about it any longer...

My question is when regular tap water saturates the wood within the humidor, is it still salvagable, meaning will it still hold the proper humidity or is it tainted? Should I just trash them and start over?

I attempted to dry out the planks and re-season, but I cannot get the humidity to the proper levels.

Thanks.

I would have been fine with a scratched car. The paint can be replaced. A few years of cigar collecting cannot.

that's what I was thinking..... 😟

Yeah, it was one of those moments where anger and sadness fills you and you don't know if you should scream or bawl.

I chose to curse.

Go Yankees!

There are times I wish I were that type of person.:-k

If it wasn't for your handle (NYYankees) I'd say send me your addy and I'll send you something to help get you back on your feet.

But being a Phillies fan, I just can't do that.

JUST KIDDING, brutha.

PM me your addy and I'll get something out to you in the next few days.

jes

That's what I tell myself - it could have been worse.

And yes indeed, Go Yankees.

Phillies are tough, I look forward to the post-season. And I appreciate the gesture.

I know better than to touch Tank's humidors...

I aint that crazy.

That appears to be the soundest advice I have heard.

Go Mets!
