Xikar humidifiers emit and absorb moisture to maintain 70% relative humidity. Varying humidity levels in a humidor - too much or too little - can destroy cigars quickly, so consistency is most important in preserving and protecting your expensive cigars. 

All Xikar humidifiers employ the use of crystals that can absorb 400x their volume (size) of PG solution. When dry, the crystals look like salt grains. When PG solution is added, the crystals saturate and grow to completely fill the humidifier casing. Thus, you can pack a greater volume of solution in your smaller Xikar humidifier than you can with older, larger foam units (which are also only one-way systems).

Use the extra space in your humidor for more cigars!

The Xikar Crystal humidifiers use high grade Sodium based Polyacrylamine. The gel feels dry to the touch and never ever leaks. It is the perfect medium for humidifiers. A couple of grams of dry gel are enough to fill these crystal humidifiers when fully charged with solution. This creates the only humidifier on the market that is 99.8% void of the available space.

To get the best performance out of these Xikar Crystal Humidifier it is always recommended to use the the Xikar PG Humidification Solution

What an excellent little device this is. Humidor has sat at bang on 70% since setting this up inside of it. Very easy to use to!

Absolutely superb! I got one two months ago and simply popped it in the humidor and that was that. No messing around and perfectly humidified cigars. When I think of all the times over the years I messed up with the old humidifier and how that affected the flavour of my cigars I am converted to this product. A great innovation that works - cigars in perfect condition every time!

Thankfully cigar humidification is at last moving with the times and making use of the best available technology. Basically if you are one of those people who rely on distilled water to humidify your precious cigars then you should stop and think about the science of your chosen humidification method, because it is essentially flawed and you could be ruining your precious Cubans. Why? Well distilled water has no mean (average) rate of evaporation. It simply evaporates and delivers humidity to the atmosphere at an erratic rate. Propylene Glycol (PG) however, maintains a constant relative humidity of 70% - which is about what your cigars should be kept at. And it does this in an easy, convenient and functional manner. In this case, simply unscrew the top and place the jar in your humidor, job done! When the PG evaporates and the crystals (which carry the solution) shrink, just add more PG solution, it's that simple. I have a Xikar 100 count humidor (EXCELLENT item) and so I personally use this in conjunction with the PG based humidifier located in the lid. This ensures I maintain a constant relative humidity throughout the box and not just in the upper draw. An excellent product.
