Question
Morning James,where Can I purchase this foam for my himi-care 1000. I would also like to purchase a few fans for my humidor.Cigar international is not much help with this problem. Is there someplace I can order direct? Thanks for any help you can offer

Answer
Hi Michael,

Cigarsdirect.com sells fan kits for your humidifier.  Aquafoam usually isn't sold separately in cigar stores.  It's commonly used in floral arranging so you can buy a large aquafoam brick and cut it to the size that you want.  Aquafoam is available at most arts and crafts stores and is very inexpensive.  When using brand new aquafoam for the first time, be sure to thoroughly rinse the foam with distilled water to wash away the dust and foam powdered sediment.

I hope this helps.  If you have any more questions, please feel free to just ask and I will be happy to help.

Regards,
James

Expertise

My main area of expertise is Cuban cigars but I can also assist you with cigar etiquette, humidor maintenance and troubleshooting. Unsure of a certain cigar brand? Wondering what a certain cigar tastes like? Have any questions about Cuban cigars? Just let me know! I have smoked every brand of Cuban cigars and most reputable non-Cuban cigar brands on a regular basis so I know a fair bit about taste profiles, cigar etiquette and other fine nuances to cigar smoking. (NOTE: My main focus is on premium, hand-rolled cigars and not cheap, machine made, convenience store cigars.) IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT PROVIDE CIGAR OR CIGAR-RELATED APPRAISALS. If you have a vintage cigar item and you want to know if it's worth something, please contact an antique dealer that specializes in "TOBACCIANA".

Experience

I currently have 19 dedicated years of cigar smoking and counting. I have smoked every brand of Cuban cigars and most reputable non-Cuban cigar brands on a regular basis so I know a fair bit about taste profiles, cigar etiquette and other fine nuances to cigar smoking. For 5 years, I studied with Cuban torcedores (rollers), catadores (taste testers) and revisadores (inspectors) on every aspect involving the production of the Cuban cigar and I am currently writing a book that will help beginners understand everything they need to know about cigars and cigar smoking.
