Question
QUESTION: I can't seem to locate the company that makes these products. Any idea?Still can't find anyone who has the fans for the 1000 unit. Cigar direct is also out them . Thank you.  Michael Farsace

ANSWER: Hi Michael,

You're right, it's hard to track down Humi-care's contact info.  I haven't been able to find any company or manufacturer info on them.  The brand is sold and endorsed through Cigar International so if you contact them, they may be able to provide Humi-Care's contact info or order the fans for you.

You can contact Cigar International at: http://www.cigarsinternational.com/html/contactus.asp

Your local cigar store/tobacconist may have also have supplier info on Humi-Care products.

Regards,
James

QUESTION: That where I bought the humidifier from. They don't have any fans either and for some reasn won't give me any info about the producer of the product. Any idea why?

Answer
Hi Michael,

I'm not sure why they won't help you.  The company is a Humi-care retailer plus they endorse the brand on their website.  (They even made videos on how to use Humi-care humidifiers.)

You may want to check with some local cigar stores... if any of them sells Humi-care products, they will most definitely have product info brochures from the company that has the contact info on it.  If not, they can probably contact the supplier of humi-care products for you.  You can also try asking my fellow allexperts.com cigar experts and they may be able to help you.

Was there any instructions that came with the humidifier?  If yes, check if there's a Humi-care customer service number or email address.  Perhaps there's contact info on the unit itself?  I used to use Humi-care but I sold my humidifier a while ago and can't remember if there was any information on the unit itself.

If I can track down the company info, I will let you know. (I'll edit this post and you'll be re-notified.)

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.
