I know there's quite a few guys here that smoke cigars as well as pipes. I didn't want to have to join another forum just to ask a couple cigar questions so I thought I'd try here first. Here's my situation:
I have a BAD sensitivity to PG (Propylene Glycol), so bad in fact I had small blisters (or burns as the doc said) form on my tongue and cheeks after smoking particular blends of baccy in my pipe. I try to avoid PG all together or smoke blends with very little in them.
I recently obtained a decent sized humidor (50-75 ct) and I've been having issues with my RH and using the green foam that came with it. I've done some extensive research into the little jars with those jelly crystals of PG that use a 50/50 solution of PG and distilled water or straight up distilled water. It's been a week and I still cant find what I'm looking for. What I'm trying to fin out is if the PG in those jars and crystals/solution evaporates into the cigars (like some forums and sites say it does into the wood inside the humidor). I'm asking because I've just spent close to $500 on cigars and do not want them to be unsmokeable for me.
So any cigar smokers out there that could help direct me to some answers or have answers themselves would be great.
I'm not new to smoking or selecting cigars, just new to storing them At home for myself. I didn't want to have to run to the store(s) every week or two just for a half dozen cigars, and besides, it's cheaper to buy them by the box rather than in singles.
Hope someone has some info for me. Cheers!
