My humidor’s humidifier thingy got fuzzy, what should I do?

So I checked my humidor a couple weeks ago, and the humidifier inside was fuzzy- it had some mold or something growing on it that was white and fuzzy! This of course was quite concerning, since I didn’t want the cigars, of which I had quite a few nice ones in there, to get messed up.

So being the frugal person I am, I figured I would try to clean up the humidifier and see if I could re-use it. So I took it apart, cleaned the plastic case with bleach, and tried scraping off the fuzzy stuff as best I could from the green block inside. Needless to say, this didn’t actually work. I went out of town a couple weeks, and when I got back, the humidifier was fuzzy again, maybe even worse than the first time. So I pulled the humidifier out of the humidor.

First step- check my local shop for a new humidifier. Even at a store with great prices like Top Hat Tobacco, a replacement was around $30. Ouch. So I think “Why not replace the green stuff inside the humidifier with some new green stuff? It looks just like the stuff you get from a craft store for sticking flowers into.”

So here I am at work, cutting out a new block of green humidor foam. I will let you know how it worked in a week or two. If any of you out there need some, I have plenty to spare- just stop by the shop and cut a piece off for yourself.
