Humidifier mold...

[PartagasIV]

I've always dumped a capful of this in each tank when refilling with distilled:

Bob (I think) recommends replacing the wicks every 3-6 mos or so, no?

Yep. But the mold develops (small spots) after 10 days or so. I dont need to tell anyone here that Bob is a Master Craftsman. My units (3 of them) all hold humidity perfectly, and in style. But I thought a question like this would best be answered on this forum, as the cigar keeper experts reside here.

I would NOT use that product unless it's rated "food safe". Its chemistry will impinge itself into your sticks over time. That's why I use what I did; it outgases relatively fast, and is safe for human consumption. Relatively speaking....
