Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Barez and Big Barez?
The Barez (158 × 17 × 18 mm) is designed for travel cases and small humidors up to 40 cigars. The Big Barez (166 × 64 × 18 mm) is much wider — for standard 100-cigar humidors. The main difference is the width (17 vs 64 mm).
Which solution should I use with the Big Barez?
The Big Barez works with distilled water or a 50/50 propylene glycol solution and distilled water. The propylene glycol solution is often preferred for desktop humidors: it helps to naturally stabilize humidity around 70% and limits the risk of over-humidification. Distilled water is also suitable, provided you monitor your hygrometer a bit more closely. However, never use tap water: its limescale gradually clogs the sponge and reduces its effectiveness, while the chlorine can alter the aromas of your cigars. Regardless of the solution chosen, keep the same one from one refill to the next.
How do I activate the Big Barez before its first use?
Moisten the high-capacity sponge with distilled water or a propylene glycol solution, pouring gradually until it is well impregnated, without excess. Let it rest for a few minutes, then carefully wipe off the surplus: no drops should bead, as liquid in direct contact with cigars can stain the wrappers or encourage mold. Then install the humidifier in your humidor and let the whole thing stabilize for a day before storing your cigars, while checking the hygrometer. If your cedar humidor is new, take the opportunity to perform its 24 to 48-hour seasoning before placing any cigars inside.
How often should I refill the Big Barez?
The frequency depends on the volume of your humidor, the number of cigars, the frequency of opening, and the ambient humidity. Thanks to its large sponge surface, the Big Barez offers good autonomy in a humidor of about 100 cigars, but a refill every two to four weeks remains a common practice, more frequent in winter when heating dries out the air. The best indicator is your hygrometer: as soon as the humidity drops below 65%, re-humidify the sponge. Aim for a range of 65 to 72% relative humidity and never overload the sponge as a precaution: excess humidity is just as harmful as a lack thereof.
Where should I place the Big Barez in my humidor?
The Big Barez is placed directly in the humidor, without complex fixing. Ideally, place it high up, for example against the lid or on top of a wall: the humid air then diffuses downwards and envelops the entire collection. With its 18 mm thickness, it fits easily under a lid while leaving room for cigars. Simply check that your humidor offers a space of at least 166 × 64 mm. Ensure that the sponge is not in direct contact with the wrappers, and leave a slight space around the humidifier to promote air circulation.
What is the difference between the Gold, Black, and Silver colors?
The difference is solely aesthetic. The three colors, Gold, Black, and Silver, are based on the same high-capacity sponge, the same 166 × 64 × 18 mm dimensions, and the same capacity of approximately 100 cigars. The choice depends on the harmony sought with your humidor: Gold matches gold hardware and warm woods, Black blends discreetly into a dark interior or a carbon fiber humidor, while Silver adds a contemporary touch to metallic finishes and glass humidors. Regardless of the color, the effectiveness of the humidification remains strictly identical.
How do I maintain the Big Barez and when should I replace it?
Good maintenance ensures healthy humidification over time. Use exclusively distilled water or a propylene glycol solution: limescale from tap water gradually clogs the sponge. Inspect the humidifier at each refill. If the sponge hardens, discolors, gives off an unusual odor, or shows the slightest trace of mold, it is time to replace it rather than trying to clean it. Never wash it with detergent, which would leave residues and odors absorbed by your cigars. If you empty your humidor for a long period, let the sponge dry completely before storing it.
