Product Review


Many places offer customized cigar bands but most places will only use pre-made templates and some will only sell them to you if you buy the cheap cigars they come on. While I was researching personalized cigar bands for our new baby-to-be I ran across www.customlabels4u.com/cigars.shtml and seen that they offered them with no cigars. I was very skeptical of the quality so I emailed them and they assured me that they are nice bands and I would be very happy. They also told me that many people ask that question since they are not seen as BOTLs and figure they are cheap. They offered to send me an order to check out and to give a review to prove that they are very well made. They said that they could use my banner and create them now since we do not know what my wife is going to have yet (couple more months).

 

From site:
The CMYK 4-Color Print Process is used to enhance brilliant color for your bands. We use an advanced digital process to insure the most professional appearance for your private label bands. No offset printing. Our bands fit all cigars from a 42 to a 60 ring gauge!

The bands were delivered as promised in about a week and a half to my door by the famous brown truck. My eyes lit up when I opened the package to find 100 bands that had a shine to them. They are very bendable with a gloss finish. They are much more professional looking then I thought I would get. I see no imperfections and you can tell they are high quality.

There is one thing that you might consider a con. I don’t think it is an issue but some might. The bands are not self adhesive. You can either use a liquid pectin as a glue or a dab from a glue stick.

I highly recommend the custom cigar bands from www.customlabels4u.com/cigars.shtml and would like to thank them for sending them out to me. I will buying more once we know what we are having.

Do you recommend “The Puck” for humidification?

I have been a believer in RH beads since the first time I used them two years ago. The only issue I had was making space for them in my humidors. The Puck takes care of that problem for me. The Puck was made to utilize RH beads and make them easy to place in your humidor without taking up any space. You can get it at Cigarmony as 70% or 65% relative humidity and they come in two different sizes. One that will regulate up to 405 cubic inches and the other will regulate up to 1050 cubic inches.

RH Beads
The Smithsonian and National Archives use RH beads to preserve our nations documents and artifacts. RH beads regulate, this means it not only gives out moisture it also collects it if it goes above the level you choose keeping it a controlled environment. And that means you don’t have to worry about mold. They last for ever so you will never need to replace them as long as you always charge them with distilled water.

The Puck
This was designed to replace the cheap round sponge/foam humidifier that comes with most desk top humidors. I have found that it is a little wide to fit the existing hole on my two 50 count humidors. If you find yourself with this issue just add an extra piece of Velcro and it then should sit flush. The Puck utilizes the RH bead technology.

Does it work?
RH beads work well, they work better if you have tight seal on your humidor. I charge my beads once every couple of months if that (depending how much I get in my humidor) in the summer and maybe every 4-6 weeks or so in the winter. The puck is using the same RH beads I have used the past two years the difference is I now have more room for more cigars.

Over all thoughts
The Puck is awesome! Even though the size is a little larger than the device it is replacing you will never find my desktops (or travel humidor) without it. All I can really say is Get The Puck!
