To  properly care for  your Costa Rica Cigar Collection,
you will need a quality cigar humidor.  Ideally, the humidor
will be made of Spanish Cedar wood and will close tightly.

Along with your cigar humidor,  you will need to purchase
a hygrometer.   This device measures the humidity level inside
of your cigar humidor.   Finally, you will need a humidifier.

This  is usually a  cylindrical  device, which you fill with water.
As  you would expect, its purpose is  to provide humidity.

The perfect conditions for a Costa Rican Cigar  are 70%
humidity and 70 degrees Fahrenheit.  Temperature and
humidity are critical  to keeping your Costa  Rica Cigars
fresh.

Once you begin to fall below 65% humidity,  you run the
risk of drying out your  "Signature Brand" Costa Rican Cigars
and cigars as precious as these... should be pampered with
loving care.

Once you exceed 70% humidity, you run the risk of
making  your cigars too moist.  This in turn... will cause
mold to grow on  your cigar.  Discard the cigar, if you
spot mold.

Too cold ?  Yes, we have heard, that people suggest,
that  keeping cigars in a refrigerator or freezer,  is the
best place for a cigar.  It  is not !

Cold air will rob your cigars of their precious moisture,
besides, do  you  want  your cigar  to taste like last 
nights dinner ?

White spots on your cigar ?  These are known as "blooms".
They are the result of long term storage.  They are harmless
and can easily be removed.

Cigar dried out ?   You can restore a dried out  cigar, but
it takes time.   If it's an expensive or special  "Costa Rican"
Cigar see your tobacconist.

You can usually restore a cigar, by exposing it to moisture
in a partially opened box.   Every  few days, you should
rotate the cigar, so that all of the wrapper is exposed
to  the humidity.  Repeat  this process for a month.

How to Refill a Lighter:

One of  the most common questions  we receive,  is the
proper technique to refill a lighter.  Did  you know  that  if
done incorrectly, you can cause some serious problems.
Not  quite as  bad as  global  warming,  but bad enough,
to render  your  lighter  useless.

Refueling  your refillable butane cigarette lighter is quite
easy.  Refill cans are available, just about anywhere,
from  your local tobacco shop.  Ronson and Colibri brands
are among the  best and most popular.

Using a cheap brand of  fuel can damage the inlet  valve
and,  more commonly, clog the burner valve.

The most common mistake made, in refilling a butane cigar
lighter, is not keeping the can and the lighter, upside down.

If  you do not refill with the can in the upside down position,
you will just inject air into the lighter and it will not work 
properly,  until  it  is bled and refilled.

To  Refill:

First read the warning labels and instructions... on the can.
Aim away from face and stay away  from any open flame or
ignition  source.  Please use common sense!

Then:
 

Turn  the adjustment screw  to the (-)  position.  On some
lighters, it  is  located in the same hole as the inlet valve,
wrapped around the inlet valve, and requires a small
standard screw driver.

Other  cigar  lighters, have a separate, easier to locate,
adjustment screw, and some have a knob over the
adjustment  screw,  that  can be turned with your  fingers.

Hold  the  lighter and  the refill can, upside down.  There
will  be a  small  hole at  the bottom of  your  lighter, inside
the hole,  you'll  see  the inlet  valve.  Press the  tip  of  the
refill can over  the inlet valve and press down firmly,
for  4 - 5  seconds.  Repeat  once.

Adjust the flame to desired height.   You're done!
