Volcom True To This

Take a journey through the unparalleled mental space imagined by some of Volcom’s most creative visionaries. In Chapter 2 of Volcom’s True To This, we explore the magical state of mind that lures us in and keeps us crawling back for more. This video transcendence features an exclusive live performance of Kurt Vile’s “Gold Tone” and takes a deep dive into his higher consciousness. It’s here that we also explore the meditative states of artists Travis Millard and Gemma O’Brien and careen into the minds of Volcom riders Dane Burmen, Bryan Iguchi and Ryan Burch as they explore the perfection of the cushiony dimension. Volcom was founded on the belief that there is a higher level of consciousness to be found within one’s self through the internal and external journeys that board-sports, music, art and film provide. We call these finite moments of enlightenment… ‘Spiritual Intoxication’.

With that, we bring you the second installment of True to This.

What’s the best humidity for cigars? What RH is good?

Cigar shop humidor with lots of brands.

Relative Humidity or RH is how you measure the humidity of a space, or in the context of cigars, the level of humidity inside a humidor. You see, cigars must be stored under ideal conditions. The goal is to keep the right amount of humidity or moisture inside the cigar so the tobacco leaves are preserved correctly. This also helps the cigars retain their natural oils which is a big part of what provides flavor while you're smoking them.

Cigars should be stored inside a humidor, and while they can pretty much last indefinitely while stored properly, some cigars do not age well, meaning you'll want to smoke them sooner rather than later. But as long as you're keeping cigars for an extended period they need to be inside a humidor, or some kind of humidified container -- tupperdors count, too -- with the right humidity. One of the easiest ways to maintain the right humidity inside a container is to use Boveda packs. They come in a variety of RH points from 60% up to 75%.
