Recently I was sent a ThermoPro TP59 Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer to test out. I mostly use Govee brand remote hygrometers, along with some Western Digital Hygrometers in my humidors, so they were used as my baseline for testing out his unit. To be honest, I’m not one of these guys who obsesses about my humidors being spot on humidity wise, as long as the cigars are smoking right, I’m happy, but I do want to know when there are wild fluctuations. There are a few things I like about this unit and and a few things I don’t like.… Continue reading

New Govee Sensors, a Few Cigars and a Contest Winner
I’ve been using the Govee WiFi and Bluetooth humidity and temperature sensors in my humidors for a while now, and recently got some of their new ones to try out. I got three of them (actually four, one comes in a handy two pack). The first one is the WiFi Smart Thermo Hygrometer, Model H5179. The batteries were included in the device, it just had a strip of plastic that needed to be removed for the batteries to make contact. The Bluetooth pairing and WiFi connection were very simple through the app (which I already had from having multiple other devices). There’s no display on this device, so everything is monitored through the app, Temperature, humidity, along with historical data for something like a year. You can also set alerts for highs and lows so if there are spikes in your humidor you can address them before any long term damage is done. This also had a mounting bracket and a lanyard (the later of which serves no purpose in my application). I will probably mount this in my primary cabinet humidor.… Continue reading
I Goofed, I Didn’t Use My CigarMedics HumidiMeter!
Sunday my wife and I went into Philly and saw the Philly Pops presentation of the Beatles Abbey Road with a Beatles tribute group called Classical Mystery Tour. I can do without the Beatles tribute part, it would have been fine with the Pops orchestra and a band a good singers playing the material. It was still an entertaining show, I’ve seen a lot of Beatles tribute bands and always have trouble with ones where the Paul character can’t be bothered to learn to play lefty. Anyway, traffic sucked coming home, as per normal, and I was quite ready for a cigar, and grabbed a recently acquired RoMaCraft Aquataine Knuckle Dragger. Here’s where I made a critical error. One of my pet peeves is when I light up a cigar that ends up being overhumidifed and it doesn’t burn right, it smolders instead of burns and doesn’t give you a great experience. It’s so hard to tell when you light a cigar what it’s going to smoke like. This particular cigar I had hoped would be a sure thing, and it turned out that it just wasn’t ready, it hadn’t been in my humidor long enough, and the shop I bough it from was new to me and their humidor is obviously a little high. Here’s where the Cigarmedics HumidiMeter tool comes in! I’ve been using this for the last month.… Continue reading
News: Screwpop® Tool Introduces Magpulse™Cutter to Market
A year ago I ran almost this same story. July 3rd, to be exact, so it was over a year ago, but just barely. Finally Screwpop is coming to market with this cutter. Screwpop® is one of my favorite under the radar cigar accessory companies. They are really a mainstream gadget company that are cigar lovers and makes cigar tools too, but they have some winners. Their CigarPunch 3.0 is one of the better punches out there, and I’d like to think I had something to do with the re-design of the 2.0! They have a cigar cutter that, while it takes come practice, works pretty well too. I can’t wait to try this cutter out, I’ve been looking forward to it since I read about it a year ago. … Continue reading
Accessory Review: Govee Bluetooth Mini Thermometer & Hygrometer
Last year I reviewed a couple of wireless hygrometers from Govee that I really like, they are still going strong today and are in daily use in my humidors. You can see the posts here for the Bluetooth model and here for the WiFi model. I’ve been so pleased with the Govee products that when I needed a new door bell for my house I bought a Govee wireless doorbell and it’s working quite well. Recently they have come out with a new item which I think address some of the things I thought were overkill with the full size model, a Mini Thermometer and Hygrometer. This version eliminates the LCD screen and is just the sensor in a small case. It seamlessly adds in to the smartphone app and has all of the same features as the larger Bluetooth and WiFi versions, temperature and humidity readings with adjustable high and low alarms, data tracking, everything but the display. … Continue reading
