Cigar Humidor Has High Humidity?
Hey,
I recently bought a Cigar and am having trouble getting the humidity right. I seasoned the humidor and use a calibration bag for my digital hygrometer. I also have a medium case of 70% humidity beads. What can I do to get the humidity right? It has been hanging around 77 and 78%.
You said you used a calibration bag for your digital hygro – is it reading spot on?
If your humi is reading high, than you are in the minority as they usually read low when you first season them (and they are empty). If the humi is full of cigars, that is the reason it is reading high. Not sure what you mean by medium case of beads, but if it is too big for the humi or if you put too much distilled water in it, that could also cause the high reading.
