RE: Conditioning a solid cedar humidor?
Thanks Lamar...
Any advice is very much appreciated over here. I need all the help I can get.
So the latest is, I got my digital Hygrometer through, and tried out the salt test again on it.
The hygrometer was a steady 72 after 12 hours of being sealed in it's box (I used tuppaware for this so I could actualy watch what it was doing...It didn't seem to budge from 72 after 5 hours or so.
In the humidor, it's reading a steady 62, and has read that now for 2 days (61 after todays regular checks).
It's got a high and low readings memory on the hygrometer that claims the highest it's gone is 62 (more likely 65 if the salt test is anything to go by) so I've got a very steady 65 percent humidity humidor going here, only it's using 70 percent solution.
Amusingly, this means the regular hygrometer I was replacing with the digital that I didn't give much credit to, is likely to be reading on the dot. It's been claiming 65 for some time now.
Is 65 too low? I've got a few sticks in there, but I'm really wary to begin using it full time before I'm certain I won't ruin 100 bux of smokes.
My oshkosh humidifier will arrive some time next week hopefully, so I can at least find out if the humidifying unit is too small for this space etc etc...
Any thoughts?
Rob.
