Re: DRI-DAMP Cigar Tester!
I got my first Dri-Damp about a month ago when it was offered at a "discount." Like other users, every cigar tested "dry", although those that registered towards the 'green' zone were probably actually close to the 70% storage environment's humidity. After reading the discussion thread and re-reading the instructions, I calibrated and came up with 'green' zone readings for the cigars that I deemed most ready to enjoy. I ordered two more on ebay the next day to give as gifts.
The technology behind this is simple, cheap, and not new -- a similar product has been marketed through gardening outlets for years, a soil moisture tester with a long probe and 3-zone scale with wobbling needle.
By the way, today, there are online sellers listing this at a big discount for over $20. My original - through Cigar Auctions - and the two that I just bought on ebay were around $7-8 delivered. Considering what's inside the plastic housing, there's no reason for these to cost any more than that. And, at that price, it's not a big gamble to see if it works for you.
