Temperature versus Humidity

[coach33-cr]

Question? I live Atlanta, I keep my humi in my basement and the temperature is rather cool but not quite cold. My humidor gage stays between 65 to 70+. But the last three sticks that I tried to burn didn't smoke nor burned well, the wrapper beginned to crack. This is a major problem.

Is it too cold? or is the humi too dry? or what?

A couple of questions: Do you use a digital hygrometer or the analog (with dial) one that probably came with it? If you use a digital hygrometer, have you calibrated it?

I asked a similar question about two years ago on a different forum and here's the most sensible reply I got:

Humidity test...

Place smokey treat between thumb and 4 fingers.

Apply preasure (Scream "get a job you withless POS")

If they are squishy...to high
If they crackle...to low
In between ..fire it up

I hope this helps, LOL.
