Checking the Humidity

[96Brigadier]

When I bought my second humidor a couple of months ago I went for this one, specifically so I could put a hygrometer in it and not have to open to see it I have the Cigar Oasis inside plus Heartfelt Beads on order plus two more hygrometers so I can put them in the lower window on each side. Anal... yes, yes I am

In my other humidor (no glass) I tried the wireless hygrometer with transmitter, turned out to be~10% off so I took it back and just open it from time to time to check it.

Hmmm maybe I need to start designing a glasstop cooler!

Dude -eyesack, that was awesome! HAHAHAHA!

I usually check mine every couple of days. In the last 2 weeks it has sat on 68% / 70 F every time. The cigars and cedar are like sponges and hold the majority of the humidity. Once you get a pretty good set-up going you can usually get away with sillyness like leaving the door open or going over a collection with a friend with little change in humidity.

If you go with a tupperdor, coolidor, or fridgador (like mine), I wouldn't underestimate the amount of cedar to add.

..... going to take a gander at the humidor.

I think I need to do another salt-test with my hygro... Cigars feel good to the touch though, I ain't worried.

Vinotemp and beads. I could open it 100 times a day and the temp and humidity dont move. smoke 1-2 a day

I hate Meters, I got so many that are way off and dont work right they just would make me mad Beads take care of that, I Love I have a meter in my cooler but i dont even look at it most times.

I smoke at least 1 cegar every morning and check whatever box I open at that time. The cooler has always been spot on--the Humi's do take a little babying thou---Beads, Beads, Beads--Can't go wrong with Beads!

Did I Say BEADS!

If I'm busy and really am in the "I DON'T REALLY CARE" mode, maybe 3 times, maybe I lie too...
