New guy from Ohio

Started a few months back with my first hand rolled (at $3 lol)
but hooked none the less. Since then I got a humidor (which im still having problems with) and moved on to some better cigars.

It's running high
I can't get the humidity to drop to 70%. It stays around 78% with the humidifer in it and 74-75% with it out.

Re: New guy from Ohio

Is your hygrometer calibrated (analog or digital)?

Welcome aboard!

Analog or digital hygrometer? If it's analog, toss it and go digital.

Did you calibrate the hygrometer? Even a digital needs to be calibrated when new.

How did you "season" your humidor?

Re: New guy from Ohio

thanks fro the welcome

Its an analog and I did salt test it. I have a sponge humidier (I think its sponge) and I seasoned it but letting a small dish of distilledwater sit in it for 48 hrs cuz I know water will cause the wood to swell.
Im going to get a digital hydrometer today or tomorrow

Re: New guy from Ohio

The humidity should settle a bit after a couple days. The cedar will absorb and release the humidity as needed to buffer the level. I'd wait a couple more days to be sure then check again.

Also, once you get the desired level, when you fill it with cigars, it will aid in keeping it at a level humidity, but still get the digital.
