Im new to owning a humidor (125 count). I have seasoned it calibrated both the analog and digital hydrometer. My isssue is I cant keep the humidity below 75%. I have no cigars in it yet. Will adding cigars drop it below 70%? If not what can I do. Thanks

I am going to Vegas next week and I want to bring back some Casa Fuentes. All I will have is a carry on. Does anyone know if airport security will give me any trouble for having cigars in a tavel humidor in a carry on. I can't imagine they would but I guess you never know, right?

I just getting started with Cigar smoking, but my father just got me two really nice cigars (at least in my opinion). I saw a nice looking humidor at Sam's club for $60. Is this a good deal? I've been to a couple of local shops but nothing looked as nice and were the same price. Any advice is...

I've been slowly working through the cooler and am going to retire it. I've curtailed the habit down to once or twice a week. Mostly because my boys ( a 9 year old and twin 5 yr olds) have been questioning me about it. That being said I'm not quiting and would like very specific product...

Hey guys I just built a coolidor for my cigars and the humidity seems to be a tad high. I have two humidifiers similar to these not these ones. They are apparently good for 50 cigars each the package said. I filled them with straight distilled water. They are supposed to keep the humidity to...

Any tips and tricks from the experts???

When it comes to table top humidors, what qualities do you find to be most important? I ask because I'm in the process of designing a table top unit and a few questions have arisen. I see that most cigar gurus look for a 3/4" wall thickness to the sides to reduce air flowng through the wood...
