I give up with this crazy salt test!!!!!

I would never subject my high $ Hygro to a salty enviroment. Properly humidified cigars will still be crunchy when torqued on. My stuff is under 65%. You might wanna lick the cap before cutting them.

I use no beads or gel ect ect as I dont buy into the hype. If you do thats cool by me . I use a cut piece of o-cello sponge in an old typehumidifier holder . O cello has an antifungal agent in it,I cant smell it.

When I was new to cigars and humidors I fretted over humidity and over humidified some cigars and wa-la I got hatched beetles. Do not get all spastic about humidity or it will rule you and take all of the fun out of an enjoyable hobby

from what i understand, beetles are more of a high temp problem than a humidity one. i'd rather NOT worry about humidity, but neither do i want dried out cigars. i wouldn't say they're exactly dry now, but they are certainly more brittle than cigars i kept when i had my old humidor about 15 years ago.

plus, it seems i have to refill my humidifier abot 1-2 weeks even though the humidity level stays at 73-75%.
