    Salt test your hygrometer (search for salt test) it may be a bit off.

    And for the most part, 62% isn't a bad number. I like my ISOM's around there and for the short term I don't think it's going to damage your cigars keeping them at that level.

    I use beads, but my humidor got to 62% within a few hours but then took about a week or two to finally stabilize at 65%.

    60-65% when I plan to smoke 'em. 70% when I store 'em.

    Yep, good point GG. I should have been more clear in my response.

    Also... The fuller you keep the humidor - the easier it is to maintain your rh. Keep that baby full of cigars!
