Get yourself a reliable hygrometer, that is the only way you can know what is going on in your humidor. There are plenty of sources for good units at fair prices, calibrate it and put it to work.
If you are interested here are the units I sell. http://heartfeltindustries.com/store/index.php?cPath=35
Even if you don't get it from me do your self a favor and get one.

not only will i endorse Heartfelt Beads, i would also highly suggest his hygrometers. Adjustable and works like a charm. Good price too.
I also bought a 50 pound bag of 65% beads and spread them out in my apartment and made myself an apartmidor. It's hot as balls in here, but man it smells good.

It took me forever to buy into the beads....They are the ONLY way to go!
Yeah
The beads from Heartfelt Indy are the best. It was one for the first things I learned here, that and get a coolidor, and the thing about Macadoodles, and the search function. But get beads, and get a hygrometer. Radio shack, Heartfelt, Walmart, your local B&M, CBid, etc. But get beads.

...and in case it hasn't been mentioned yet; get the beads.
Seriously, when you get your order, test the humidity with the hydrometer. If it's very high, put the beads in dry and wait for the humidity to level out to 65% before you charge the beads per the enclosed instructions. It might take a few days to equalize, but be patient. You don't want to dry the cigars out too quickly. And if you are having problems with high humidity you will probably be using the beads to pull moisture out of the air, so be sure not to overcharge them.
And gat the beads!

I'm still not sure about one thing though. Should I get the beads?

Take a word of advice from someone who is totally impartial...get the beads.I'm still not sure about one thing though. Should I get the beads?
OK...so I'm not totally impartial. LOL
Trying to come back...
LMFAO
An Investigator that can't find work, is probably not the one you want!

Well, I took your advice before you gave it. Last night I ordered the heartfelt hygro/thermo, a half ounce of 65% beads, and a blue rhino lighter/punch.

Im not trying to disagree with anyone, but i find that hygrometers dont always work. So what i tend to do is to feel the cigar. Squeeze it gently. It its not to mushy, but does not crack when you squeeze it, you are good to go!!!
