Problem!

[maphic]

I'm in VA. I keep the house hot. Should the ice be made from distilled water?

first point...the problem really exists after 85 degrees.....and,there's no way your house is 77 degrees......this boy ain't buyin' it.....


you can use any water that you may want to drink.......

Thank you, I was getting a little worried there for a few. I have never paid attention to the temperature until I read the article. I will go put a cup of ice in the humidor right away.

I love heat.

Interesting.......................

That is a great idea with the ice. Would it not also be a good idea to seal the shot glasses in a bag, to keep the humidity from getting too high? I know if I put a shot glass full of water in my humi, it raises it about 5-8%.

I keep my house at 55.

The solution to your problem is to turn your thermostat down to a reasonable temperature.

Do you not have a cooler area in your home? Maybe a closet with an exterior wall or a spot near an air vent? Do you have a basement?
The only long term solution is to place the humidor in an area with lower ambient temperature. Failing that I agree with CC, to be honest I think that it would probably be healthier.

I have a closet that stays cool. I'll place it in there. I keep my thermostat at 70-75.

Man, that's pretty warm. At most, I would leave mine around 70 degrees. If it still reads pretty warm in your closet, you have no other choice but to turn the temperature down in your house.

Sid,

I've tried the ice thing..... I think you're nuts.... what you smoking lately

This belongs in the Ask BPP thread

Actually, you should freeze a rock and put that in the humi, as the ice melts you could dramatically increase the RH.
