Major Humidor Problems

[cls515]

I think we should make a sticky, "If you have humidity problems, before asking a question, buy the beads. This will solve your question."

Generally true, but he said he already has the beads.

Thanks for all the help guys. I have a back-up humidor(this is also not working 100%) so I think I am going to take my sticks out of the Siglo, put them in the back up and re-season the Siglo. Hopefully once it is working right I will re-season the back up and then only put in about 50 of my best sticks or so in the Siglo, leaving the rest in the back-up.

I think you'll see major improvements. Let us know how it works.

It sounds like you are well on your way to having a seasoned humidor. However, if you don't have a digital hygrometer, then you can't trust what it says. Those analog hygrometers are EXTREMELY unpredictable and I wouldn't trust them for a second. In fact, I bought two digital hygrometers just to ensure I had them properly calibrated.

Now, not all digital hygrometers can be tested all that well. Mine work perfectly now, but they didn't show perfectly when I salt-tested them. I used beads to test them and they were both perfect at 65% with 65% beads....well, one was 64%, but close enough for my taste.

Just some things to think about....

Hey Guys;

Thanks for all the help. I followed these directions http://www.cigarsmokers.com/showthre...etting+humidor
to season my humidor. I only put in about 50 cigars in the humidor and I am using the 75% RH Puck. Everything seems to be working. The humidity is about 73%. I am very happy now.
