humidor humidity wont go above 58%

[primus67]

Got my first humidor. It is a small desktop humidor (could hold maybe 40-50 cigars).

i'm hardly an expert, but from what i understand, your humidor should be about 75% full to help hold the humidity as the cigars retain humidity better than just empty air. how many cigars do you actually have in there?

if i'm wrong, someone please correct me.

Keeping your humidor full of cigars is the best way to improve stability.

Beads definitely work but take it from someone who has used/sold/seen it all beads are not the easiest and best way to humidify a desktop Now if you are talking a cabinet then they are a must. For a desktop you need a crystal gel humidifier.
