i'm using th madelaine executive 100 humidifier filled with madelaine's solution. i fill the thing once a week as it seems to need it.

i have the humidor in my den where it's usually 70-74 degrees. not near any heat or air.

i open it once a day for about 2 seconds just to check humidity. and even then i only open the lis about a third of the way.

when i got the cigars, they seemed fine. they came in pretty cold weather at the time nut they got here in like 3 days. as soon as i got them, i let the box acclimate to room temp, opened the sealed box, removed the cigars from the cellophabe wrappers and right into my humidor.

yesterday i added a shot glass filled about halfway with distilled water as well as an old small credo humidifier. humidity this morning is at 75%.

i'll check the cigars for softness in a few days again.
