Moving In
As you can see I've moved some cigars into the humidor this weekend, but still have much to do. I still have some boxes to put in but need to save room for some small wooden antiques that will appreciate the 65% RH too. I'm filling the humidifier pan manually for now. It's the only way to tell how much water it's using. So far, about a gallon/day. The RH went from 45% on start up to 65% in about 4 hours, so I know there is plenty capacity. Still, it's cycling quite often and I suspect that the wood will be sucking up a lot of moisture for a few days. Once it levels out I'll connect the water supply and let her go. The humidistat has about a 5% differential (not adjustable) so I'm setting it to 68% to cycle off which then causes it to drop to 63% before it cycles back on (for an average of 65%). Since I will keep the boxes closed this RH "swing" should have little or no affect on the sticks.
Whatcha think? I love it and have convinced myself that it was worth the efforts. It's so nice to browse and choose. Hell I found some cigars down in one of my coolers that I had forgotton about. Padillas wouldn't you know. Now they can't hide from me.
