Tada! Decided that in the quantities i was buying my sticks in i might as well bite the bullet and get one. So here it is...
Unfortunately i did not have enough money to buy a digital hygrometer, so in the mean time i am going to have to go with the analog one. It looks nice though, so i don't mind it to much. Seasoning this thing was a beast. I rubbed it down with distilled water (fresh sponge), then left the sponge in the case for two days (checking it periodically to make sure the sponge was still saturated), and "refilling" it periodically. Ironically i think that it might of absorbed to much water, because even after correcting the analog, it is still reading in the low 80's. So after reading in the archives, i decided that beads were a cheap and lifelong investment. I got the 65% ones from heartfelt, and after reading some of the members post, they said that you can control the humidity with how moist you make the beads. So i thought it was a cheep and perfect investment. They should hopefully arrive on either Monday or Tuesday.
After careful consideration, i decided that i enjoy looking at my cigars, and also enjoy knowing how many i have. So the ideal type of humidor would have to be a glass top.
Its a small little guy, but it does the trick for now. I was talking to some other members who laughed and said that the sickness has only begun, and soon in time i will realize that what i have is simply to small, and will get another one - I am starting to agree with them. And as you can see, i basically have the poor thing bursting with sticks, so prepare yourself in the very near future for another review. Thank you for your time, and i hope you enjoy the pictures.
