Humidity Problems

[-nick-]

My humidity has been lingering around 63-60% (mostly 60) for almost 2 months now and I thought I might be able to fix it but nothings working so I finally placed and order for an excess of beads but do you all think they are bad now? I tried smoking a few weeks ago and the cigar was fine it was just too cold for me and haven't tried again since but now I'm paranoid the next time I do try they will be bad. Hopefully my beads will be here this week depending on how long it takes Heartfelt to ship them. I placed the order last Saturday. Thanks for the help guys!

The smokes should be fine, imo, at that rh range, as long as it is stable. 65% beads are what I use.

Not sure about NC, but here my RH always goes down in the winter because the ambient air is much much dryer. Check the seal on your humidor. The beads should at least help with the problem. As ashauler said, your smokes should be just fine.

Yeah it must be winter. These shitty gel humidification devices are worthless during this season so it was time for the upgrade. Thanks for the help guys!

You should try getting a humidor to stay at 65% in Iraq. At this rate I'll have a Masters in Humidorology.

I'll see your Iraq, and raise ya a Chicago winter!

Anything subzero totally cleans out any reminants of moisture in the air. Keeping them at 60 is a challange at times. I've found moving them to the basement helps quite a bit.

...and then in July it will be so humid, I'll have to seal my humidors to prevent them from moving to rh's over 80%!!

Yeah I just don't smoke often so it's more of storing them than smoking. So I figured they'd be better at 70. But I do enjoy the cigar more when it's around 65%.
