    Give it a week. The cigars/humidor combined will need time to stabilize. Besides, if your rh stays at 66% you're golden. I keep my stuff right around there and, to me, they smoke better than at the 70% range.
    On another note, I could give a shit less if you post an intro, but if you do want to hang around and post, clean up your spelling/grammar/punctuation, etc.

    I wouldn't worry about it too much. Your sticks were probably a little dry. It should balance out.

    When it starts to get hot out and my average indoor temp goes from 60-65 to 70-75, my humi climbs past 75% and eventually goes back down around 70%. The point is, the humidity will fluctuate whenever something changes. Open the lid, add a bundle of new cigars, take a few out for you and your friends, temperature, etc.

    As was stated the humidor will jump around occasionally. The 65% that you have it at currently isn’t a bad thing either; I keep my smoking humidor around 67%.

    Before too many people start this, I would suggest getting an introduction posted. While Hefty doesn't mind, I promise you that in the next day or two there will be the "great, who the fuck are you?" posts coming up.

    On a side note, I have an iphone also and I've learned not to use it to post up on this forum. The people here are a great resource for information but have no tolerance for punctuation, grammar or spelling issues. Welcome to the boards, if you keep using your iphone, enjoy your stay.

    I used to get all worked up over my hygrometer reading. Now I don't even look at it. I just shake my Heartfelt bead tube, if it goes gingle gangle gingle. I add more water. I have a new huge humidor it was a promo by Cusano - a Cuvee. Massive 20x17X14 holds around 250-300 sticks my
    hygromter reads a steady 64. I figure it needs more cigars to even it out. I have about 30 in it now. I keep two x-large tubes and a small shot of water to to help out untill I get it filled. I can't be bother with worring about that shit anymore.

    I just can't get used to the new kinder and gentle Ashauler.
    I remember the way back when, you would just tear'em a new asshole and be done with it.
    I kind of miss that. It's very sad.

    I guess that I may be failing in my training, that was too nice of a response! I guess that I should be learning from some other people, Ashauler seems to be too nice to properly train me these days! Is Cigarsarge available to assist?

    Are you saying I'm not a FOG or I'm not an asshole? And all this time I've been striving to be both.

    You have a long way to go in one department there. Others have reversely eclipsed you.

    I said "or maybe not". Perhaps, that's not the only thing you missed in my post.

    I'm trying to push my humidor to 11%... Because 11% is one more than 10%!
