Help with testing hydrometer and seasoning humidor

[malibuboats91]

So after letting my humidor sit for a week with 7 cigars in it, my analog hygrometer has been reading a constant 70%. I had called cheap humidors the day I got my humidor because the analog hygrometer was all scratched up and they were sending me a new one. A week passed so I called them and I guess they sent it to the wrong person. I talked them into deducting the cost of the analog from the digital so I got an adjustable digital for $13. Now I just have to do the salt test to it. Thanks for all they help!

My humidor surely enough has been holding a constant 70% humidity. Now my only questions is what temperature should it be in the humidor? I live in wisconsin and our house in the winter typically is anywhere from 60 at the least to 70 degrees at the most. The few times I have checked the thermometer has registered like 64 degrees in there.

60 to 70 sounds fine to me

I purchased the digital hygrometer from cheaphumidors and I allografts it. After a few days on my humidor I noticed it reading a humidity level of 65. I have the 70% humidity gel in it now. My cigars seem very firm. What should I do to get the humidity level up? Do you think it wasn't seasoned enough? Or what's going on?

To be honest I haven't had one out of the humidor yet.

So I added the humidifier that came with the humidor to it along with the gel. I have been getting a reading from 69 to 71 percent this whole week. Today I decided to smoke a Arturo Fuente 858. It was smoking good pretty good but kind of hard to take a draw. I'm not sure what that means but im assuming its something to do with my humidity.
