Humidor Humidity

[badwhale]

Im new to owning a humidor (125 count). I have seasoned it calibrated both the analog and digital hydrometer. My isssue is I cant keep the humidity below 75%. I have no cigars in it yet. Will adding cigars drop it below 70%? If not what can I do.
Thanks

If it's truly out of whack, and not your hydrometers, adding heartfelt (or equivalent) beads to your humidor will absorb the extra moisture. Cigars may absorb some, but they will acclimate, and you don't want them that humid.
