New Guy & His Humador

[tonygraz]

The hygrometer could be off- most are adjustable. There is some mixture of salt test to determine that, but I can't remember all of it. Odds are that the hygrometer is off but you could try the flashlight in the humidor test (move into near total darkness to check for leakage indicated by escaping light). 70 should be high enough to keep your cigars- 80 might cause problems.

Use the search function. There is a ton of great information on this forum about setting up and maintaining a humidor. Chuck the sponge and what ever else your usung and buy some Heartfelt beads. Everything else is SHIT.
