Hi guys my names Owen and i am indeed new to cigarsmokers.

I have been smoking cigars for a few short years now yet only recently have i purchased my first humidor, its a small desk top one holding around 25-30 sticks with a glass top.

I followed all the processes correctly, from calibrating my hygrometer so it perfectly reads 75RH to then wiping down the humi leaving a sponge in there for a few days to which the RH had risen to around 88RH, i then removed the sponge and added the humidifier and left to sit for around 6 days, after 4 days there wasnt much drop in RH so i left the lid open for 24 hours and its dropped massively, since then i have had the humi close but slowly but surely it has risen from 65RH to now reading 78RH.

Will it ever drop down ? I havent put in any sticks yet because im waiting for them to arrive but surely i dont want to out them in when the RH is reading 78 ?

All advise welcome, im really confused.

Many thanks guys and i look forward to your reply.
