My humidor is running at 82% is that too moist?

I use this humidor:



I have checked the stock analog gauges against a digital and they're virtually identical readings. I use a humectant in the foam sparingly and distilled water.

Take your humidification device out of the humidor for a while. Keep an eye on the hygrometer readings and replace the humidification device once the humidor drops to the low to mid 60's. Do not over satuarate your foam --- you can always add more if necessary.

If you plan on being in this hobby for the long term, invest in some 65% beads! Money well spent!

I have had customers in the past with too high rh problems and some have experienced splitting of the entire cigar when the cigar reached the 80%+ level. You need to get the rh down or you will do damage.

I'd recommend following Hugh Jordan's advice.....

P.S. Great taste in Humidors, I have an identical one!

That is a nice looking humidor. Where did you get it? I am looking for another and that looks like it would fit my needs.
