Using salt to control humidity?

[nhcigarfan]

Salt can fully dissolve in the water, be carried into the air in the humidor and then settle on your cigars and the cedar lining. Beside leaving a salty residue, salt can damages the cell structure of the leaves. (I have no idea what effect the cell damage would have but I know the salt taste may not be what your after).

Uhm, I don't think salt evaporates with water actually.

Here is just the first google link I found pertaining to it http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives...5541.Es.r.html
