A hydrometer in a humi is absolutely fuking worthless .
A hygrometer though is a usefull tool for indicating the R/H in your humidor. Hope this helps

I have a Diamond Crown because it was on sale years ago. Most sold for humidors are usually calibrated almost perfect. Radio Shack used to have some inexpensive ones. Look on various cigar retail sites such as Famous Cigars. Cigars International and maybe the site owner Hex might have some on his site.

Holt's has an excellent hygrometer about the size of a corona.

Talumn, there's a little tab up toward the top of the very page you're looking at right now that says, "Search". Stop being a pinhead and use it.

um, welcome to the board.

Well if he does a search on "hydrometer" he might not have much luck!

Welcome to the board...


I use a "little havana" cigar size and shape hygrometer. I paid $30 localy at the tobacconist and it works great.

Holt, $9.99 @ Target with temp. sensors for indoor/outdoor.. just coil it up!! 73% on salt test!!

No off the shelf hygrometer is accurate. They don't use good sensors, but what would you expect for $10.

If your hygrometer can be adjusted to match 75 during a salt test then there may be hope.

If you want to know with accuracy, the EXTech pen is the way to go. I calibrate all my desktops with it by getting the h% where I want it then noting what the cheapo hygrometer reads to know how much they are off.

Almost all Radio Shack ones have been 4% off.

I have tried many different brands. They all suck for accuracy.

Only the Pen, and the units that come with a cabinet (Aristocrat, Arlin Liss, Avallo...etc) are accurate.

The only thing I have not tested of late are the new cigar oasis digital models.
