Having trouble keeping humidity up

forever.They won't dryout at all if the humidity stays at 65% because they too will be at 65%

I don't see that you have a problem, and what is the point of keeping a cigar forever?

Thanks to everyone for the help. Good to know my humidor is working properly.

I'm not looking too keep them around for 20 years or anything, just want to make sure they'll keep till the weather warms up a bit. I've been smoking on the balcony, and we don't get too many warm days in January here in Chicago.

Phht, "until the weather warms up" is considered short-term in the cigar world.

In fact, I let my cigars rest for at least a week at 65% before smoking them. Most shops keep their cigars at 70%, so they need some time to dry out a little.
