I guess I'm New Here
Hi All,
I've been lurking this board for a while now and searched to see if I ever introduced my self, I guess not....I'm Jeff and some of you may have seen my on other boards as skydiver as well. I found this one through google....
Anyway, been smokin awhile and I've moved from humidors to a 110qt cooler. I have a question, my hygrometer reads 62% and I want to bring it up to 68% (and I did)- but how long before the cigars are actually at 68%?
Thanks all,
Jeff

Welcome to the board.
I don't have an answer to your question though. I would think the cigars would smoke just fine at either RH. I would probably even prefer mine at 62%.

Welcome to this Forum!
From what I've read and from my own recent personal experience (taking 54% cigars and slowly getting them to 64%), I would say it will take 2-3 weeks. While my cigars did not suffer longterm from being at 54% (ish) for a few months, I noticed they were dryish and when I clipped the cap, the cap kind of shattered into lots of pieces. After about three weeks, the caps were staying together again. I could also "see" a difference in the way the cigars looked and felt in my hand. Granted I would need many, many years before I could take a 54% and a 64% cigar in each hand and tell you definitively which was which. I just know for now that there was a difference.
However, I don't think it should take that long to go from 62% to 68%. I don't think your cigars will care all that much either....

Welcome to the board - That's a good size cooler and the cigars would probably reach any different rh faster if the air can circulate, which can be achieved with some spacing between boxes, or a small fan, or both.
Equality is not seeing different things equally. It's seeing different things differently.

I do have some of the small cedar blocks that come in boxes inbetween the boxes themselves. I also wonder about the 'drain plug' on the cooler if it would be benifitial to open that for a little circulation.....Originally Posted by basil
