NEW tupperware... Or you'll get stinky sticks... :)

If you use a damp sponge (also new) for humidification, be sure to put it in an open plastic bag... You don't want wet sticks...

Thanks for the tips guys. I got my humidor in the process of being season right now. I checked this morning and the Hygrometer said 70%, but I am not sure how accurate it is, I put a shot glass of distilled water in it this morning before leaving. I will check it this afternoon, if it is a little past 70% I will leave it alone.
Best thing for me to do is probably wait til I get the Paradigm to put in it, but I'll keep an eye on it and see how the gars are doing.

brian...try to shoot for an rh of 62-65% instead of 70.....way better for you in the long run....

That is, assuming that his hygrometer is accurate.

Brian, have you done the salt test with your hygrometer yet?

[brian]

Ok, what I will probably end up doing is ordering some of the 65%Rh beads. Everyone has praised them well, I think that will do the job for me too.

what is salt test ?

[brian]

No, I haven't tested it in anyway. I do not know how to test it actually
Instructions to test accuracy would be greatly appreciated if you could give me some or post a link. Thanks in advance
