Read this article from the cigar 101 page at thompson's website. I am sure there are better articles with more information, but it helps to read everything you can find. Hope this helps.

Hey, for a hygrometer, I went to walmart and bought one for right under $7 including tax. It is 14% off though using the salt test. So I can either go back and get a new one and test my luck (some people have gotten pretty accurate ones) or I can just add 14% to it. So there's an option.

Heya Kirkus,

I my main Humidor for all my nice sticks is one my wife bought me to start off my whole addiction to the hobby and it has glass sides. The important thing to remember is that you don't want it to be in the direct sunlight.... Its bad for a humidor in general, but glass is even worse. I keep mine in the shade beside our bedroom window on a dresser and it keeps a perfect 65% with the heartfelt beads for at least a week in our dry Condo so no detriment that I can see... plus it looks real nice and makes reading the digital hygrometer easy without opening the top.
