Also check the seal on your humidor. Put a $1 bill across the edge, close the top over it and pull. If it somes right out the seal probably lets out too much air. I have seen people say that it needs to not move, but I have one where the bill it comes out if you tug it hard enough but still keeps a good humidity balance.

They're thicker than they used to be!!

They're only about 15% thinner now, but 4-6 years ago, they were 60% thinner!!!

One thing I got for sure I have to get a new humi

But what can u guys tell me about the temperature getting too high

[bigpoppapuff]

hey dan...did you season the humi when you got it??.......have you re-seasoned it each year?.........


as far as temps are concerned...the humi shouldn't get higher than whatever your room temp is,unless it's near a radiator or in direct sunlight....

First off, I am a noob but I will relay what info I have picked up... even though you were picking up 70% humidity b4, you may want to check the device you are using as well because perhpas it has gone bad or is reading incorrectly (just a possibility). I have the same problems with temps and I spent much time measuring temps around my house as well as researching and I was able to find a perfect place. Some guidlines that helped narrow my search were that cold air is heavier and thus you want somewhere low to the ground. Rooms with tile and concrete are cooler than carpeted rooms. North facing rooms recieve the least amount of sun and are cooler... avoid south facing rooms. Windows allow the largest transfer of temperature to occur, so if it is hotter outside, find a room with a small window or if its cooler outside, find a room with a large window. Once you found your two coolest rooms, start looking for cabinets or drawers to get some temp readings as they are usually even cooler than the room and more stable. I am sure some people will recommend a wine cooler or placing the humidor in a igloo cooler as possibilities too. Hope I helped!
