Well, I am new to this board and somewhat new to cigars. Here are my questions.
I have a cabinet style humidor. It maintains RH pretty well with a cigar oasis and some home made humidifiers. I live in a pretty dry area and when I open the humidor up to make my selection, I notice that the humidity levels fall sharply (sometimes down to the 56 57 range). They always come back up, but slowly (several hours). How long to the cigars hold their humidity in their leaves? Is this swing in RH really that harmful? Is there a way to avoid this problem, if it is a problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
