Question:
My 150ct humidor was seasoned about 1 month ago and I threw in 4 ounces of 65% beads which is recommended for 150-300ct humidors, so I imagine they are sufficient. I have the beads on the bottom level in the middle of the humidor with enough air space for the humidity to travel because I only have approx. 80 cigars or so. I know the seal is pretty decent as I see no fluctuations even when exposed to high/low humidity. The problem is, the dang humidity just will not go below 71-72%!!! Its not life or death, so I have waited awhile thinking a new humidor can fluctuate, but smoking the cigars at that humidity is a pain in the butt. Its like smoking a wet towel. Beads have some clear, some milk white... Pretty good mix so I don’t know what the heck is going on. Any suggestions? Could it be the beads? Would a humidor take this long to season?
