Hello all! Quick question as a first time poster, but long time lurker. I have a 120 capacity humidor, I use a digital Hygrometer. I have discrepencies with my temp/humidity and wanted to make sure where I should put my best cigars and if I can do anything to change the tem/humidity.

Top tray reads 70-75 degrees and 68-70 Humidity. Varies throughout the day.

Lower level far right separator (farthest away from Humidification system) reads 69-75 degrees and 63-68 Humidity (this is where I put my ISOMs).

Last reading I saw this morning was 73 Degrees and 63 Humidity. I just added more 50/50 Solution since it's been 3-4 months since I replaced the solution.

So, do you guys think this is fine, or I need to change something or what?

Thanks for the welcome guys.

BPP I did use search, but there are many conflicting answers. Everyone says use beads, I may do that, but would prefer to use up my 50/50 supply first before switching.

People say if Humidity is low 60-65 it could justify to have Temp. @ 70-75. The lower the humidty, the higher the temp may be, not exceeding 75 degrees of course. I may be wrong.

Is there another reason other than preventing cigar beetles or mold from appearing when temperature exceeds 70 degrees?

I just smoked a Romeo Y Julieta ISOM this afternoon, and it was great. But, if you feel I need it lower than 70 degrees, then I'll see what I can do.

if christian eiroa,who runs caribe (camacho,baccarat) says 62-65rh...that's good enough for me....70-70 was more for mid-90's when connecticut was the most popular wrapper....with most (all) of the wrappers and filler that are being used today...the lower rh is mo' betta'...
