What's the best way to keep the humidor steady at 65ish % with a humidifier? To me, it seems that adding moisture to the sponge will always cause an increase in humidity. Am I wrong in this?

Those heartfelt beads are a consideration of mine (how do you use them)? However, I would prefer to make use of my humifier for a couple of reasons, and not take up space with a tray of beads.

I have a yet another collection of questions on this subject if anyone reading is willing to answer them.
I am a bit picky about things and want them to be well in order:

note: I have decided, against asthetic preference, to keep the cellophane on the cigars that have them, based primarily on MMAB's post in that thread.

1) Do I have to rotate my cigars? If so, how do I do it without keeping the humidor open for a long while?

2) The temperature of my humidor will fluctate between 66-73 degrees. Is this a problem?

3) I assume you have to stack your cigars ontop of one another. Currently I have only one humidor with a simple divider. Is it okay to have so many various kinds of cigars so close to one another?

That's it for now. Thanks.

The PG solution is what controls the humdity, it retains/asorbs water at 70% RH.

The questions you just asked

No

No

Yes you can lay them on top of each other.

Ditto.

When I put cigars in my desktop humidor, I lay one layer of cigars in one direction, say vertical, and then put the next layer on top of them horizontally. It's probably not necessary to do it this way, but I do it so that the cigars are packed with a bit of space between them instead of stacking them close to each other. I do use a simple divider between maduros and naturals, but not really necessary either. Just my two cents.

Also, Heartfelt offers a cigar-sized stick with beads in it that comes in two sizes and two Rh%s. I got mine a week ago, and it has done wonders for my humidity problems. I live in the Pacific Northwest, and the humidity is always fluctuating wildly.

BTW, To recharge the beads, you just spray/pour a small amount of DISTILLED water on them and you're good to go. Usually last weeks in a seasoned humidor.
