It finally showed up!

Well after a few weeks of waiting, I finally got my Humidor shipped up from home to my school (which is almost 2000 miles away). It's a 100 count humidor. I'll be getting an electronic hygrometer for it relatively soon.

Right now its holding:

15 Cusano CC
1 Oliveros Classic Collection (Cameroon)
3 A. Fuente Gran Reserve
1 Fonsceca Vintage
1 Ghurka Ancient Warrior
2 Cohiba (Dominican)
1 Montecristo No. 4

The hygrometer is reading abot 65 right now, but apparently the analog ones are unreliable from what I've been hearing and reading. I'll be getting an electronic one soon.

When I get back home for President's Day I'll be bringing up some more to stock it.

Pictures to come once I get a hold of a camera.

do a salt test on the hygrometer, that will let you know if its accurate or not.
its good to always test them, even the digital ones.

just search for salt test on the forum, it should show up

I've driven my tupperdor back and forth a thousand miles across the country a few times, from my school to where my parents live... definitely would have improved the drive if I had allowed myself to smoke in the car...

[JCH]

Thanks! I'll do that tonight.

As far as the digital hygrometers go, Wal-Mart has em for about $12.00 and I've had great luck with them.

[JCH]

Thats the problem. The closes WalMart is about 40 miles away which is outside my zone of travel for my school. I can walk to the nearby town (no walmart) on weekends, and its only about a mile away. But that's as far as I am permitted (as Plebe anyway) on weekends unless I take pass. And I only have one pass per semester.

your limited on how far you can travel from your school?? where do you go? some military academy?


and if your analog hygrometer tests accuratly I would just keep using that.
