I have a 70-100 cigar humidor for several years now and have had a hard time keeping the box at a constant RH. The box came with a strange glass tube system that I replaced with a Credo 70. I decided to use an electronic combo Temp/hydro unit from I think Radio Shack.
I was keeping up with the Credo juice aswell. So recently I decided to get a Cigar Oasis Ultra.
The unit comes from the factory set at 70%, I set it at 68% which I thought would be a reasonable initial setting. After several weeks allowed to equalize the cigars I feel they are way over humidified. The oasis unit was reading a fairly constant 68%. So I stuck my Radio Shack unit in it and it read 75%. I called Cigar Oasis and the sent me a new one, that did the same thing. I don't know what is going on. I am starting to think that all these years the RS unit was reading high, and that I infact like my cigars much less humidified. At 68% the cigar feet were beginning to swell. I am really confused. When one gets a ciger at a shop do you think they are generally 68-70%. What kind of humidity level do you guys like. I was told by Cigar Oasis that in England they like them about 62%. I did put a flashlight in the box in the dark and no leaks. I would like to keep the Oasis since I payed $85.00

Gimme some advise

Thanks Rich
