Re: My first humidor
 

Hey guys, I'm looking for some tips from the experts here. I had to take my Puck from cigarmony.com out of my humi, as the RH kept creeping up over 70%. Right now my humi is holding rock steady at 68% with no humidifier. My Puck got saturated when I was seasoning the humi, so I think that might be the issue. I figured I could take the Puck out, and let the beads dry out a little, so they can soak up some moisture and drop my humi down to 65%. But after a bit over a day sitting outside, the Puck doesn't appear to be drying out. I know the RH in my apartment is pretty low, when I open my humi, I can see the RH on my Hygroset start dropping almost immediately. Any suggestions?

not a bad looking box kreth! Just make sure she seals real well (if you let the lid go and drop on its own weight, the air pressure should catch it so that it doesn't go BANG) and she'll do the job.

Also, make sure because its glass top you dont put it near a window or else the sun will destroy your cigars, basically causing a green house effect.

Yeah, it's got a pretty good seal. See my post above about holding RH even without a humidifier inside.

Thanks for the tip.
