Yes, you definitely have a problem.

Yes, I share your problem.

Hello, my name is Spyros and I DO open my humidor every five minutes.
(that's the first step, isn't it?)

Only when I need to grab a smoke, putting new ones in or to refill humidification. I have a few glasstops to that feeds my need to look. :D

I have a glass top on mine, I just peer longingly through, I do have to Windex the drool off daily though. :-)

2 of my Aristocrats have glass doors and are placed directly in front of the 2 chairs in my small cigar room. Opened as needed but fondly gazed upon each evening. :ss

I use an "everyday smoke" desktop that I load up about 1 time a week out of the vino and try to limit the vino to 1 or 2 openings a week. Can look thru the glass and dream of all the good stuff in there and instead of opening and looking around I just order some more off one of the daily sale sights then I have a reason to open it when they come. Yes it is a disease and most of us have it but the symptoms do vary.:banger

I've recently re-seasoned my humidor, and tried to get all the "peeks" out of my system before I did so. It didn't work! I still wind up peaking at least once a day, and sadly, I know I have no sticks in it yet!!:ss

Re: Humidor opening
 
I usually open mine once in the morning to take a a couple of sticks for the day and then once in the evening to take out what I will smoke in the evening. That doesn't count opening for adding stuff or opening to take out stuff for sending to others!!

The inside of a well stocked humidor is one of the best scents on earth . Somebody ought to make an air freshener with that scent . And yes Jersey , it only gets worse if you think of it that way . I think it's just getting better .

I would agree I open my humidor at least 3 times a day.

Sometimes it is to get something out and others it is just to enjoy the beautiful smell... :D

Yeah I have a 2-3 peek a day habit. But then I have a clinical looking coolidor. I may do something drastic with a heat knife, some lucite and gorilla glue before too much longer.

I open mine often as I am always adding/subtracting cigars, but having beads in my Vino allows for more stabilization when its opened a lot

I open both of mine 2-3 times per day looking for sticks that I want. I have Shilala's beads in both and never have a problem with RH changing, so i don't worry about it.

Re: Humidor opening
 
What I do is put a wireless Hygrometer in each of my humis/coolerdors and check the RH/Temp every day. I only open when I need to dig some sticks out or add more. :) I do love that smell of well stocked humi with a perfect temp/humi.

NOt to be the "stick in the mud" but.... if it's winter and you have the heat on or even if you don't the air is VERY dry so just take that into consideration. Conversly in the summer you probably could leave it wide open and it would be fine, although I don't recommend it. :D
