Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Update on my potential conundrum: I'm thinking about either switching out my Bovedas to two other brand new 65% ones that I have here, or recalibrating my hygrometer if I have to.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Without the ice packs though, the temperature in my room where I store my sticks will hit over 80F easily.
That's why I bought the cooler and ice packs to try and cool everything down in the first...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)

Basically I have two Spanish cedar trays stacked on top of each other in my 7 litre Klip-It tupperdor container...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Is anywhere from 71-75.5F a good temperature for my Tupperdor if I have it in a cooler with some ice blocks due to my apartment having no A/C???
My RH will be anywhere from 60-65% as I'm using 65%...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Thanks for the info friends.
Based on that, I rearranged my blocks by stacking them on top of each other in the corner of my cooler so that they are not touching my tupperdor anymore. I then took...
