Christos, the humidor seals pretty damn well. It holds humidity very well with the Moistenaire when the room is lower rh. The issue is, opposite of most situations, in the few months the AC is on the room is more humid than I want my cigars. I need to take moisture out of the cabinet. Not gonna drop the dough for 12 pounds of beads, that's ridiculous. It's not like I'm putting cat pee in there.
Truth be told, the cigars are still smoking just fine. I just don't want >70% cigars in the next month or so, they taste and burn awful when they creep up that high.
