Is this a custom made humidor or converted cabinet? I've seen some cabinets that had a thin plywood back that is unfinished on both sides. This can cause significant loss of moisture. Also, is the back panel securely fastened? Are there any floating panels that could be a source of the leak?

You could add some active humidification for winter, as beads don't have much capacity.
It isn't falling apart, but if I apply pressure to the side of the cabinet, I can make the door move up and down 1/4" at the non hinge side.

This is the cabinet I have http://www.cigarsinternational.com/p...-AV2000&cat=10

I have another pound of Shilala beads coming and this should help a little, but it really will be a bandaid for the real problem.

My hope is that I can add some strength and improve the seal without having to pull the whole thing apart.
