5. I find personally all the little hygrometers a crap. I just load my humis up with 65% beads. Mine smoke perfect, no tunneling, uneven burns, and less worries.

what have your friends told you about your cigars that has your concerned? Are they brittle? Usually you will experience more burn issues with an over Humfried stick, but it sounds like you're loosing humidity.

Some guys like their sticks in the high 50% RH.
