As to cigar bid - it's exactly what you need. You can get "better" (better being relative to what you like) smokes at really good deals. Instead of paying $5.50 - $6 for a Perdomo Corojo each at the B&M, I can sometimes get a fiver on cbid for $15. You can set your cbid to ship on only Thurs. to combine winnings and save on shipping costs. Knowing the B&M MSRP and cool emotions, buying on cbid can save you some cash. And don't worry, they always have more auctions every day.

If you haven't tested your hygrometer than you may not really know what your RH is at. Depending on the size of the humi, the sponge may have too much water. Definitly at least do a clibration test on the hygrometer to see where your at, go digital if you can, analog leaves a lot to be desired. There are some really good guides on here on how to salt test, so a search for them can give you better guidance than i can.

Understanding your on the budget thing (aren't we all), beads really are the way to go. Scott sets his beads for 65% and they hold rock solid for me.
