Just telling me that they never checked it and the RH is fine doesn't tell me if there was a leak to begin with. I don't mind spending the extra money on a larger humidor but if people are having the same manageable experiences with better cost efficiency, I'm all for it.

I tested mine the same way I would test a humidor.
Drop the lid from half-open. If it falls on a cushion of air without slamming shut, you're good.
If it slams forget it.

No humidor should be air/water tight.
