Yesterday I noticed that my hygrometer was reading a bit funny for a few days, it had went from 40 all the way to 80 and stayed at 80 so I took it out of the humidor for a couple of hours to see if it would change or not, after not changing after about 4 hours I decided to put in back since there was now a big gaping hole in my humidor.
While I was pushing it back in the glass face of it shattered in my hands and went all the way through the hole, got glass all in the inside of my humidor.
Luckily all of the cigars that were near it were wrapped in celo. I emptied it out and vac'ed it out. I did get the hygrometer back together and it still makes the swoosh sound when i close the lid. Will this have negative affects on the humidity inside even though it still swooshes instead of slams.
Also, I have been using the same tube of heartfelt beads for a few months now with almost no fluctuation in humidity so I'm pretty sure that the hygro had just went bad.
