Humidor from Hell

OLS · 05-10-2010, 07:52 AM

I have a few humidors I bought cause they were cheap. When you first get into cigars, you look at
these nice units, 1500-3000 bucks and you are like, HELL no. And there is still no reason to feel
you need one to get a good seal. But cheap humis often have a hard time keeping a stable humidity.
I get BEADS that say they will keep humidity stable at 65 and then I add water as they change
color. But all my humidors are cheap, and none will keep steady humidity. But I use humidors to
dry box mostly, so I never got really mad.

It is also good to salt test ANY hygrometer, just to let you know where you stand.

The Oasis is overkill for a humidor that small

That's likely why the RH was up to 90% before filling it.

You can never have too many cigars, they are like an investment in good times.
