Wineador Humidification

If you watch your hygrometer you will see fluctuations as the cooler cycles. Just leave the beads alone and you will be fine.

OK. I just wet the beads to your recommendations and put them back in. I'll try to stop being a slave to my hygrometer. LOL!

Give it time and things should stabilize. You will get spikes in Rh when you add a bunch of new sticks but over the long run you should be fine. Judge your Rh by how your cigars smoke. If they draw well with no wrapper issues, everything is just right.
