Humidity level too low?

This assumes that the humidor has a good seal...

That's what I was getting at, along with the fact that 60% of humidor owners don't have as good of a seal as they think. I can tell him firsthand that the little Thompson Cherrywood humidors don't hold a very good seal at all. I'm talking to the point where I got mine for Christmas and I'm already replacing it.

As mentioned above, if the jar has been sitting out, it's likely dry. Add some distilled water to it.

Also give it a few days to stabilize. Mine did the same thing and holds 65-69 now. FL humidity fluctuates a lot.
