The beads at this point, after I put the humi-pillow in, are at least 75% clear.
The humidor is a 50ct.
How would I test the seal?
The cigars have been in for about 16 days now.
It was season using a glass dish of distilled water that was placed in the humi and refilled as needed. It seasoned for 4 full days before I removed the water.
EDIT: Just tested the seal, it seems fine.
The reason i said this is because up here our rh is 30-40& plus we are all on naturel gas for heating.lol dry and drier . lol This time of the year i consider 64% a good reading. your sticks should smoke ok. I don't think this is too low.Help me out here guys.
Well, I live in a naturally humid area, usually in the 60-80% range near my house. I wouldn't think weather would be affecting it too much. As it has been cold the heater is running on and off, but again not enough that I'd think it'd affect humidity in the humi.
Yeah thats the reason I posted that .Your normal everyday rh should be higher than my humi . Smoke and enjoy your sticks. Don't worry about making them aged classics. I do like to give them about 7 to 10 days of rest to stabilise them a little off the truck.
It sounds like your beads are running just fine I know they can swing +/- 3 sometimes and with them being at 63 like that they will be perfectly smokable. Nothing wrong unless you are completly anal about it.
In the dryer months, I find myself getting the beads 100% clear and that seems to bring the rH up a bit. Mine are never exactly at 65%, sometimes anywhere between 62 and 69.
