Hygrometer!

What would you guys suggest out of the analog and digital variety i look at analog and i like it because its ascetically pleasing but is there an advantage to going digital? and is there a certain brand you all would recommend i have a analog at the moment and it reads correctly but as i get more serious about my cigars i dont want to rely on the one that came with my humidor cause i am sure its low quality.

The digitals are generally both more accurate and, for obvious reasons, easier to read accurately. The only brand I've seen get regular mention is the Xikar. I don't remember what brand mine are (not Xikar), but they work darn well.

Hygroset, I think. Something like that. I got them from Heartfelt Industries (the bead people).

I have 2 one is a Xikar and one is something else. Both of mine are calibratable but I prefer the Xikar bc it is far easier to calibrate you just press a button. The other one has a turn dial thats a pain and usually takes 4 or 5 tries(consuming 2 or 3 days) before its right when I calibrate it.

cool thanks madurofan

a digital hygromiter that you can calibrate is ideal. If you cant calibrate it then all you have to do is put a little sticker that tells you how much it is off by. ( +2, -1... whatever)

Yea its generally not looked upon well to talk about other places to buy on the open forum, aside from your B&M which remains nameless.
