    Opening your humidor once in a while to check isn't going to hurt anything.Matter of fact it's recommended for air circulation.It won't drop much and it will come back.

    If it passes all the way through from the outside pop it out from the inside. Otherwise just leave it alone. I bought a humidor from CC also and replaced the analog first thing with a xikar digital

    I have a Cuban Crafters humidor and my analog hygrometer is all over the place. right now it says i'm at 55% but it's seasoned, sealed well, and has a humi-puck of beads as well as some humi-pillows so I am pretty sure I am at the right humidity. guess I need a digital hygro as well.

    Be sure do get a digital that you can calibrate, and do the salt test. Fill a bottle cap with table salt. Add a bit of water, just enough to moisten the salt. Add this and your hygrometer to a sealed bag and wait 24 hours. In this time it will be 75% RH in the bag. Adjust the hygrometer accordingly and you'll be good to go.

    I just got a new humidor from Cuban Crafters too, The "Bravo" 120ct. it came with a small plastic tool to adjust the analog hygrometer... you should be able to just calibrate it to your digitals display (if the humidor has stabillized) that's what i did, and it is still in sync with my digital now... also my analog did come out, but I didn't have to remove it to make the adjustments.

    Does the one on yours display the analog on the outside front and have three port holes on the inside of the humidor? That is the way mine is set up. I never received a tool with mine. I just finished seasoning for a WEEK and now I am going to let it settle for 2 days and see if it keeps the humidity. If not, I am returning it.

    Full or nearly full humidors hold their RH better than depleted ones. Time to put in some orders and find out what the real capacity of that sucker is :)

    This is something else I didn't know. My humi is usually only half full 6 months out of the year. While I'm gone to work. I usually order new sticks a few weeks before I return home so they'll have a chance to rest before I get back. I never knew about that either till I started reading the forums.
