First post - how did I screw up?

Did you check the seal with the dollar bill test? Also, is the hygrometer a digital one or just an adjustable analog? Also, did you put in the humidifier as well as the seasoning pack (this is crucial)?

Another thing why your RH may be low is if you used only one packet. Boveda recommends using one packet plus an additional one for each 50 cigars worth of capacity, making it two packets for you. Still, 60 RH isn't too bad and if your cigars are 75 RH I think you could put them in.

If you live in the north, 60ish is all you may get this time of year. I have a few humidors and my biggest and best one sits between 60 and 63 this time of year. Infact, I just put another 1/2 pound of beads in just to get it up to 63. Besides the packet, grab a shot glass of distilled water and just let it soak it up.

Sounds like you are well on your way into the craft!

Welcome to the forum bro...just so you know if you hang around here long enough that 50ct will be filled to the max in a short period of time

I'd agree w/Harpoon. You need two of the Boveda Seasoning Packets. That said, sometimes "Gift Humidors" aren't the greatest and may be tough to maintain rh% for that reason alone. I know this from experience. Also try to keep your sticks under control too in the Zip Locks. Welcome.
