    Just let them sit and the RH will be back up in a day or two. This will happen almost every time you add a decent amount of cigars. Don't worry about 63% either. Many guys on this board try to keep their stick around this anyway. Also, unless you need a cigar, don't open the humi unless you have to for the next few days. This will obviously help stabilize it.

    That's my problem, can't keep it closed. Maybe you need more cigars. Welcome Kevin

    +1, I also like to keep my cigars between 63-66%...they just seem to smoke better imo

    Just the cigars taking in humidity....once you have the humi filled it will hold RH even better...

    Thanks everyone! I can see the rh coming back in the last 24 hours. Crazy thing is b/c so many of the cigars I added are 60 ring gauge, the humidor is already getting full with only 50ish in there. 20 more are already on the way.
    Welcome! Humidors almost never hold the alleged count given by the manufacturer. If answer number one is more cigars, answer number two is always more storage. Which, of course, leads you right back to answer number one. ;) Enjoy!

    I never sweat lower RH's like was said already, most sticks smoke better at lower RH. I do get concerned when it tries to go over 70. 60--65% is perfect for me.

    Well, I"m the exact opposite dude. I just got a 300ct humidor, seasoned it and put about 65 cigars in there and the humidity is too high! It's sitting at 74% but I have 10 Gurhka Titans on the way and will pick up some more in a few weeks. I want at least 150-200 in there and I'll be working on that as the weeks come :)
