New Humidor ????

SlickRS

I am new to the cigar smoking world and I just got my humidor delivered. I have been trying to set up the humidor but I can't get it to the ideal 70/70 numbers. I have followed all the instructions but the highest I can get it to is 58. Please advise...

what are you using for your humidifyer?

SlickRS

Thanks for your help. I wiped the inside with a damp cloth with distilled water. I soaked the humidifier with the distilled water and put it back in but after about 24 hour it has not gotten over 58. The hygrometer is digital and I pulled the battery out and put it back in then I put it back in the humidor.

I am using the retangle humidifer that came with the humidor. Then I have soaked it with distilled water.

Look into the Boveda packs...I love mine and they are constant and consistant

Humi-care also works well

71 to 73% isn't that a bit high do you get issues with your smokes i always thought the ideal was around 65ish i know its personal preference but don't burn issues start if your rh is to high.

Just to throw this in there, in like 12 hours, I'll be buying my first real humi. Which is exciting!

Mine hover around 71. Nevr had any issues...except with Padilla Obsidian. Other burn issues i can attribute to the wind, that'll really screw with your burn.
