Too humid even without humification unit

oldsoulrevival

Been a while since Ive posted because life has been INCREDIBLY busy (good, though), and I went to check on my cigars today, and one of my prized sticks looks like it might have some mold on it. My humidity is at 73, which is WAY too hhigh but I dont even have a humidification unit in there. What to do?!

Do you have any humi beads? If you do, you might try putting them in dry. They may pull the humidity down. Other options are crackers or desiccant.

get beads or just throw in a boveda pack and walk away like a boss.

Agreed heartfelt or boveda!! Sometimes you can add the silica packs to lower slowly but it's hard! I have the same problem but I use boveda 69's for the most part and they hole at 70 but in the smoking humi I'll add silica packs and try to keep it around 65-67rh

Oh snap! Is that a foam humidifier I see? I'd change that if it is.Oh and what's that book there? Looks right up my alley.

Put couple of cedar paper sheets. It sucks the humidity. If still doesn't work then you need to take your cigars out and keep the humidor open for few days but the weather need to be dry for this method.

How is the salt working for you?

Down a couple points. 96% RH outside today. 70% in the box. The box is good and tight, I can tell you that. They tapered the lid flange and you can hear and feel it whoosh when youopen or close.

Sounds like you are doing OK now. If I were you I would be keeping as many beads in that humi as I could get. Do NOT charge them! Sounds like your danger time is behind you now.
