New member with newbie questions.
Hey guys been lurking for a few days and decided to join. First off, hey I'm Bobby. Been smoking for about a year now don't do it that often but when I get the chance too I really enjoy it. Couple questions to start out.
My humidor is hot and humid (I live in Georgia it's never anything but hot and humid here) ever since I put my new humidifier in (just the sponge type with distilled water) I seasoned it and everything about a year ago when I bought it. How should I get the humidity down? I'm going to get it to cool down by moving it soon possibly to a closet or basement. I've heard that going forward I should only add water as the humidity gets low but what can I do to get it down now? I've heard of the boveda packs and think I understand them what are the beads that you all talk about? Should I just toss the humidifier and get some of those or do they work with the sponge type humidifiers?
I don't have the measurements of my humidor or the number of sticks in it off the top of my head but could get that when I get home from work if I need to. Thanks in advance.

Right now it is about 74 degrees and 75% hum. It's a digital hygrometer. Should I just stick with the 65% beads or should I mix 65 and 70 later once it balances out (I think I saw that in someone else's post on here somewhere).
P.S. Has anyone seen my cutter? I'm wanting a cigar to finish off and long week and can't find it to save my life.
Thanks. Seems like a real wealth of knowledge here that I'm looking forward to sucking up. And I've looked around and haven't seen it. but is there a link explaining how to quote post pictures etc.? I'm not familiar with this forum software.
