It would work... I did some testing myself and trust this thingies pretty well... However - you can get a very good digital hygro for under $15... I would say - do it! You got nothing to loose and it will make you feel better knowing "for sure" your humidity is well-balanced. I used to wake up late at night worried that my cigars were getting mold or beetles... $15 is the price for a cigar from a B&M shop... Do urself a favor and buy one... Also - look into the DryMistat tubes - AWESOME little things! I swear by them! Very convenient and you can really lay them down right next to your precious cigars! You need 2 of those for ur humi...

Just to put this out there and I know I saw it in the forums before but I did just pick up a digital hygrometer and it also shows temp and I got it at walmart and it only costs 7 bucks. You can barely get a analog dial hygro for that.

I used the humi-car jar humidifier in a small 35ish humi for awhile and thought it was fine, and it was over the summer, but during the winter I always lose humidity and have to drop some beads in there with it or I end up having to reseason cause it dries out fast. So be careful and overfill the gel during the winter.

BTW, how have you been storing your cigars? Before the humidor.

I'm a newbie and just got Humi-Care Crystal Gel Jar in the mail, my question is this...Do I need to fill it with distlilled water now or later ?

When you need to add distilled water you can tell because the gel dries out and shrinks. If the gel is expanded you are ready to go.

Thanks man. Appreciate the info. Still learning the ins and outs of everything.

Yo iron ...... if you got a walmart near you they have a nice digital hygrometer for like 7 bucks ...... i have 4 of them and a few others here use them ..... they work great and dont take up too much room ..... but in NY you need to have one in your humi ....... come on help the economy and if you dont think about it this way ...... for 7 dollars its like insurance for your sticks

This is an old post that got re-hashed somehow. Since then I not only have 2 humi's, 2 hygrometers, and also switched from gel to beads. So I am past this stage of questioning now. But its a good post for the new people to read I guess.
