Hello everyone. I am a novice, but am gaining speed as I go. Who would have ever thought choosing, storing, and enjoying cigars could be so complex...lol

Anyway, I recently purchased a 100-ct cedar lined humidor - it came with the basic sponge/analog setup and I simply cannot get the rh level set right. Granted, I have not spent a great deal of time trying different methods, but have tried a few. It stays at 85-90rh

I ordered an Oasis XL electronic humidifier - is this going to solve my problem? I have read so many different solutions to the rh issue I am second guessing this purchase..lol

I need to get the humi right soon as I have a few hundred bucks of smokes on the way!!

Thanks Kuzi

I am assuming from your response that it will, in fact, keep my levels accurate (without the fuss and worry) if I am willing to give up some space. I am also assuming (sorry) that this will be a sufficient answer to my humidity issue in lieu of using alternate methods (beads, gels, etc)

I have really come to enjoy a good cigar(have tried a LOT of different ones in the past couple months) and it is rather addicting.

There is a method to my madness - since the Oasis does take up a bit of room (as long as it works) then I will be 'forced' to have to upgrade to a bigger box...my wife will surely understand that logic...lol

I'd say get the bigger humidor to justify the Oasis!

don't those oasis humidifiers have a chord running out of them too? That could be a problem in a 100ct.

The electronic humidifiers don't do anything to lower the rh though do they? If you're consistently too high beads may be the way to go. I threw some in my humidor andhaven't looked back since.

Lol I don't know but the camelbak of beer is admittedly something that has crossed my path before

Last spring, we had a massive ice storm and the entire county shut down for about a week and a half. We just filled our camelbak's with beer and went on adventures around the frozen wasteland that used to be the arkansas hills...
