Help with a dry room/low humidity!

I would look into adding boveda packs to them. They should be able to level you out, while not going to high.

ejasenovic

Which packets would you recommend? I'd guess the 72% only bc my humidity problem is so bad...Also pretty sure it's not a sealing issue because my levels were fine til sometime in October...then BAM.

So keep a shot glass of distilled water in there even WITH the cigars in there? Is that still ok?

J.S.

Yes, it will be fine as long as you keep the humi level and don't spill the water. Just make sure if you go that way that you check it more often as even a little water can really drive up the RH. This is very important if you are running 20 and 50 ct. humis as they are smaller and it will take less to change the RH

Have you tested your hygrometers? Any damage to your smokes? Shot glass with water is okay with the cigars… just be careful not to spill.

ejasenovic

The hygrometers are pretty ok...just a few off. The cigars are looking ok but a bit dry. Just put in some shot glasses...Wish me luck! I'll check it in a few hours and see where they are.

Gotcha and will do. Thanks all! And please if anyone has other suggestions let me know!

Depending on how the humi manufacturer tried to cut corners if any I would check the outside bottom...most have felt some just raw wood. If just raw wood it should be sealed! If not then yeah add more humidifiers
