Humidor Question
I just found a crack in the bottom of the cedar lining in one of my humidors. It goes the entire width of the humidor and my humidity readings have been off of late. I'm thinking I'm leaking humidity between the lining and the walnut of the humidor box.
So should I fill the crack with wood glue, silicone, not worry about it or use it as an excuse to tell the wife I need to buy a new humidor?

Plan B: Do Nothing. Seriously. I'd be afraid that any glue or sealant would be a nasty, chemical ridden addition to the inside of a humidor which would adversely affect the aroma. It isn't worth the risk. The spanish cedar is cracked, no big deal. The wood the box is constructed from is still in tack and so the amount of humidity leaking out through solid wood is sincerely minimal even with the crack in the cedar, which is extremely porous anyway.
Everybody loses humidity in the winter months. A little extra watching of RH is all that's needed, or perhaps your hygro got banged and is now mis-adjusted.
