I live in VT and find it near impossible to keep my humidor at 70/70. It gets very dry up here in the winter and I am wondering if there is a better way to keep the humidity up without spraying the inside with water every 2-3 days.
All suggestions are appreciated.

1. What are you using for humidity?
2. What kind of humidor is it?
3. How many cigars do you have in there?
Couple of quick suggestions:
1. get a few boveda packets and see if that helps
2. if not get a shotglass and fill it with water and let it sit in there. -
Spray water in there? I wouldn't do that unless you are talking about rewetting your humidification device. Brianetz1 nailed it with his questions and suggestions. I personally would go with the Boveda packs. They are inexpensive and easy. How many you need depends on size. They can get you through the winter months.

+ on the Boveda packs. Are you getting a good seal? Goggle up the dollar bill test and check your seal. Digital hydration gauge is a must also. In the winter and with wood heat i set my humidors into a cooler to control the ambient humidy. Good luck
