ahh, thank you! I have seen them before, but have been looking around for other possible solutions. I think I’ll do the beads.

Michael — I don’t think it’s the humidor size, or the number of sticks you have in there. More than likely it’s your humidification system. I would suggest you look into getting some humidity beads. They’re available in 60, 65, and 70%, and do a great job at maintaining whatever level humidity you desire, with relatively little maintenance. Heartfelt Industries is a great place to take a look at these. Good luck!

Oh thank you! this was just what i was looking for! I recently can’t get my humidor to balance our, i’ll get it at 70 put everything in and in three days it’ll be working its way towards 80, do you have any advice on setting this up right? i have a 100 count with only 45 in there now, could that have something to do with? But thank you i was curious about some of these, and the pictures were a great add!

Thank you, thank you! As a relative newbie (10 months ago) to cigar appreciation, this was the most comprehensive comparitive essay (written and photo) I’ve run across. The green spot and water damage coverage were particularly useful. I won’t be so nervous about those smokes or tempted to throw them out!
