msm1771 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Hey everyone, Recently had to switch humis because my 75ct filled up. I noticed that in my 150 count that when I put in the boveda paks or gel that my 2 digital hydrometers say that it's like 70% rh. With absolutely nothing in my humi besides cigars it is about 70 62-64%. Should I just leave nothing in there or buy some 62% bovedas? Thanks everyone Sent from my 86" White Testarossa

... Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 New or not, it needs to be seasoned if it hasn't been used and humidity hasn't been maintained in it 1

El Presidente Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Just like human kind, each humidor is different. You need to find the sweet spot. 62 is perfect for me. Put in your cigars. if it drops over time, chuck in some Boveda or beads. Don't be anal about it. What works for one will not work for another. Just like raising kids. 4

ElPuro Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Don't be anal about it. What works for one will not work for another. Just like raising kids. But what about absolute water content? We must consider also the intrinsic absorption rate of fermented tobacco, yes? I kid, I kid. But there are those.... 1
Guest Robertfarr13021 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I just recently got a 50 count humidor and seasoned it with boveda packs. After the 2 weeks I took the packs out and put my sticks and 69% packs in. The humidity was around 75 but after a week it's perfect at 68%. I did lose 1 stick to a split foot. My advice is after seasoning it again let it settle with just the boveda packs (whatever you choose) for a week then fill them up so you don't have splitting. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

Guest Robertfarr13021 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I wouldn't I would get like 4 boveda 84% packs and let it sit for 2 weeks. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

msm1771 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 Awesome thanks guys Sent from my 86" White Testarossa
Guest Robertfarr13021 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 You can also send me some if it doesn't fit. 1 or 2 lol Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk
planetary Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 If you're thinking about tupperware, and you expect additional boxes to come in, I'd go straight for a modest cooler. I've got a 40qt cooler holding 200 sticks and 6 boxes, with some room to spare, while I wait for additional proper humidor capacity to arrive and come online.
