low humidity level
Figure my first post aught to be about a problem, haha.
Im having a bit of a problem keeping the humidity up in my humidor. The humidor is the Southport 50 cigar humidor sold here on ccom. My hygrometer I use is the Little Havana, which with the salt test, it reached 74%, then leveled off to 68% (Im not sure if its 1%, or 7% off?). The temps in my box are around 64-68 degrees.
I did the seasoning procedure with the shot glass as stated in the directions. The best I could get it to read was 65% with the included foam humidifier. I also have the ccom humidifying solution for the foam. I tossed a water pillow in there to see if I could get the humidity up, but had no change. I picked up a 4oz. humi-car jar to see if that would fix the lower humidity. I also put in 7-8 stogies in there when I put the jar in.
Ive left it alone for about 4 days, and after checking it about 10mins ago, it was reading 52% humidity...? What gives? Have I done something wrong or forgot something? Are there any tips tricks to get the humidity up and stable?
Thanks.
