new humidor, first humidor
OK guys, I'm looking for some imput on getting my first humidor. Aside from going twice as big as I think I need, do you guys have any other advice or tips for chosing one? A few I've been looking at have a glass top, do you have to worry about those sealing as well??
Here are a few that I'm looking into getting:

1. Calibrate your digital hygrometer
2. Season your humidor and make darn sure it's well-seasoned before putting any sticks in it.
I was more thinking that the temptation to keep on opening and closing the new humi excessively is sometimes too much to bear because of that glorious goodness within. haha. I guess the moral of the story is moderation, whatever that is. Because I ruined one humi and the cigars within a while back from overfussing with it I now exclusively buy glass top ones because I can oogle the goodies without opening it too often. If only I'd made the switch to beads and a digital hygro years ago. . . . live and learn I guess. Anyway, that was a good point to add you guys, thanks.
Had the same problem. Went to the hardware store and bought some double backed sticky foam, very thin, and some magnets. Got some scrap metal pieces at work, attached them to the humis, attached the magnets to the pucks, hygrometers and humidifiers. Now I can mount them in diffent arrays if needed also. Working well so far. Sticky backed magnets are ok but not agressive enough for the high humidity it seems.
