There's been a lot of discussion lately (mostly among us newbs) about maintaining the desired humidity in our humidors in spite of dastardly heaters sucking the rh out of our lives.
I have a ceramic space heater that I run in the bedroom bc there are three exterior facing walls and it gets cold even with the central heat on.
This little personal humidifier is sitting on my dresser next to my humi ( facing away ) and has really been helping me maintain a solid 63-66 % rh. I thought I would share and figured maybe this will be a good idea for someone else as well.
Cost $30 at bed, bath and beyond. If you wait for Sunday's paper and there is one near you, BB+B usually does a 20% off coupon too.
Long ashes!

What that means is that I can leave a cigar sit in the ashtray all day and it doesn't seem to dry out or be otherwise compromised. I've even forgotten one or two and picked them up and re-lit them the next day and they weren't too bad. I guess I'm really lucky regarding my local climate.
I've since bought an even larger room humidifier and things are staying just about perfect for me at 67%Rh. And my skin isn't as dry either.
Hee hee, I remember a construction job I was on one time back in the late 70's in Delaware City, Delaware. Talk about humidity!! We rented a house in Bear, DE, that had a family room in the basement. The house came with a de-humidifier that had a collection jar about a quart in size. If we sat in the family room to watch TV, I had to empty that collection jar about every other hour or it'd turn itself off. And in the mornings, after showering to get dressed for work, by the time I got dried off I needed another shower. You'd have thought we were living in the Amazon Basin.... LOL
I wish I could have seen the original post. I would have enjoyed a nice "discussion" about Kitty Litter,.... or politics,........ or religion
