So i took time and seasoned my new humidor. I did the distilled water in a bowl. I took the bowl out and it maintanied a humindity of 70% for three days with not water in it. I then start adding cigars. I think i have a total of 40 and am using the product below to maintain the humidity. I have four of these tubes in my Humidor and i cant get the humidity above 60% now. Does anyone have any good ideas on what i can do?

HaHa. I just bought some beads for my 40 gar humidor. They work pretty well, but winter weather is hard on the system. I have been refilling every 2 weeks with distilled water. It does maintain about 65% now. I was having a hard time keeping it at 60% when I was using the cheap fiber humidifier that came with it. |

Not knowing the size and type of humidor you have, this may or may not work. What I do:
Take out the trays and wipe everything wood that isn't going to touch the cigars with water. Take a ramekin with a little water in it and put a fluffed up wet paper towel in it so it acts like a wick with a large surface area. Place this on one of the trays. Make sure the humidor is right around 70 degrees. Put the cigars in and let things equilibrate. I have a tub of silica gel kitty litter in the bottom. I have to do this every so often with my coolidor. It can go three seasons and stay stable, but it needs attention during the winter. |

winter climate will affect the humidity level as well. besides, 70% is WAY to high. i keep mine between 60-65%. This. The cold winter is making it a bear to keep humidity in mine. This is the truth. Winter kills good humidor humidity. FACT |
