    Humidity Problem!

    I just got my 100 count class top humidor and seasoned it. Placed my humicare humidity jar in with only about 10 cigars I got. My hygrometer at first read 70% which I was happy about but since then every day after the humidity drops about 1% and now it is down to 57%. How do I fix this problem?

    Glass Jars

    Anybody use them. I have 3 and have used them to take cigars on vacation or storage for humidor overflow. The ones I have have a capacity of about 15 cigars and I have smoked cigars that were stored in them for 6-8 months. No humidity problems were experienced (no humidification device used).
