too humid

Here's another thing. Don't put your humidor down because you only paid $40 on e-bay. That would tell me it's probably worth at least $100 brand new, and is probably a pretty good one. Here's another thing. One of my best humidors, the second one I came by was a gift from a friend who didn't want it anymore. If you paid $30 for this thing brand new you might be paying too much. Well anyway, it's really my best humidor, because although I can't get it too far up, it also never gets too far down in the humidity department.

NEVER underestimate the value of something inexpensive. It may turn out to be more durable and functional than an item of far greater cost.

Yes, that's what I've discovered. A humidor is like a New York City subway car. The more crowded, the more humid.
