So I'm very new to cigars. I did the 24hr salt method in a Ziploc bag. Digital hydrometer is at 70%. Can I just assume it's at 75% and just use it and always remember it's 5% under? Or no because it means its not calibrated at all?

I used to use a six-drawer Thompson Humidifier. Had nothing but problems after seasoning it multiple times and using the correct humidification solution and holders. But it could have been a wooden door problem.
So I then purchased a Cyclopentane Humidifier that has 3 trays and holds 150...
If your looking for a humidor, dont buy a Whynter CHC-251S Humidor. my lasted all of 2 1/2 years. Horrible customer service and you can't get the appropriate parts to fix it. Worked great at first now it's just a paper weight.
I’m relatively sure this isn’t plume. It’s mold right? Discouraged because my humidor is never above 70% and always between 65-68 degrees. What am I doing wrong??
So I recently purchased my first humidor (120 count), and I am in the process of seasoning it using the 84% Boveda packs. Now the Boveda site says 14 days, but the guy at the local shop said it would take closer to 5. Hoping he was right I put 4 of those bastards in there and went ahead and...
Hey all, my humidor hasn't held humidity for a while now and after further inspection, dollar bill test, I noticed the liner on the lid is warped/gap. Some spots probably 1/16 or bigger gap.
I know you are not supposed to use any glue between the box and the cedar, I've read the articles about...
Hi all!
My name is Noemi, and I want to learn about how happy cigar smokers are with their regular smoking experience, in terms of humidity and flavouring.
I’m building a product to create the perfect condition for any cigar wherever you are in less than 10 minutes. But I’m not selling...
My father recently passed away from a heart attack, and as my parents were going through a huge divorce he was homeless for a lot of the time before he passed so most of his belongings were lost, however I was able to possess his cigar humidor that has been in a spot in all of the houses we ever...
Hi, so I’ve recently finished a cigar humidor and today put on the hinges, they are only 90 degree locking butt hinges, once put on I noticed a gap between the hinges and lid, I didn’t want to use quadrant hinges due to them requiring higher skill. Are there any solutions I could try?
Hi, I decided to treat myself and buy a nice relatively expensive humidor.
I knew I had to season it, so I had polypropylene glycol solution delivered with it. I used quite a bit of the solution seasoning the humidor... multiple wipes to make sure the wood was well and truly moist.... I now...

I bought a used Montegue End Table Cigar Humidor. He had the shelves on bottom and when got home there was mold on the bottom. Looks like had cigar oasis on shelve in between unit and bottom. You can see dried out green where the slots were. Shame on me for not checking.
I see remedies on line...
I have a humidor made by the Jewett Co., Buffalo, New York. Please see the attached photos. The humidor measures about 1 cubic foot, and is porcelain lined. Although it is obviously old, its in very nice condition. I'm looking for information about my humidor, can anyone assist?

Advice for a newbie...
I have a humidor, I seasoned it, bought 3 bovida packs to keep it humid and my hygrometer reads 75 degrees / 60%. I thought I did everything correctly, yet I am not sure that the above numbers are good thing. Can someone help me out?

Okay so I have a fairly new 40-cigar humidor, received it roughly a week to two weeks ago. I've been having issues keeping my cigars stored in there and staying humid, or rather, getting humid at all. I seasoned it with water in a shot glass as well as using the humidifier until it was around...
Hi all,
A first time humidor user.. I picked up a used large humidor from a tabacco company called villiger.
I'm led to believe that a company called 5th avenue was the original manufacturer.
The hydration pack is just a simple well with a sponge.
As the unit is varnished it's not easy...
