Re: Question about humidor and humidity
Frank (and others) thanks so much for the feedback. I ended up getting the medium sized 70% rh beads. I am going to avoid getting a cooler because I'll be building a Vino soon. I'm sure with the tube in there I'll have no problem keeping the humidity up.

Re: Question about humidor and humidity
How long can I expect it to take for the cigars to normalize once the humidity goes from 52% to 70%?

Re: Question about humidor and humidity
I am not sure I understand. Are they not normal now? If the cigars where stored out of optimum conditions it will all depend on time and type of cigar/tobacco on how long for them to come back.

Re: Question about humidor and humidity
It can take several weeks for the cigars to reach your desired humidity. It's OK -- cigars are pretty resiliant and they will be fine.

Re: Question about humidor and humidity
OK just got the tube
http://i389.photobucket.com/albums/o...0/be34055e.jpg I put it straight in the humidor. I don't need to add any distilled water to it correct? Just asking because the beads sound dry... EDIT:nvm read directions again, added the water... |

Re: Question about humidor and humidity
Hmmmm, I added the water so that the beads were about 80% full and left the tube in over night (about 18 hours) and the RH is only....58%. Is it possible that the wood is still absorbing moisture? Do I just need to give it more time? Ideas? Thanks to everyone sticking with me on this, just want to make sure I'm caring for my cigars...:tu

It could take a week or more, just give it time. Your cigars will be fine.
