Hah! So true. I think my little desktop humidor lived in half a dozen different places in my house when I first started smoking, just trying to find the place that was closest to 70 degrees. And using the little Xikar gel containers to keep it at 70% RH was all I could do not to freak out over why it wasn't staying within a point or two of 70%.
Years later I found out that the digital hygro I was using sucked, and was probably off possibly as much as 10 points, so there was a good chance I was keeping them at way higher than I should've been.
