assume that maybe you added to the problem. I say this only to prove a useless point, and that is, don't over-
think it to the detriment of the "system". If I had one of those, I would also ASSUME that it was leaky, because
that has been my impression of these since I saw the first one.
In the long run I think you will not regret weather-stripping it, I just point that out because like I said,
"Why did you do it?" I think time will balance things out, but remember, by it's very nature that
humidor is not going to EVER be balanced, it's a tower. Cigars that smoke better dry can go on top,
the stovepipe draws can go in the bottom. You will find what works best as time goes by.
And I forgot what the other thing was, haha.

Great point about weather stripping. My humidor was leaking from one side. I didn't think to mention it since he had already done his. Thanks
