Default Re: any recommendations

Whew...testiness.
While we are calling attention to leaks in people's logic, let me say this (with respect) to RonC...A cheap Hygrometer
and green foam disc that ships with a cheap humidor doesn't make them lose humidity like sand through a seive.
THAT'S bad construction. And with proper glycol solution, they should not lead to mushy or dry cigars, since the
solution is supposedly designed to hold a specific humidity with proper use. So dry is a result of not keeping
an eye on the disc's moisture level and mushy is a result of not properly charging it with fresh solution from time to time.

Cheap hygros just read innacurate values, mostly consistently. It's still the BOX that leaks. I have three cheap
humidors, none of which can hold moisture. ANY one of them could have been the savior of all, but instead, they
all suck. When I tell a 'newbie" not to skimp on a humidor by buying a 50 dollar 300 ct., I speak from experience
and disgust.

I will grant you the person did not ask for bulk storage recommendations, and I don't think anyone called me out, I'd have
to read through to see, but I DID say if you are going to get a nice desktop for the office, get a good one, and leave the
cheap humidors to the people that believe in em so much.

But in the end, it's just a discussion. We all have our opinions.
