If the cigars are smoking OK then the humidity is OK. If they seem dry and burn too quickly then you need more humidity. If they seem wet then you need less humidity.

Hygrometers and beads and all that stuff are great, but in a small humidor you don't really have the room and probably don't need anything.

BTW, it can take weeks for cigars to react to changes in humidity in your humidor. Cigars are much more resiliant than most people give them credit for.

Don't over think it, just enjoy your cigars.
