OK let’s establish some givens:
1. I have a small 20 capacity desk humi
2. My preferred Rh is 70%
3. I prefer to spend my limited cash on cigars then accessories.

I have been keeping my smokes humidified using Xikar Crystal Gel 4oz. They smoke well with no issues.

Is it necessary to purchase a hygrometer to monitor the gel? Several botl have done away with hygrometers when using beads. So are crystal gels that much different in a small box?
