Anyway, it is now getting a little more full and I will be interested if I can get the 20 in that should be delivered tomorrow....

Long story short.... Do I need to "worry" about 74? Should I pull everything, put it back in the travel humibag thing I was using and go back to square one.....?
My first question(s) would be these:

1.) How did you season it and for how long?
2.) Have you calibrated your digital hygrometer?
3.) What humidification device are you using?

Just a note. Adding new cigars can easily raise your RH level as most shops tend to over humidify them to account for travel time and the fact that most customers don't have humidors (or have humidors that are set up properly).

I hope this helps
