Last year I moved from the San Francisco Bay area back to Salt Lake City, Utah. As I'm sure you know, Utah is much more arid than the coast and I've been having trouble keeping the humidity up in my humidor.

My humidor isn't big, just 4 drawers (I forget the capacity). I keep two of the silicon sticks in it and had no trouble keeping the humidity at about 60%. I don't get into the humidor much these days (it's too cold to go outside to smoke at night). Obviously I need to check the sticks and dunk them in water more frequently, but is there anything else I can do to help stabilize the humidity in this climate?

Should I re-season the humidor, add more sticks, change the sticks for higher-humidity ones or just check it more often?
