Get yourself a Hygroset, an adjustable digital hygrometer. I understand WalMart carries a cheap digital, but I haven't used it. You can get beads to replace your sponge from Cigarmony, Heartfelt, or shilala (member here). Beads are much more reliable, and you can get them for specific target RH. Personally, I find my cigars smoke better at a target of 65%.

The auction stuff still seems a bit deep-end for me.

You can get some amazing deals on cigarbid and cigarmonster. Just be careful and know your prices, as occasionally people will bid something up over retail.

I'm also pretty amazed that I've had this humidor a month and it's starting to seem awfully small. 50 cigars sure seemed like a lot

Yeah, your collection will have a way of expanding to fill available storage. Welcome to the slope.
