Shilala Beads

Updating my situation:

I swapped out the hygrometer from my cooler with the one in the glasstop, and it still read 50%. So I took out the bottom layer of sticks in the humidor, placed a bowl of water in with the beads, put the top tray back in, and sealed her up. Over the past 10 days, the humidity has slowly climbed by about 1% per day so she's sitting right now at 70dg/67%. I may go a tad higher before returning all the cigars to their previous positions.

Not sure what caused the drop. I resealed this last year, and it had been holding steady for some time. Could be that my stepson, who spends a lot of time in that room, or one of his friends, have been poking around in the humidor, but I won't ever know that for sure.

Anyway, the problem seems to be fixing itself, so that's the important thing.
