You are unlikely to find a cheap hygrometer which is truly accurate, at best they give you a good indication of whether it's "Dry" "Humid" or "Really Humid". There is a good write up on RH by Dr. Stan Schultz, it's concerning the care and upkeep of tarantula enclosures, but the science is solid.

A good read for any cigar hobbyist http://people.ucalgary.ca/~schultz/Humidity.html

Oregon Scientific has a good reputation. But keep in mind that any hygrometer has a variance of +-2% even the very best. Even lab grade hygrometers need to be recalibrated occasionally. I have 5 or 6 digital hygrometers, all are in the drawer. I trust my beads and my ability to judge if my cigars are smoking well.
