BTW, if you are thinking of making your hygrometer out of horse hair, its already been done.

I'm an engineer with patents and the like. PM me and I'll try to help out

Cheaper and more reliable with better accuracy would be a big win, I think. Particularly if you are able to reasonably incorporate an alarm functionality for RH out of spec and/or low reservoir if an active system.

Lots of places need this type of system, not just cigar users, so I hope that you are thinking much broader. Also, didn't you put out a survey regarding boats as well?

I dont see how your product would be any different than a hygrometer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygrometer If you are planning on an active humidification device, this has been done before also. See Cigar Oasis, Moist-N-Aire, Humidification beads or Propylene Glycol.

Wireless would be nice between the sensor and the main unit if you are going digital. That way we could have the sensor in the cooler and not have to open the lid to see the reading.

I'm thinking I would use RFID so that it has more specific ties to a device. But yes, the device would have some sort of monitoring system.
