Any difference between 75 and 80 degrees?

Thanks, I might give that a try. I'm somewhat impatient but I'm not sure I want to risk trying it with all 32 of my cigars at once. I know that's not many but to me it is haha

Maybe throw a couple in and see what happens. That essentially turns it into a 6 day process though.

A constant 80 is pushing your luck,if not and it's not a big collection,I wouldn't worry about it.

It's a 50ct humidor so not a big collection but would of course be very upsetting. I'm going to be gone for a month soon so I won't be able to check them.

Unless I get a good size tupperware and bring most with me.

Yeah I think I'm definitely going to do that. I usually don't like checking bags but lately I've been traveling with my handgun so I'm required to check one anyway. Why not bring the stogies along for a ride

What is your RH at?? At those temps I would be concerned with mold as well.

I'd still put your smokes in your carry on. I don't trust the baggers to not throw my stuff around enough. They don't care about cigars being taken on the plane, I got through Canadian and US customs with them in my carry on and not a word was said.

Tupperware can and will over humidify.

Lol it's always something...

As for my RH, it's been all over the place lately but the end result I'm aiming for is 65-69%.

I've been using it forever, Dave. Especially for overflow stuff and troop sticks. I have no problems whatsoever if I use Michael's beads or Boveda packs. I can see it going wild if a guy is in a high humidity area with no beads and is constantly opening it, but compared to a cheapo humi I have always thought it a far safer way to store sticks. Think "small coolidor".
Lots of times I use no beads or anything. I just toss in the sticks and a hygro and seal them up. I'll check the tub after a few days and if all is good, I retrieve my hygrometer. Mind ya, they're slap full of cigars, and those cigars are already well conditioned.
The only reason I posted is because I hoped you'd tell me what the instances are where it'd overhumidify, in your experience. I was gonna ask last time I saw this and now it's totally got the best of me, I had to ask.
