How to protect humidors from winter dry ??

I have a small desktop humidor, roughly 50ct. If I do not plan on smoking much, thus not opening it up often during these dry winter months do I need to worry much about the low 62 RH that it's currently holding?


I have only opened it when needed to refill my Xikar jar. This jar is close to needing replacement which may help the RH some as well.

but if i'm holding in the low 60s will my sticks be safe until the season changes?

Some smokers keep their humis at a low RH. they should be ok, but personally I wouldn't go below 62-63%.

My humidors stay 60-63% year-round so imo, sounds like what your are doing will be just fine.
