Noobie.. How can I tell if my humidifer works?

I guess I'll go try and pick up a cheap hygrometer. My humidor was 40, and all the hygrometers i've seen are 20. I shouldve just gotten a 60 dollar desktop humidor with a built in hygrometer.
It hasnt been seasoned. The inside is lined with foam and leather, so I'm not sure about if it needs to be. I'm thinking of just selling this one and buying a desktop humidor. Kind of a mistake buying this instead of a real cedar one.

I would.....sell that 10'er buy something bigger to your budget (buy as large as possible)(sell a body organ if necessary).

Get a digital and adjustable hygrometer. you should be able to get one for the cost of one good cigar. thats reason enough to protect them IMO.

Get RH beads from cigarnut.

Start buying and smoking like mad with out ever worrying about hydration again.

You will probably find that you'll use the 10 count travel humidor in the future, so no money wasted there. And if you went with a $60 humidor with a hygrometer, you'd find that the hygrometer is probably worthless and have to buy a digital one anyways.

Welcome to the slippery slope.
