I have been keeping my smokes humidified using Xikar Crystal Gel 4oz. They smoke well with no issues.

Is it necessary to purchase a hygrometer to monitor the gel? Several botl have done away with hygrometers when using beads. So are crystal gels that much different in a small box?

If they are smoking well with no issues then nothing else matters no matter what anyone says.

IMO, a hygrometer for a 20 count humidor is pointless.
