With humidity in the 70-85% here in Minnesota, the counter might actually be worse. If your house is air conditioned, that will drop the humidity considerably, but its so damp out now, you might be better of just leaving them in the humidor. The Cities may be different from down here, but still....any wetter and I'd have to swim to my car.

Good catch, Scott.

Humidity where I live tends to swing between 25-45% year round with only a few exceptions.

Good point. It's been a little more humid up here than before, but nothing on the scale of down where you're at.

My humidity level in the humidor (just calibrated the hygro, and reset my HCM beads) is at 62%.

If I put them in the basement in the box for 24 hours to 36 hours I think I will be ok as the basement is usually around 62 degrees and almost 0% RH.

That's mighty dry. Even the Sahara desert averages about 25% Rh.

Ok well maybe that's an exaggeration. In fact I will go put a hygrometer down there on a shelf now and see what it says in a few hours.

Thanks again all.
