65% Heartfelt beads leave my humidor at 72%

As Adam as stated there are a lot of threads that can help you; "Search" is your friend.

In any case, if your ambient RH is less than 65% I would remove the HF beads from your humidor and let your humidor dry out a bit -- maybe even leave it open for a bit.

Dry out your beads a bit so that they are not saturating your humidor and you should be fine.

Put the beads and the hygrometer in an airtight container and see if the beads are doing what you expect. Otherwise, your humi is leakkee.

Great suggestion. Will do. And it very well might be the humidor leaking.

Regardless of the source of the problem, once I get the problem fixed, any idea how long it will take for the cigars to adjust down to 65% or thereabouts? Heard it can be a slow process but not sure if that means, days, weeks, or months.
