Humi in a Humi

I would say you best solution is to drill a hole in the side of both the smaller humidor and the cabinet, then seal in a flexible PVC tube between the two. Then, from within the cabinet, point a fan at the tube hole to circulate air from the large to small humi. You may have to repeat this process for an "air return" as well. Finally, you will have to anticipate a "humidity lag" of approx x = (( 10% X volume small humi / volume large humi ) X length of tube (cm) / 2.75) X diameter of tube^2 X 3.14144 / 100. Thus, you will want to set the large humi RH to y+x, where y is the RH you want for the small humi.

I think a schematic would be helpful. Please make sure it is to scale. Be sure to calculate the CFM I will need on the fan.

That is funny Chit. I needed that.

Just buy a humidifier and bring your whole house up to 65% RH!!! Make sure to keep your closet doors open!!!

I keep a small 20 ct. humidor in my cooler with random singles. I have never put a humidificationd device in it and have never had any trouble smoking the sticks that come out of it. I think it is a rare humidor that is completely air tight - there has to be some air exchange. As long as the air in the big humidor is the right RH, there shouldn't be any problems.

I also keep a bunch of small humidors in my cooler and cabinet and I have never had a problem. I put all my CC's that come in dress boxes into small humidors because I can fit more into them and save space. I never put any humidification devices in them and the cigars always smoke great.

That's some funny chit! I may have drooled on myself.
