Newby to the forums and need advice on a new humidor

02-28-2010, 11:14 PM

... What the guys said above!

Also, we've got three humidors and a cooleridor. The cooler turned cigar storage vessel keeps RH perfectly--better than any of our humidors, and it's got a lot more space. I, too, would be very interested to know what humidification method you're using; we use Heartfelt beads, and they're wonderful.

If it is an all wood humidor you can check the seal by placing a flashlight inside and looking around the edges for a light leak. For glass tops, place a dollar bill between the top and bottom. If you find a place where the bill slips out easily cut a few thin strips of masking tape on the spot and this should help the seal.

Also Ed (waxing moon on the forum) makes some beautiful humis himself.
