Low rh in wooden humidor

[AlanS]

So, my small, 50ct wooden humidor is holding at 58% even with 2, 60gr 69% Bovedas and 20 cigars. It was reading the same rh with 65% Bovedas too.

Should I bother going up to a 72% Boveda, or just chalk it up as having too poor a seal and will end up replacing Bovedas frequently and switching back to tupperdors as much as I prefer the look of wood?

In the end, I'll do what's best for the cigars and ignore my preference for wood.

How do they burn? Too much humidity is not good, don’t over react to smallfluxuations. Too much humidity hatches beetles in them cigars

They do smoke just fine, but the rh dropped very gradually, so the rh of the cigars may not have really changed yet. I'm just concerned with them getting too dry and cracking while handling or smoking.

You know, I didn't even consider it may be a bad hygrometer. If they burn right and taste good, don't worry too much.

The hygrometer was calibrated only a couple months ago, so it should be good to go.

Good point, if they are burning and tasting fine, I'm just being a bit of a worry wart.

Just got used to tupperdors and constant, exact rh in them.

What are you using for a hygrometer? Analog or digital?
