Glad you liked it.

I'm starting to get suspicious of the humidimeter accuracy. There shouldn't have been anything that went out to you at greater than 70% and stabilized down to 70% in the 6 months you've stored them after receipt. Probably a neat toy. Your call if you want to remove the cello and dry box the second sample. Take a measurement immediately and circle back on it daily for a new test. Science!!!!!!

Yeah, I have had this come up with a few various Cigars i tested that should have been well acclimated to 65% by the time i tested it. Most were still a reasonable number factoring in the manufacturer stated +/-2 %.

I.e. measured 68%, -2% accuracy, gives 66% which I definitely within reason of 65% Boveda packs.

This one still comes out at 68% given the accuracy adjustment, so something seems amiss.

I have noticed that mine seems to consistently read 2% high if you are assuming a perfect world with your Bovedas and tupperdor, and Boveda does list accuracy of +/-1% itself, so now you are looking at a possible +/-3% total, which makes our cigar in question possibly 67%, which I wouldn't consider overly out of line, but still reducing accuracy enough to make the Humidimeter a rough gauge vs a dead on exact measurement, which is how i took it to be from the beginning.

I really dont use it for anything but testing cigars rott to see if they are smokable, or need some rest to acclimate, and approximately how long.

I include it in the reviews, along with outside temperature and humidity, as they are always one of the first things brought up whenever I mentioned a cigar splitting during smoking, and just to put out as much possibly desirable information as possible.

They do sell a calibration kit for the Humidimeter for only $17 shipped, so may put one on my Christmas list. At least then I'll have an accuracy number to work with when I use it. Who knows, maybe mine is 3% off or something.

Worth the money to find out in my opinion as if you know what % to add or subtract, it cold be a useful tool

Starting to agree that it may not ne a useful tool
