Is this ok for now?

[kmckinn3]

I got more sticks than my little 25 ct. humi could handle comfortably... no surprise there. I am saving up for a larger one but until then I loaned one from a friend... it has the natural finish.

It's a couple years old but seems fine. I split up the sticks up between the two. I finally got some distilled water and filled the tray under the natural finish humi and also filled the florist style foam disk in the blue guy.

The disc looked a little nasty which worried me... but I plan on replacing it with beads or getting a larger humi soon, so hopefully it's not an immediate issue. The water has only been in for a couple hours and blue reads 62 and the natural reads 68. It's been pretty cold in my house lately so I've been keeping them in the closet under blankets :crosseyed. Since my stash has grown I have started worrying more about their storage. Since I have the chance, I thought I'd ask a pro... is this setup alright for now?

Thanks brother

You should season them before putting your cigars into them.

you just have to go through the process of seasoning the humidor properly. If there is a doubt, than a big piece of tupperware and a boveda will work fine. will

That tray in the natural finish is pretty cool.

That gel disc looks a little moldy, if so you probably shouldn't use it.

It was hand made in the Philippines to my friends specifications.

That's why I was worried. I can't tell if it's mold or not though. The natural finish has an RH of 70 now... and the blue now has raised to 65 and stayed steady.

The natural finish now has a RH of around 72 and the blue is at 68... suggestions?

Just open the lid up to let the RH drop. Maybe take the disc out and just throw a water pillow in there to see where it stablizes at.

So take the disc out and put in a soaked Humi-Care pillow?

I would think that would be good enough to hold 65 RH. Just crack the lid until the RH drops down to what you want then throw the pillow in and close it back up. Check the RH in a day or two and see where it is holding. I would take the disc out if it was me. Don't care for the discoloration on it

Disc is out. Pillow is soaked and in. Boxes are opened and dropping.

Thanks brother

No problem. Good luck. Think all of us have gone through plenty of heart ache with storage problems :halfgrinw

that little drawer looks like it would hold a couple of bovedas
