Temp and RH fluctuation

[Kingston]

That stupid temp/humidity chart makes the rounds every year.
Relative humidity is what you should worry about, not absolute.
But by all means, try and store your expensive collection at 80% humidity when it's 66 degrees.

Let us know how that goes in a few months.

It is, but I'm with you. If my cigar feels good in my hand, draws and burns well, and the humidor humidity is not way out of whack, I don't stress over the number.

I'm with ya! :thumbsup:

If I can interject with a question (I didn't want to start a whole new thread on the same topic). I cannot get my humidor to stay at a constant humidity. The temp is usually no lower than 65 and no higher than 73. However, the humidity does not get above 68% (on a good day). It usually hovers at 63/65. Right now, its at 61. Its a 20 count. I have the CI 2 ounce jar and a "humi care" water pillow in it. I refilled the jar with some cigar juice this morning and no change yet. There are about 16 sticks in it now, so it is just about 75% full. Any advice from the pros on this? Thanks in advance!
