The Bally II is a nice humidor (I have one). It will season, but it will take a few days. You can calibrate the analog hygro with a small screwdriver through the hole in the back.
Thanks, Shilala. I was worried in the back of my mind about such a "one point" calibration. Perhaps I'll swipe some sodium nitrate from the lab and check the humidity reading on my hygro with it.
I did not wet the beads directly as I'd read somewhere that damaged them.
I didn't think the low RH would cause the wrapper issues either, it's just too much weird stuff going on all at once. Got me jumpy.
I have a nice 100ct humidor that I have had up and running for two-three months.
For a long time, I only had 15-20 cigars in it, and a drymistat. My RH was reading high, so I salt-tested my hygro and found out that it salt tested at exactly 75% (sweet). I pulled the drymistat, since it was...

I wasn't sure about this cigar. It had such a huge ring gauge, I probably should have punched it...
You may think "active is better than passive", but just remember that "active" is a mechanical device that can fail. Passive relies on simple chemistry that isn't going to change, get uncalibrated, or break.
I get leather really well... for me it "tastes like leather smells" if that makes sense. Mostly it's just a hint of a flavor that is evocative of another flavor. I've never had a chocolate cigar, but some light up similar taste buds and the brain processes it like that.
I can usually only...
