    New Humi RH Wont go below 70%

    I have been battling this same problem. Do what Mark suggested. Dry the beads out completely (I use a hair dryer) every couple of days. I also removed my beads from the tube and put them in a nylon stocking, (.33 at walmart).

    Good Newbie Brands?

    Another fantastic sampler is the "Mild and Mellow" sampler from CI. I LOVED them all. http://www.cigarsinternational.com/proddisp.asp?item=SP-CIDD24&stext=MILD%20and%20mellow :tu I just looked a CI and they dont say if they ship to Canada or not. Try and place the order and see if it goes through.

    Spiraling costs threaten to extinguish cigar-leaf farms in N.E.'s Tobacco Valley

    I only lasted a few weeks. I picked suckers and re wrapped the tops. I went down a complete "ben" when the foreman said I retied the string around the top "heart" and probably killed all the plants. Then I came up with a bad case of poison ivy and had to quit. Tobacco rash doesn't feel well on...

    Bead drying question

    How long does it take for 4 oz. of beads to dry in the oven or hair dryer? I had them in the oven at 150 degrees for an hour and they still look clear/opaque and some white. 20%,50% and 30% respectively. I then tried drying with a hair dryer for 10 minutes and they didn't change much.(High heat...

    Bead stabilization time

    I thought it was seasoned at the time. It held 85% for 3 days with distilled water in a bowl. Once I removed the bowl it stayed at 80. I then left the lid open overnight and then checked humidity. It was at 70. That's when I put the beads in and sticks.

    Bead stabilization time

    I ordered a 4 ounce tube from Heartfelt. I was planning on opening the tube and dividing the beads between my two humis. The external dimensions are: 16.25" x 9.25" x 6.5". I seasoned the humidor for 3 days and had a steady 85%. I let it rest for 2 days and put my sticks in. Its been 4 days and...

    Humidity holding at 70%

    My newly seasoned 200ct humidor is holding 70% with no beads, or any humidifier in it. I do have 75 or so sticks in there, but thought it strange after a week its still holding at 70. I do have 4 oz. of beads coming from Dave, so that will bring the RH down to 65%.
