    Bally II humidor(glass top)

    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.

    Beads, RH issues, generic musings.

    I'm not sure. The cheap ones probably just use capacitance between two plates.

    Beads, RH issues, generic musings.

    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.

    Beads, RH issues, generic musings.

    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.

    Beads, RH issues, generic musings.

    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...

    Antietam Cabinet Humidor = Fail?

    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.

    Cigar Reviewing - Detecting Flavors

    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...
