Hello all,
I am a new board member and I am happy I found this place. I have always been into cigars but never had a big collection or even a humidor. My wife bought me a new Savory humidor for our anniversary this past weekend and I was very happy and suprised. She also bought me six cigars to place inside it. As soon as I opened the gift I started reading on the net how to season the humidor and all the things that go with it. This was on Saturday the 28th. This is the one she bought me http://www.elighters.com/hsabum.html
I have having problems getting the RH right. I have read all the instructions such as wiping the inside down with a damp towel and distilled water. I have also placed a small bowl of distilled water inside the box and soaked the Humidifier in distilled water. I tried the salt test on the meter but it would never go above 61%. Now I have placed the meter inside the box with the bowl of water and the humidifier and I still can't get the RH to go above 45%. It has set for the last few days with the bowl in it and it doesn't seem to be moving. In the mean time I have placed the sticks in a ziplock with a damp towel of distilled water to keep them humid but I really want to get the box working right. I have check the seal with a flashlight and I don't see any light.
Can someone give me any suggetions how what I am doing wrong and why the humidty won't get closer to the 70 range?
Thank you
