Picked up the Holts 100ct. Savoy humidor a few weeks ago. Put a bowl of distilled water in the bottom and seasoned the humidor for one week. My humidor required 1.8oz of beads, but I have a one 1oz tube and one 2oz tube (3oz total) of hearfelt 65% beads in the humidor. I have the 1oz tube on the top tray and the 2oz tube on the bottom. Figured the extra beads wouldn't hurt and would only increase the time between recharging the beads.
I used the Boveda calibration bags along with the adjustable hydrometer from Heartfelt. Have calibrated it twice since i've had the problem, so i'm almost positive the hydrometer isn't the problem. Humidor has been sitting at 63% constantly. Added 20 cigars in the other day and it shot down to 59%. Has been about a week now and the hydrometer is still sitting at 63%.
About 60% of the beads are charged with distilled water and I usually leave the humidor shut for days at a time (not going in every day.)
Should I be concerned about this or is 63% normal and not something to be worried about?
Thanks!
