Living in Ohio this time a year plays havoc on my humidor. With the relative humidity in the house dipping to somewhere around 40% RH. Inside my humidors I play overkill when it comes to the humi-sticks and jars of propylene-glycol gel. But still my humidors fight to stay over 60%RH.
My solution, shot glasses or small plastic cups with plain old distilled water in them. How does everyone feel about this method? Does anyone do the same and does anyone experience problems with this? This method does wonders inside the humidor, raising the RH to 70% in just a matter of days.
After a couple weeks I found small black clouds floating in the containers of distilled water inside my humidors. Does anyone know what these small black clouds are? Beginning stages of mold? I removed the containers just to be on the safe side.
What is your take on this method?
