im having some issues keeping my humidor around the 70% humidity level. when i brush it with distilled water it is the correct level, but over the next day it drops around 60 to 55%. do you have any suggestions for what i could change?

[docstogiefresh]

@saucychurch23 I'm happy to let you know my thoughts. What kind of humidifier are you using and what have the conditions been in your house?

[hortopiro]

how come you have so many humidors? do you collect them?

[docstogiefresh]

@hortopiro Yes, I do collect humidors. It started with collecting cigar boxes as a kid. I just love boxes and can't bring myself to get rid of them easily. Of course, as I got older and started smoking cigars, the "boxes" that I collected and saved were more expensive boxes....

@boy4everjoy Humidors come in many different shapes, sizes and materials. The costs vary widely depending on these factors.

My mother told me that money don't buy happiness. I guess she lied big time!

@saucychurch23 what you would need to do is. Take out all of your cigars an clean out the humi of all the lose tobacco that may have fell off the cigar an then what you want to do is spray the hell out of it with distilled water.an wipe it down. then wait 12 hours then repeating the steps again then your humi should be ready an holding it rh after you do that you should be ready to put your cigars right back in there for the correct storage. this should work, good luck an happy smokes

Hey Doc,

You shouldn't worry too much about UV light damaging cigars in glass-top humidors, as glass actually absorbs UV. However glass can be around 10x more thermally conductive than wood, so you might get more temperature variation if you live somewhere hot. Depends on how much you like to show off your prized stogies!

@docstogiefresh its about 65 degrees in my house, i know thats a little cooler then it should be. it's a simple humidor. it can hold about 30 cigars if that helps to size it. the actually humidifier is 2 and 1/2 inches and round. I've found if i keep an extra sponge in the humidor, the humidity stays closer to 70% but id like to not have it in there if possible. if you have any ideas, that would be great!
