Question about humidor and humidity

Bageland2000 · 02-18-2011, 09:30 AM

Hmmmm, I added the water so that the beads were about 80% full and left the tube in over night (about 18 hours) and the RH is only....58%. Is it possible that the wood is still absorbing moisture? Do I just need to give it more time? Ideas? Thanks to everyone sticking with me on this, just want to make sure I'm caring for my cigars...

Yes. Be patient.

It could take a week or more, just give it time. Your cigars will be fine.
