for me, it mainly Acid's, but my Mom and Brother work at stores with HUGE humidors so they send me random cigars.

My favorites are Perdomo 10th Anv Champagne, Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real, and Casa Magna Domas Magnas Limitada

So I bought one of the recommended digital hygrometers but I can't get my humidor up higher than 50%? I calibrated the hygrometer with a bottle cap full of salt with just enough water that it'd be pasty and it read 77% so I clicked it two to the left. Popped the hygrometer into the humidor, topped off the humidifier with the humidifier juice and it's only reading 50-55%.

I did not season the humidor because the paperwork that came with it did not mention it - only mentioned how to calibrate the hygrometer and what humidifier juice is recommended. I guess it's a dumb question now that I type it out but should I season the humidor via instructions on the net or am I just doing something wrong? Could it be my dried out cigars are sucking in the humidity out of the air? I had cigars in their plastic wrappers (not sealed, just wrapped) for over a year sitting in a cedar cigar box (again, not a sealed box either) so I know they got dried out. Didn't think it took any science to this, thought it was just pour the juice in the humidifier and that was it

u need to season the humidor! and the cigars could be a on the dry side as well.

Started seasoning it last night - wiped it down around 4pm, and then again a few hours later around 8pm. I definitely noticed after wiping it down at 8pm that the humidity level was higher (77% finally!) so we'll see what the humidity level is today when I get home from work. I'm sure I'll have to wipe it down a few more times.

Definitely need to season a new humidor. It'll take a few weeks for the dry cigars to be completely humidified. Every time I buy a bunch of cigars it dries out the others.

I'm having a hell of a time trying to get it to maintain 70%. I took all the cigars out and put them in a ziplock bag. I've been wiping the humidor down every day and leaving a moist towel PLUS the humidifier full of fluid in the humidor and it's only reading 66% right now... :? It was a display model -- is it possible that it's just REALLY dried out? I mean 3 days and it won't maintain humidity...
