Desktop humi frustrations

K, so if you have some sort of tupperware or similar, put your sticks in there with the bovedas and hygro. See where the RH is after awhile (a day or two). If it drops low or the bovedas dry out then your sticks are dry. If it is stable at about 65%, then your humi is leaking. You will need to seal up every possible leaky area and get it stable before you want to put your sticks back in. If it was a cheapy humidor, this might be a difficult task. Mine was a cheap groomsman gift, so I gave up on it before I ruined any cigars.

Did you calibrate your hygros with a 65% boveda in a small sealable container? Are they digital or analog hygros? Analog generally are not accurate. Calibrate with the 65% boveda and you will have them calibrated to the level you want your humi to be at.

I like the tuperware idea, I'll try that.

Hygro is the basic analog, calibrated with the salt test. I'll also calibrate it to the boveda tonight, another good idea, thank you.

Yeah, salt test is usually not very accurate either. Get a digital when you are able...a caliber IV is a decent one and not too expensive...around $25.
