At whitch Rh you store you cigars webmost ? also very humid here, and now I store at 65% and have better results the before (68-70%)
The fancy humidor for spensive store boughts that guys send me -- that's always in the low 60s -- reads 62 right now. I'm not anal enough to keep anything right on one specific digit. I may check once a week or so. The big cooler chest that holds Big Payback box of home rolled from other FTT members and various boxes of my own Uppowoc Perfectos, either in the process of aging, or waiting for some sucker for me to foist them on, that's in the low 60s too. Reminds me, I gotta load up a Johnny Sotweedseed bomb for the guy who sold us Bearswatter's Equinox. I bombed his desk, he smoked 'em, and when she went in to pick up his plates the other day he told her he would gladly take more, so he's gonna get double hit. Can't be specific about the aging box, cause the hygro in there is analog. Then there is a small beautiful humi that holds my U.P.s which are aged to perfection -- this is my smoking stash -- that reads at 63 right now. Got matalotos in there now -- mata fina and piloto wrapped and bound in habano. Delicious. Then I have a couple drying boxes. These hold fresh rolled waiting to go in the aging cooler. One is a Nat Sherman box ... it's empty at present. Other is the new Indian box. 24 wet habano puros in there now. I don't keep a gauge on the drying boxes -- I go by feel. I'll rotate them into the coolidor when they feel right. The smaller cooler chest holding my working supply of leaves stays around 75. It's higher now, cause I've been working thru DVick's wet stuff. Then there is box after box of FX Smith's Sons on shelves in the napatorium. I used to keep them on the closet shelf here in the home office; but I like the odor of them in the nap room. They just stay at whatever the house is; and they seem to keep just fine.
I have way too many cigars and I can't stop rolling more. Looking forward to unloading some when Johnny Sotweedseed rides the Blue Ridge next month.
I forget who sold me a big bag of those hygroscopic crystals. Something like that would help suck the damp out of your cigars. My grandpa used rice for the purpose, IIRC, at his house in Bayamon PR.
