Hey everyone,
I was wondering, do you keep the ceddar in ur humidors from cigar boxes? i heard it helps in maintaining a decent humidity cuz it can absorb it if ever it gets too high. also heard that it keeps the aroma of the cigar.Is this true and should i store my cigars with the ceddar?
thanks

empty space is inefficient as is an overcrowded humidor. If it is more than half empty, buy more cigars or keep some cedar in it. If it is more than 3/4 full, you may want to try to optimize things and make some room. The air needs to flow.
As far as empty space, the only issue with it is when you open the door. The humid air will freely escape. A moistened box is there to stay.
Yes GOOD advice has been given!

Are you using a digital hygrometer? Has it been calibrated?

Are you referring to the veneer the manufacturers use in the boxes that we use for [color="red"]spliffs?[/color] If so, they are to thin to have any influence on humidity. You'd be better of using the box or even the blocks of cedar that come in so of the boxes for spacers.
Wow, Bob.
hock: I had no idea. :? Hey, it's cool.

if you want to lower your humidity usually all you have to do is leave the lid opened a little or use the 50/50 solution and not plain water.
