with info from my friends, i have made my own humidifiers. all the humidors had calibrated hygrometers (remember they are factory + or - about 4% to 7%, including digital. after several months, i don't even look at the hygrometers very often. when i do, they are 69% to 72%.

I always thought hygrometers measured 'relative humidity'. What relative humidity means, is the warmer air is, the more water vapor it can "hold".

Relative humidity is a measure of the amount of water in the air, compared with the amount of water the air can hold at the temperature it happens to be when you measure it.

What does gravity have to do with it?

Gravity keeps the cigars in place and also keeps us from floating around like leaves in the wind! Remeber Issac Newton and the apple?!?!?! Ha Ha, couldn't pass that opportunity to get in a little jab! Charlie

Isaac who and what apple? How the hell did he manage to keep the apple lit? Or even light it in the first place? Were there people overbidding on his apples? Were horses killed because of the overbidding? Did he leave the cello on his apple? I could go on, you know, inquiring minds....

If a hydrometer was in the woods, with no one to see it, and it fell, would it still be effected by gravity?

Who can foresee the unforseen? How is that for double talk? However, if the apple fell and nobody saw it, would they have seen the squirrel that would take the apple back to his humidor and add it to his collection of fine vintage stuff? Charlie

Oh the apple that fell on Issac Newton's head, had a worm inside and the worm sued Sir Issac for wrongful interuption of his journey! Won 2.5 Million bucks! That would buy a lot of junk including a hydrometer or whatever it is! Charlie

Rick, if you're gonna split hairs then you should get your facts straight. True, the Hydrometer measures specific gravity, but what does Aristotle have to do with it?

It's all my fault !!!! But golly gee it's been a good time had by most. BTW - digital or not a good humi stocked with great cigars will automatically keep itself at proper H&T. I just like to have some modern day gizmos to tell me what my cigars tell me when I smoke one.

tailgator: i think you are refering to a stand up bass. we used to call them slap basses, like in "big noise from winnetka". i'm sure you remember that riff.

Are you talking Bob Crosby, or the more mellow Henry Mancini Orchestra? I love the drumming on the former.
