Since I've gotten the Climmax Humidity Beads, I've not had any problems with excessive humidity since the beads are designed to absorb excess humidity. You can get them in either the 65% or 70% variety. Before I started using them, I would add a small cup of rice, any type, to absorb the excess humidity. I also have a friend that uses a dehumidifier in the room where his humidor is to help control the humidity since he lives at the Jersey shore.

I hope one of these suggestions work for you.

were to you keep your humidors, i live in south texas, on the water, our outside humidity, averages 90%, but inside my house is only 60%. if your humidor is in a controled enviroment, you should not be above 65- 75%.

Ok I am doing the 5th grades math with her right now ... # 19 was 36 and 2/3. Now you guys back to your corners or no tv for you either. ANd do I win a prise 🙂 !!!! ok back to math !

Watch_guy and Opatience same person?

I know from owning a house down the Jersey shore, LBI, that sometimes the sheets stick to you at night... and then there is that humidity problem. Not often, but sometimes.

0patience,
Dave is right on the money. Rice is a great moisture absorber.
I know from experience to put a few grains into salt sharkers to help prevent the moisture from clumping the salt. (Old Timers trick...)
I would suggest PLAIN WHITE rice, in a small container, just like a humidifier -- but a de-humidifier!

yep. after moving from beantown to the south, we had to start adding rice to the salt shakers. works like a charm to keep it from getting sticky.

also, you might check out those little packets that sometimes arrive with bottles of medicine/vitamins, shoes, etc. forget what they're called though...

Opatience,

I too am in a humid climate, (Houston). There are a couple of things you can do to lower the humidity. First an empty humidor is not a true indication of what will take place when you fill it, but actually beside the point.

Do you use PG solution? If you do and you've been mixing a 50/50 mixure, try changing it to 60/40 in favor of more PG. Use just enough to moisturize the humidifiers. If the humidity rises, the extra PG should allow you humifiers to absorb the excess moisture.
If that still doesn't get the results you desire, try adding cedar sheets or strips from cigar boxes to your humidor. I do this with all my humidors. I put a strip of cedar over the cigars that are directly under or next to the humidfiers.
I use a mixture of 65% PG to 35% distilled water in my Cuban humidor and it keeps a perfect 62-65%. 60% PG in my others maintains a 68%-70% in my non Cuban humidors.

Hope this helps,

Barry

Thanks guys.
I usually keep the humidors half full.
So I will try your suggestions and I appreciate the advice.
Sorry if it was a stupid question and I wasted everyone's time. Won't happen again.

No such thing as stupid questions when it comes to the concerns of keeping good cigars good, just silly answers.LOL
