I'm getting varying results even doing the dang salt test, from one day to the next. So far, I've not found a single analog one that I can trust, and my long-standing faith in all things digital is severely tested.

I'm back to relying on the finger-squeeze test... (Which is OK, but, then again, I have carpal-tunnel syndrome:-)

Anyone have any recomendations on a good hygrometer?

Thanks

I purchased a couple from a well know electronics store. They don't have to be perfect, just within a couple %.

Definitely go digital. Don't waste time with analog. The only thing their good for is making the humidor look fancy.

Don't waste your time with any of them.

Keep your humidifier primed (don't ever let it dry out) ... and that is all that is needed.

You will be able to tell if your cigars are doing well or not ... and a hygrometer won't help much with that, but give you a reading.

funny you should mention that. I have 4 humidors and 5 hygrometers. All of my humidors are holding constant humidity levels, but I always wondered what the heck I would do if a hygrometer showed me something funky. IE great information but I sometimes wonder if it is just data for the sake of date.

That said, I'll never have a humidor without one but I never claimed to be logical.

Slim- goota disagree with you on this one.. unless you are not particular about what RH your cigars are resting.. I think it depends alot on where you live

and the quality of your storage space..

Here in Michigan, I have to deal with seasonal temps that vary from -15 to 95 degrees and outside RH from

15 to 90. I must vary the volume of foam I use thru

out the year.. Looking to go to beads soon but I personally just like to monitor my babies..
