I've been using Humi-care jars in my Locker, thanks to TG's advice and they're working great. It stays between 62-65% and the same with my 100ct desk top.

Do you mean you need a humidifier system? X-large hygrometer does not make any sense. Anyway, I think you need a bigger humi, that will be filled up in like 2 days.

From my limited experience, humidors capacity are rated for small size cigars. For example, if it says 150 cigar capacity, it mean it is UP TO 150 cigars, which mean you have to use mini cigars to fit that many. If you use normal size cigars like robusto and churchil, the capacity is cut in half.

I have two desktop humidors that are rate for 200, but I cannot fit more than 100. If I remove the tray, I will be able to squeeze another 20 or so.

"a large 100 cigar hygrometer or x-large 200 cigar? "

I don't understand your question. A hygrometer is a hygrometer. There is no large or small hygrometer. They all do the same job; humidity and temp. reading.

If you meant to say humidifier, then go with beads or gel. The work best for desktop humidor.

I'm thinking a 100 cigar humidifier should be good enough

A half a pound of 65% beads is all you need. No muss, no fuss. Don't over think it. Just do yourself a favor and go to that place with the 'hearts' and get a half pound of beads already in a little holder. Add distilled water, place in humi (anywhere) and close lid.

Don't forget to season the humi first before filling.

=====================================================

Why don't YOU just fill the damn thing with cigars & see how many it holds, may vary of the size of cigars, why lose sleep & carry on like a child over this !?!

Unless of course, you are seeking ' attention ', if so carry on.

If you are using the DCO humidifer and all you were wondering on what size to get, just get the 200 ct ones, since the DCO has a sliding vent cover to control the release of humidity.
