Just curious...if we can use a salt solution in order to calibrate hygrometers, what cant the same solution be used to balance and maintain the humidity in a humidor?

Salt/water solution is difficult to keep stable. Salt can absorb water vapor from air, and it can reduces the amount of water vapor that escapes water in salt/water solution. You cannot control humidity to a precise level like 65rh, because the behavior of the solution changes according how much water is in it. The more humidity the solution absorb, the less effective it is.
I use a twist off bottle cap and add water to get it just damp. Put the hygrometer and the small container
in a sealed container(I use ziplock bag). Leave it in for 24hrs. Your hygrometer should read 75% humidity.
You adjust the hygometer according to how far the calibration is off. X
I also use garlic powder, cumin and fresh ground pepper to season mine.
