Buddy came to with a problem i cannot answer, so i look here to the all knowing forum members.

he has a 150 count humi with 3 drawers, each drawer reads a different humidity on the same hygrometer.

this is the humidor he has:

http://cgi.ebay.com/PALERMO-Three-Drawer-150-CIGAR-HUMIDOR-Mahogany-/320672182807?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aa98d3217 

lower drawer reads like 62-ish. middle drawer reads 65-ish and the top reads 70. i recalibrated his hygrometer with 1 of those humipaks, so i know his hygrometer is working fine.

All that being said,

is this normal

are his cigars ok, they seem to smoke fine...as i had to test 1 out...lol

besides getting a new humi (bought by his gf, sentimental reason wont get rid of it) what can he do to improve his humidor and make sure his sticks are ok.

thanks guys=d>

My purely unprofessional thought would be no problem at all. I have three hygro's in my TOP and they are calibrated and read different all the time.

Something that someone may ask is what using for humidity and where is it kept?

Sounds like a circulation issue.

Just put Maduros on the bottom

Tell him to put the Hyg in the Middle drawer and call it an average but I see no issues with the readings you are talking about I usually keep mine around 65 anyhow

David,

That's the box that I smoke out of. It s*cks at holding humidity and has to be recharged often. That's just the nature of the beast, and I wouldn't buy a drawer type again.

BTW, mine came from CI, and with shipping, CI is cheaper then that Flea Bay ad that you posted, which I'm not mistaken IS A COMPETITOR'S REFERANCE on your part.

Sounds like you need to get your a$$ down to BOB (the Big Orange Box) and buy yerself a tube of DAP to fix the crappy seal on that no good humidor.

OTOH you could salt test your hygrometers (just sayin!)
