added more cigars to humi and the humidity dropped

[Ewan154]

Hi,
Added 10 more cigars to humi and the humidity dropped to about 64%

Before that the humidity was about 76%

is this ok?

[RobustoClubHavana]

76 is way to high
It will drop because u opened the humidor and also the cigars will need to adjust in side

sorry that should say 67% humidity.

I'm using a xikar humidifier and a boveda pack as well

[Simon G]

That should be fine
maybe the bovedas just need a bit of time to adjust themselves

As all above, it'll settle back down, don't worry.

So, how about whilst your tapping into advice on the forum, you take a few minutes to introduce yourself Ewan?

Hi,
Will do. Just very busy with work at the moe.

thanks for all the replies.

64 is fine humidity. I find if it's any higher, cigars get a bit 'wet' and dint burn well and need a lot of relights

I know that this is going to sound a bit dismissive but do t worry about it, those numbers are within a fairly close range of each other. If you want it to be steady I would suggest keeping it full or as full as possible and try not to leave it open too long.

As has been said its not so much of a fluctuation to be worried.

I added a Boveda 72% bag to the humidor as well as xikar humidifer. now the humidity gone up to 68%. silly question,but is that too much? should I take one of the humidifers out?

What humidity are you aiming for? If you have put a 72% Boveda in the humidor that will mean you're going to get 70% odd (assuming its a cedar, if its a tupperdor it will be 72%)

What humidity level is the Xikar?

If you're aiming for 65% you need to get a humidifier that reflects that

Hi,
The Xikar is a 70% humidity.

The humidity I'm aiming for is about 65% to 67% humidity.

Okay, assuming you have a cedar humidor (rather than tupperdor) you may want to consider going for a Boveda 69%, that should keep it at 67ish% I don't think you need both this a Xikar as they'll work against eachother

[tattooed]

hi,
taken out the Xikar.

is it ok to put Boveda bags on top of the cigars?
