How can I raise the humidity of my cigar humidor?
Question by Alexander: How can I raise the humidity of my cigar humidor?
The current readings are at 75F temperature and only 55% humidity. I need to raise the humidity to near 72% but below 75%. I am afraid my cigars are drying out. I poured propylene glycol distilled water solution in the humiditor apparatus (the sponge) and still the humidity did not raise.
The humidor is stored in a room temperature licing room away from windows. The heater is barely on so I doubt it is the temp in my home since the temp reading is perfect in the humidor.
**** The humidor is new! ****

You might need to buy another humidifier. Or, try increasing the amount of distilled water in the humidifier.

Relax and be patient… it takes time for the moisture level to stabilize… especially in a new humi.
Don’t try to make fast drastic changes in the humi. Even, slow, steady is the way to go. Most recommend “breaking in” a new humidor with no cigars in it for days.
