help,
I got home today from work to check on my humidor and the humidity level was at 80%!! I am located in LI NY, and the weather has been above average with warm temps the past few days. But to jump from 70%-80%humidity?? seems odd to me. I did recently add a small box of sealed cubans in the humidor..would this have anything to do with it as well as the weather??

For now I am going to put my humidor in my basement where it is much cooler...

Any thoughts or suggestions out there are greatly appreciated!

thanks!

I allways get a rh spike when I introduce a new box into my humi bot 10% is alot. I also live in the north east and use hartfelt beads to absorb the extra rh it seems to work very well

I agree with Scott. Add a bunch of cigars and the humidity will spike until it levels off in a few days

whew, that eases my concerns..thanks!
just curious.. should i be worried about cigar beatles with the high humidity plus the fact that the new box are cubans??

If you can keep the temp below 72 you should not have any problems

I don't beleive that the high humidity will hatch beetles, I would more concerd about the temp getting above 72-73

Agree..You are more concerned about temperature with beetles. Anything 72 and under is probably okay.
