Cigars/my humidification device

Question
I just got a cigar oasis ultra for christmas for my humidor. I live in arizona and I set it for 70% rh. I was wondering if my temerature in the humidor goes up 2 degrees to 72 does it give too much humidity or does the device adjust to the temperatures to maintain the 70 rh
Hi Roger,
Don't worry, a humidor temperature of 72 degrees will not affect your humidor environment or endanger your cigars. Your Cigar Oasis Ultra will also automatically adjust the humidity level so if your humidor's humidity level increases due to the temperature, your Cigar Oasis will correct the humidity by lowering its humidity output so that your humidor's interior humidity level matches 70% rh.
Hopes this answers your question. As always, if you have any more questions, please feel free to just ask and I will be happy to help.
Regards,
James

Expertise
My main area of expertise is Cuban cigars but I can also assist you with cigar etiquette, humidor maintenance and troubleshooting. Unsure of a certain cigar brand? Wondering what a certain cigar tastes like? Have any questions about Cuban cigars? Just let me know! I have smoked every brand of Cuban cigars and most reputable non-Cuban cigar brands on a regular basis so I know a fair bit about taste profiles, cigar etiquette and other fine nuances to cigar smoking. (NOTE: My main focus is on premium, hand-rolled cigars and not cheap, machine made, convenience store cigars.) IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT PROVIDE CIGAR OR CIGAR-RELATED APPRAISALS. If you have a vintage cigar item and you want to know if it's worth something, please contact an antique dealer that specializes in "TOBACCIANA".
Experience
I currently have 19 dedicated years of cigar smoking and counting. I have smoked every brand of Cuban cigars and most reputable non-Cuban cigar brands on a regular basis so I know a fair bit about taste profiles, cigar etiquette and other fine nuances to cigar smoking. For 5 years, I studied with Cuban torcedores (rollers), catadores (taste testers) and revisadores (inspectors) on every aspect involving the production of the Cuban cigar and I am currently writing a book that will help beginners understand everything they need to know about cigars and cigar smoking.
