Question
Hi..I bought a new humidor.. its a 15-20ct..pretty small..I have set it up and I'm getting a reading of 67F and 71%RH. My question is..how do I make the humidity go down to atleast 67%RH? right now it stays constant at 71%RH? please let me know.

Answer
67F 71%RH is perfect!
If you want it to go down a little open the box, check humidity and if it too high for you, then blow around in the box for 5 or 10 seconds, circulating the air. I noticed a 2 or 3 % decrease in Humidity when I do this simple thing.

Enjoy
