Cigars/Humidity is too high in humidor

Advertisement


Question
I recently got a new humidor and properly seasoned it. I am using a regular sponge humidifier with propylene glycol and a 2 oz crystal gel humidification jar. However, my humidity is constantly high. What would be the causes for the humidity to be high and what can I do to lower it to a preferred 70%.

Answer
Take out the jar and get rid of it please.
When humidity is high take out the humidification sponge completely and put it back in when the humidity is around 67%.
You Tube "Mike Paradise Cigars" for videos on the subject please.
Ask more questions if they come up as I am always available.

Enjoy
Mike
