I use different hygrometers to get confused by all the different readings and have to look at the adjustment numbers.

Different hygrometers will have different variances at different RH, example one might show:
71% at 70%RH
68% at 65%RH
61% at 62%RH

Bung a 65% in a sealed lock n lock and forget about it (apart from maybe temp variations...)

Boveda Butler is quite nice, does two jobs and nice to check via app.
Downside is price.

For now I'll trust the Boveda to do its job [emoji6]

If I was thinking of getting hygrometer what are the best options? I won't be doing this now, but always good to have it on the wishlist.

I don't even bother with a hygrometer in some of mine

Yeah, if nothing else a thermometer, but again really not a necessity if the tup & Boveda is stored in the right spot.

Completely agree. A Boveda and a tupperware box is pretty bomb proof. I don't even bother with a hygrometer in some of mine

It’ll be fine. A full humidor holds humidity far better than an empty one though....

Whatever you do.... But the biggest one you can afford as I promise that you'll fill a desktop in no time. Ask anyone on this forum..... We've all been there

Haha yes, I've been reading some of the stories on here with people starting with a desktop humidor and a few pages later they've progressed to buying 2/3 monster humidors [emoji23][emoji1303]

If this first batch is a success I have no doubt I'll purchase a humidifier and then be on a hunt to fill it as soon as possible haha

I wouldn?t get too focused on thinking you need an actual humidor other than looking nice there?s no real advantage over Tupperware and a decent humi buys a fair few smokes!

That's a good point. I think I'll get a bigger Tupperware and try more smokes instead.

If things get serious I'll invest in something a bit bigger.

Depends on what you want to fit in it

Only a few small cigars for now. If things get serious I'll invest in something a bit bigger.

I was a little more concerned about it becoming too humid due to the lack of space. I guess the Boveda does a good job even in smaller spaces.
