Not sure if this is the right place but I purchased a Humidimeter by Cigars Medics (actually 2) and I was wondering if anyone else uses them and/or would be able to share anything about it's usefulness, how it works, etc.
One does not really NEED this device but I find that it is great for identifying overly humidified sticks (over 70%RH) and have found that cigars generally smoke very well when the reading is between 55-65% RH.
Does anybody know how it works, i.e. what it is actually measuring? Is it reading the water content of a solid (tobacco) and converting to a RH value or is it measuring the RH of the air inside the cigar? I have heard it is measuring water content and converting to RH but I would be interested to hear anything you folks have to say about this.
Thanks!
