Newbie, humidor problems

[HumTex]

Hello everyone, just online for the first time. I am from the Houston, TX area. I have been smoking cigars for about 15 years.
Found the BOTL on the search engine. Enjoy good cigars, life is too short for cheap cigars.
I have a problem with my Savoy Humidor that is about 3 years old. It no longer keeps the humidity around 70 unless I put a bowl of water with a paper towel. Is there a place I can replace my filter that uses the distilled water.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Keyboard cannot spell.

I would suggest checking into www.heartfeltindustries.com and get some 70% beads. Much better than anything else IMO.

:welcome:

What's the current RH reading? You will discover that a lot of people keep their humidors anywhere from 63-66%...myself included.

Oh, and welcome aboard!

What Todd said! Since I started using beads, I don't even use hygrometers in my humidors/cooler. They are THAT reliable.


And Welcome to BOTL!

I will check out heartfelt industries. At present my reading is 60.

Also, one other quick thing...you've been smoking cigars for quite some time so I'm sure you've covered this, but have you checked your hygrometer lately? Are you using a digital? Either way, the beads are the way to go.

And :welcome: to another JW. :rofl:
