First let me say that I'm new to the cigar world. I just registered on this site and have been "studying" for just about the entire day.
I think you all have done a terrific job at answering common questions with very in-depth explanations. So much so, that it might prove difficult to get my post count high enough to be able to browse the members sale area... Anyway, back on topic.
Should a humidor be 100% airtight? In my reading, albeit not on this site, I read that a humidor should be able to exchange air so as not to accumulate mold.
Contrary to that point I've also read that they should be as airtight as possible, and the utilization of distilled water is what will keep the mold at bay.
Which is the correct thought here?
