What type of Hygrometer do you use?

[RHNewfie]

Digital, not sure what brand.

65% beads. No need for a hygrometer, but I have a $10 digital that I move from humi to humi once in a while just for shits and giggles.

Right there with ya brotha!!

Western Caliber III, I swear by them. I have 65% beads and a vinotemp. Thwy always read dead on and all five read the same..

I know people always hate on the analogs, but I still use the one that came inside my Bally IV. I borrowed a friend's digital for two weeks just to verify accuracy and it was exactly dead on no matter what I did with it. Even when removing it and placing it in different environments.

I gave back the digital and saved myself $25 for more cigars

Better have that Hygro sealed in Lucite, it's one in a million. :wink:

You are talking about a straight analog, not one of the newer digital analogs? If so, you really do have a rarity. If you are one that likes to know their hygro is reading true I would be sure to check it at least every six months just like a digital. I would never trust an analog to stay true, but I wish you the best of luck!

I don't even know what a Digital analog is (sounds like an oxymoron to me!) so I doubt it's that. Just the basic cheap thing in the front of the humidor. I was surprised it was so accurate. That being said, I'll still invest in a digital down the road just to make sure I don't end up ruining good cigars if the needle gets stuck or something.

Digital Analog is a digital hygrometer that reads like an analog. Think the digital speedometers or tachometers that the 80's Vettes had.

Combination of digital adjustable and regular digital. Salt test calibrated, all fairly accurate now.
