So I bought one of my humidors on sale (online) from famous smoke last winter. For the price it appears to be a pretty decent quality glass top humidor, holds 50 or so. I prepped it properly, even re-calibrated the junk analog hygrometer it came with, but the cigars seem to dry out a lot faster than they did in my old humidor (which was a small bare bones cheapo from Tinder Box).
I'm recharging the humidifier every few days even though the hygrometer stays pretty constant, it has always read between 68 and 75 (which I'm sure isn't very accurate) but even when it reads high, the new cigars I'm putting in seem a bit overly dry/firm after just 3-4 days in the humidor. It has been this way ever since I bought it, even after re-prepping and trying whatever other tips I found online.
So am I a complete idiot, or is it just a junk humidor? Where should I buy one at? I'm not looking to spend much.
