Do you change your humidor rh% on winter vs summer due to ambient humidity and weather?

I recently bought the Ambient Weather WS-0101-COMBO-KIT kit which is basically their WS-0101 wireless weather station with three remote temp/hygrometers included. It's a no-frills receiver, basically just gives you time and temp, then you can cycle through the three remote receivers to get...

I am wondering if some wrappers are more prone to ambient humidity than others. All my cigars go into my humi (65% rh) for a couple of weeks before I smoke them. Here in Houston the rh is in the 80s. Tonight I chose a Torana Noventa to smoke (I smoke outside) and I could not get it to hit. It...

I am getting fairly good at squeezing my stick to tell if it is about firm enough for smoking. You know, checking the juiciness. *HA*HA* So now if you will get your mind out of the gutter... A beautiful J Fuego delirium was my choice for tonight. When I gave it the squeeze and draw test it...

Maybe I'm overthiking this now, but I'm curious how other people handle it. I'm using wooden cigar boxes to store my singles. The wine cooler is humidified with 65% beads and an oust fan pointed at the cooling plate. here is the question. Do I require further humdification devices inside the...

I didn't know quite where to post this (none of the other boards seem to fit this particular question) .... Anyway, I was wondering whether it will do to leave a couple of boxes of newly-arrived MC's "out and about" so to speak. We've had a particularly rainy few days here in Vancouver and the...
