Dropping moisture level, rel. humdity

Once the humidor has been run in, the humidity can drop again.
There are two scenarios here.

Empty humidor: Humidification in a humidor is always designed for a certain degree of filling. This is usually around 50%. Cigars act as a buffer and reduce the air volume. If no cigars are stored, the humidity will gradually drop again.

Cigars have been stored in the humidor: Many cigars are commercially conditioned at approx. 60-65%. These values are ideal for long-term storage and are unproblematic during transport or in the event of fluctuations that may occur during distribution. Stored in the humidor, where the user usually aims for approx. 70% humidity, the cigars first absorb water. In doing so, they draw moisture from the air in the humidor. This can result in a drop in the relative humidity in the humidor.
This is normal. The level can be raised further with an additional source of humidification. This is not necessary or advisable: excessive fluctuations in humidity affecting the cigars can lead to cracked wrapper leaves. The moisture content in the cigar and its surroundings can become too high. The tension may then appear on the wrapper leaf in the form of cracks. Gentle humidification is therefore always beneficial. Our humidors are equipped with humidifiers to ensure gentle and sufficient humidification.
