I purchased a cuban elegance humidor aprox. a year ago. But in the last 1 to 2 months I have been unable to maintain 70% humidity. The humidity is staying at 60%, and the humidifier is moist. What can I do to get the humidity back up to 70%?

A common problem which can offset the humidity is where you keep the humidor. If the humidor is placed in a dry room or in an area with a lot of light exposure this can be the cause. But a quick and easy solution is to go to the hardware store and pick up some thin weather stripping and line the door (interior). This will create a stronger seal and should stabilize your moisture loss.

 

Good Luck

This can be caused by many factors. If the humidor is placed in direct sunlight it can cause this. Obviously it was working fine and something changed to make it deviate from where the humidity needs to be. One common reason is the overuse of

humidor solution. If you in fact used humidor solution more than once every 3 months or so, then you may have rendered your humidifier useless and the propolyne glycol will build up and not allow the water in the humidor to dissipate properly. If that is the case, call the store you bought it from and replace the humidifier. That should resolve the problem. Otherwise call Cuban Crafters, the manufacturer, and trouble shoot it with the customer service department. Humidor solution is very usefull if used properly. Always follow the instructions on the bottle. You should only use it when you initially activate the humidor and then every 3 months or so thereafter. Every other time only use distilled water to keep you humidity at the perfect level.
