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
