Diagnosis
We assess the seal, humidity system, and hygrometer so you know what is failing—and what it will take to fix it.
The Humidor Medic · Williamsport, PA
When the seal fails, your cigars pay for it.
We diagnose, restore, and maintain humidors—bringing the seal, humidity, and calibration back under control.

75
Calibrate before you trust the gauge.
For the salt test, place a bottle cap of damp salt in a sealed bag with the hygrometer for 24 hours. It should read 75% RH. Note the difference and adjust accordingly.
Check the seal
Close a dollar bill in the lid and pull gently. If it slides out with no resistance, the seal may be leaking.
Season patiently
Spanish cedar needs time. A new humidor should be seasoned before cigars go inside; rushing the process leads to unstable humidity.
Use distilled water
Tap-water minerals can clog humidification media and create unwanted buildup. Use distilled water when the system calls for water.
Recheck with the seasons
Indoor temperature and humidity shift throughout the year. Recheck your setup when the weather—or your heating and cooling—changes.
