I've taken the digital hydrometer out and put it together with two others, just as a sanity check.
The three hydrometers have been placed together for 6-7 hours; and is now showing 44%, 43% and 44%... Let you know when I have done the salt test, just need to get my hands on some distilled water.
In the meantime I thing I'll just add another Boveda pack and see if the humidity slowly increases.

No wrappers is cracked, but some of them so sound a little more crispy then I'm used to. Been a while since I've smoked one now...
QuoteI wouldn't be suprised if its cold to see that your levels are really that low. During the winter months, where humidity is almost zero in my house, I use 3 72% boveda packs as well as a Xikar gel jar just to keep them around 67-68%.
The humidor is placed in my home office, where we also dry our clothes. So room humidity is normally between 35%-45%.
