Coolidor Hygrometer

I set up our first coolidor project with 2 types of hygrometers. Just in case we have a newbie reading this post, a hygrometer reads the humidity in your coolidor.

some advice, use a digital hygrometer instead of an analog type. Also, recalibratable hygrometers are available at very low prices these days. What I paid $100 for about 7 years ago can be purchased for about $25. There is no need to be stuck with an inaccurate hygrometer when the best is available at such a low price.

As I said, I set up the coolidor with 2 hygrometers. First is a recalibratable hygrometer. I attached it inside the lid of the coolidor. I like the lid location because it will not get in the way of my cigars. Also, whan I open the door (lid), its easy to see.

I also am using a remote hygrometer. A small humidity sensor goes inside of of the coolidor. The main display sits outside of the coolidor. I like this setup because I do not have to open the igloodor to keep track of the humidity level inside of the coolidor.

I really like this 2 hygrometer setup because now I have 2 independent hygrometers keeping track of my cigars. I dont have to open the coolidor to check the humidity, and when I do open the coolidor, I have another hygrometer inside to verify that my humidity levels are perfect.

I didn’t go into great detail on hygrometers in this article. Look for an upcoming article witrh more in depth explanations and reviews of cigar hygrometers, and also a hygrometer reclaibration “how to”
