So over here in Southern California we had an unusually humid summer and the usual heat. This last week the weather seemed to decide once and for all to cool down and dry up. And it's been very noticeable in the humidors, across the board they're too dry now. I made sure the beads and boveda were charged, etc as a first move and didn't see much change. Then I added a water pillow here and there as usually it just takes a small adjustment to bring things back. I've now temporarily put in some sponge humidifiers with cigar juice as a way to boost the available moisture in the humidors, and that seems to be gradually raising the humidity back up.
My question is: is this a common occurrence when a definable permanent change in weather happens and do you guys bother with compensating the humidity or does it just take some time (like a week or soemthing) for the humidors to acclimate? Just wondering if I'm too jumpy or doing the right thing by attacking it when I see it.
Thanks.
