Have any of you with a Cigar Oasis XL Plus checked it's hygrometer with a digital one?
I have both in my 300 cigar humidor, and for the last three months, the Cigar Oasis has read 73%. The digital hygrometer right next to it reads 65%. I placed another digital (same brand - Radio Shack, about $20), and it read around 67%.
Cigars are fine, but if I had to guess, more on the dry, than wet side.
8%, if true, is a little more 'tolerance' than I think I should have to put up with, in my opinion. The two digitals are about four years old with new batteries. Can they simply "wear out" over time?
Any one else had a similar experience?
Thanks!
