Humidor problems
I seasoned it a couple years ago and now it will only stay around 40%... I have a Xikar Jar in it + a shot glass full of DI water... Any help would be appreciated.

Have you salt-tested your hygrometer?

If the shot glass of water has been in there awhile, it should be well over 40%. Definitely check your hygrometer calibration. Maybe even get another hygrometer to verify the reading.

The hygrometer is the cheap one that came with the humidor... Probably time to replace it with a digital one
