Hygrometers

I'm looking for a good hygrometer to put in my ammodor. I trust my climax tubos, but not the box itself. What would you recommend? Is it worth it to get a digital hygrometer? Anybody have a spare lying around that we could trade for? I've actually got enough gars now to trade.

If you have the room, you can pick one up at Wallmart for about $15.

If you need something smaller, you can get a pen style at Bargain Humidors for $24.99

Why not?

They work and they are accurate. Apparently better than some more expensive ones.

Absolutely Mine works great and I would buy another one in a second An inexpensive digital that beats the crap out of any analog one I have ever had any experience with.

What SmoKerch said. At least one CWer that I've corresponded with has carefully checked out one of Wal-Mart's $15 digital hygrometer/thermometer units. The hygrometer function had salt-tested accuracy of +/- 2% RH, which equals or beats many of the MUCH more expensive units flogged by high-dollar retailers.

Just because you buy something at Wally World doesn't mean it's crap.

nah

my problem w/ the wal mart ones are the materials they are made out of. also, wal mart sells the very cheapest quality ones you can buy. surely you can go a few steps higher. for $15 its a good buy and yes it does a good job next to an analog that comes with most mass produced humidors--but do your self a favor and spend the extra...you do get what you pay for and for crying out loud...your cigars are worth it (i hope)! im only talking $25 here people...

and some analogs can be quite accurate! they are mainly used for asthetic reasons though.

He always does. I see a large crater where his mailbox once was in the future.
