Oh yeah we should talk about Cigars - Jam Day Tomorrow! Maybe? Does it matter? Probably the latter I guess.
I inquired about the Don Salvatore hygrometer earlier, but either no one else has one or no one gives a rat's ass. No matter.
Haven't used one but any of the digital hygrometers we use are still incredibly cheap instruments given the accuracy of the information we want to get out of them. Outside of spending an incredible amount of money on a truly accurate hygrometer, I would guess it's as accurate as any other digital hygrometer on the market in this price range. So it's of course going to be better than any of the piece of garbage analog hygrometers out there but still, it's a low end digital version that looks better than anything put out by hygroset. I'm sure aesthetics are built in to that price. What is it's margin of error? How accurate is it? If it's within 2%, it's really no different than anything else sold from Famous or CI or wherever.
My personal favorites of all I've used are the ones by Xikar. I like the one button calibration which the Don Salvatore also appears to have. I hate that dumb dial on the hygrosets.
I also dislike the "ideal" markings of 70% rh since I feel "ideal" is whatever you prefer and also should be relative to ambient humidity where you live. I keep mine a bit drier since our humidity levels here are so low. My cigars don't burn as well the more humid they're kept.
So there's an opinion for ya but it's only that. I haven't actually used the Don Salvatore hygrometer.
