I put in two Drymistat tubes and two Boveda 72 packs today, so I'll see what that does. I'm starting to think that none of this stuff works as advertised. I'm really getting frustrated. Since I'm a newbie, I've got about 15 sticks, all different brands, that I need to keep in good condition until I can smoke them all and decide which are going to be my cigars of choice.

Cigars and humidors have not changed in the last decade, and there's a ton of information, tips, how to's, troubleshooting, and other great material in the cigar 101 discussion. Just use the search function and search.
There might also be a pinned thread in that one too about this subject.
Two rules of thumb if you're going to stick with wood humidors, which I highly recommend. Number one is that the best humidification device for your humidor is a full load of properly humidified cigars. Rule number two is that your cigars are more resilient and less affected by slight changes than your psyche.
Relax. They'll be fine.
One addendum to that that I've figured out in Las Vegas is that your humidor will sit at the humidity level that it chooses. I have a tower that runs in the low 60s. I have a desktop that runs in the high 60s. Doesn't matter what I do, that's where they stay. If your wooden box is staying at 63, just go with it.

Looking forward to spending sometime poking around the forums and trying new things. I still haven't figured out a true favorite but that's okay ill get there.

Welcome, Jim. I'm a noob here, too. Like you, I got out of it for a while, and now I'm getting back in. Though I do have some faves (anything by Olive, Diesel & MOW's).

Do not chase 70 rh. Your sticks will do much better 65-68. Use bovedas and leave em alone. Dont need no humid sticks, gels, foams etc.

I’ve been out of the game for quite some time now, seems as though my last post was in 2012 but I find myself on my third deployment now and have a group of guys that enjoy cigars. So, it’s rekindled a long lost relationship with the BOTL/SOTL.
Nonetheless, I’m back at it and am excited to relearn and see how things have changed (or not changed) over the years. I hope this finds everyone well and will try to be involved as much as time permits.
Welcome back @Lakota72 . Morning in Kuwait? That’s a long trip for a forum fiver. Kill some time and read the most recent three pages of discussions. Lots of shenanigans lately

Much appreciated. I remember some wild bombs being lobbed, dog turds being thrown at people, and even a custom humidor as shenanigans. It’ll be interesting to see if anything’s changed.
Newbie checking in! Trent. Glad to be here, tried to get into cigars like 5 years ago but kind of fell out. Just re-seasoned my humidor, got a good bead set up and I'm ready to fill it up. Excited to get back into it, learn, explore, and have fun!

No cedar necessary, unless you like the smell of cedar when you open it up.
FIFY
Only if you like the smell of wood. The bovedas will do all the work.

My crate smells great when I open it. I do have cigar boxes in there though, not just cigars.
