Xikar Digital Hygrometers: Accurately monitor the humidity and heat in your humidor to ensure your cigars are well cared for and always in perfect condition ready for that special occasion.

Xikar is one of the worlds leading brands in smoking accessories and their digital hygrometer is the hygrometer of choice for The Black Swan Shoppe. We have chosen these for our humidors as over the years they have proved themselves time and time again for accuracy and reliability. They are also more or less maintenance free (apart from changing the battery once every couple of years)

Hygrometer Calibration XIKAR hygrometers can be calibrated for accurate readings using the salt test calibration method. To calibrate, fill a plastic soda cap with plain table salt. Add enough water to make the salt wet, but not so much that water stands on top of the salt. Place a zip lock bag on a flat surface. Place the cap inside the bag with the hygrometer. Seal the bag and wait 4 hours. Through the bag, push and hold the calibrate button until the hygrometer resets itself to 75%. Once it has reset, remove from the zip lock bag. Your hygrometer is now calibrated.

Re-calibrate using the salt-test method anytime. However, before each calibration, it will be necessary to remove and reinsert the battery, which allows the unit to reset.

This unit will read humidity in the range of 20% to 95%. Should the relative humidity be outside this range, the unit will show two dashes (- -). This simply means the humidity is outside the readable range. This unit will read humidity most accurately in the 60-80% range.
