No. The constant movement of air is critical to the proper storage and care of cigars or else it will create a condition which can promote the growth of mold. Even a humidor that is kept at 69-72% humidity level can grow mold very quickly and destroy your cigars. A good, high quality humidor with dried kiln Spanish cedar wood have an exchange of air as it needs to be as the lining is made of a porous material.

In short, a calibration kit is used mostly for analog hygrometers and works the same way as the “salt test”. The kit utilizes a relative humidity standard of approximately 75%.

Afterwards, the analog hygrometer will be calibrated and will read properly the humidity level within the humidor.
