There was a thread a while back where a decent digital hygrometer was listed. Around 30$. I can't find the old thread. Anyone have any recommendations?

I got that one from Lee Valley (it's a dial analogue style though) it's $11.20 and can be calibrated, which I do twice a year. I had a digital one and it was generally way off the analogue one.

I'd look at cigar shops around town if you want a decent one.

I've been using Caliber III --the 2 I've tested (against a $200 sensor) were quite good between about 35% and 70%. They both read drier than actual below 35%, but I've not been worried about that.
