Ok, now I'm completely confused.

I salt tested the analog hygrometer from my humidor, and for comparison I grabbed the digital thermometer/hygrometer that my wife keeps in our living room and put it in the baggie too. Went to bed, checked it the next morning. The analog hygrometer didn't even move, still reading 68%, and the digital read 60%...?

So I'm fairly certain the hygrometer from my humidor is junk/broken. But why didn't the digital go to 75%? I may just nix both and buy a new one.

You did make a salt/water paste correct?

If the digital unit reads at 60, at least you know it's variance...but if you aren't intending on putting that particular unit into your humidor, I'd definitley recommend just buying a smal didgtal unit for humidor use only, salt testing THAT unit, writing down your variance, and calling it a day.
Better to be sure on RH in the grand scheme of things, I feel.

For breakfast, a cup of coffee & a Punch Punch (CC). For lunch, a Trinidad Robusto (NC). And for after dinner, a Montecristo Reserva Negra :)

Yes sir, used a plastic screw-on bottle cap and filled it with the salt/water. Made it a little wetter than a wet sand consistancy, but not quite as wet as a slurry.

I'm hoping to get to the cigar shop this weekend to get a new hygrometer.
