So I chose not to buy a used humidor and I got of as a Christmas gift! The lid is very tight. I need to grip it really hard to open the box and even from behind the box to open it. This is even without seasoning the box. What will happen when I go to season it? Will not moisture expand the...

Alright guys well the bug hit me hard already and after finding about sites like cigar bid I realize I quickly am already outgrowing my 150t I started out with here. Anyways I am having a hell of a time keeping the RH correct, right now with only 50 sticks or so in my box with 69RH the RH is...

I have a 75 cigar capacity humidor and a 25 cigar capacity humidor. I only ordered 4 84% Boveda seasoning packs instead of 5 like I ment to. The 25 cig cap. humidor is the Cuban humidor, My Cuban humidor is alittle more than over stocked and only in the teens in my 75 cig capacity one (the 25...

Good morning, I have recently decided to start smoking cigars again (great choice), but the 50t humidor my wife bought me many years ago had aromatic pipe tobacco stored in it along with my cigars. After airing out the humidor and putting kitty litter in it to remove the pipe tobacco smell, I...

I am new to cigars within the last couple of months and my wife bought me a 25 count humidor and some cigars for my birthday. I researched and found out how to season my humidifier, got it working correctly and keep it around 69% using Boveda Humidipaks. My question now is, I currently don't...

I Just purchased a 300 ct humidor Friday. I started the seasoning process then, I don't have any cigars to put in this humidor yet. Thats why I'm asking for advise, I have read so many forums and discussions about the seasoning process that I don't know what to believe. I don't really care how...

Hey everyone! I have been reading the forums for a little while now and I finally decided to formally join the community! I am very new to the cigar world and today I received my first humidor! I have looked over Herf-n-Terf's sticky thread about seasoning the humidor, but I have some more...

Hi, I had been seasoning my humidor for the last two weeks and yesterday I felt it was time to put my two new cigar boxes in it. Humidity was stable at 70%. My two boxes of cigars had been stored in a temporary coolidor at around 65-70% humidity for two weeks. After putting the boxes in the...

Hi, I got a new humidor (80-100 count) and I'm in the process of seasoning it. I didn't wipe it with a damp cloth or anything. I wanted to go with the shot glass of distilled water way (even if it takes a little bit longer). It's been about 6 days and the humidity is only at 57%. Hygrometer...

I started seasoning my humidor on Friday at 4 after I thought my hygrometer was calibrated. Well, turns out I screwed up the calibration because I added too much water to the salt. So, before, I had left my humidor closed with a full humidifier puck and a shot glass of water without wiping down...

Afternoon everyone, After much research within the forums, I'm getting mixed results on what to use for humidification / the issue with steady humidification. I've purchased a Bally 2 Humidor (13.5" W x 10" D x 6.5" H) which takes 100 cigars, purchased back in 2010. I ran this Humidor seasoning...

I threw up the thread about my humidification device, but I think the problem might actually come down to my bungling of the seasoning process. I did the dw soaked sponge in the tray with my humidification device method. However, I left it there too long. I was told that it would be a couple...

At 12:00pm today.. I used a new sponge(damp not dripping of DW) and wiped down the whole thing(box, tray, dividers.. etc) dropped in a calibrated hygro-thermometer and a plastic bag with a damp sponge on the floor of it and the reading as of right nowand on the top of every hour is 76* for...

So, as most of you know by now, I'm in Iraq. I get tired of telling folks that it can't be done. How do I season a new humi without access to distilled water? Any other military folks on here that know where I can get DW on base? For example, "Go over to the motorpool...all batteries have...

Found a small Don Salvatore humidor at a thrift shop for $3. Took it home and checked it out. No obvious problems, tight lid, hinges OK, no stains or foul oders. Put a calibrated hygrometer in the box and let sit 24 hours. RH was 82. Understand that that has been the rh here in south Florida...

Getting another humidor but with the high temps and humidity, whats the best way to season? Do I still need sponge with distilled h2o to season the wood or is the humidity in the air enough???

I bought a new humi from the cheaphumidors website. Its a 75 -100 count humi, i am following the seasoning instructions to a letter from the site. Here as follows... <<Re-humidifying your humidor is easy, just follow these simple steps: Place a shallow container filled with distilled water in...

In virtually all of the humidor seasoning threads I've read, it is suggested that you must use distilled water in the shot glass or on the sponge placed on a dish. I could understand why you wouldn't use tap water in the humidor foam filter, beads, or by wiping down the inside of the box. But...

So I am following the bible of seasoning instructions on my new Waxingmoon humidor. I put a plate in there with a sponge doused in distilled water last night around 6pm. Checked this morning (7am) and it was 70 degrees and 76% humidity. Thought it was on its way (the bible says his was up to...
