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 have any cigars in it as I smoked my last two and have a few more coming for Christmas but until then there is nothing in the Humidor.
This meant my humidipaks were working harder as well and they have dried out, but I know that they can be recharged by using distilled water and placing them in a ziplock bag.
So my question now is, if I remove both humidpaks to re-charge them which may take a week or so, though I have no cigars currently that will get ruined,
will I need to re-season my humidor since it will be sitting empty with no help and likely drop a lot in percentage?
Or is it a very bad idea to leave it for the week while my packs charge without any form of humidification even though I have no cigars in it?
I can go buy two more packs if need be and run them instead so it doesn't drop, then recharge these and swap them with the other dry out.
However it would be cheaper if I can just re-use these ones now and not have to buy two more.
Thanks for the help, sorry I am pretty new to this and didn't want to do this if it means leaving my humidor in bad shape so I thought I would seek advice.
