my new humi got in yesterday and im taking a different approach i wipe the side walls with very very little amount of dist water and put a shot glass inside with dist water and let it set for awhile
I know opinions vary on the subject but some humidor makers say NEVER wipe down the inside of your humidor. I guess that they think someone may really drench the box and cause damage. I have done it both ways and never damaged any of mine.. What I do though , is take a sheet of cedar from an old cigar box, wipe that down well, and set it in the humidor for about a day.
I keep it off the floor of the box, and it really cuts down on the seasoning time. Just another way to get the job done and get those stick to bed..
ive also found that a wide shallow bowl does a better job of quicker seasoning than a shot glass. more surface area means more evaporation. I had my last humi seasoned in about 24 hours
Dan and group ... scrap the beads, gels, etc. and get an electronic system such as Cigar Oasis. It will season the humidor ( I don't think any humidor is really "seasoned" in under two weeks) and provide years of worry free perfect 70% humidification. The good news is you can put your cigars in the humidor in a few days since the electronic system will maintain 70% even before the humidor is fully seasoned. Also, recovery is very rapid after you open/close the humidor. I have had two for a year now and will never go back. I have one that can use batteries for travel. It uses distilled water with no added chemicals such as propylene glycol and only needs to be refilled every 3 to 4 months (I open it once a day). Yeh, I know it's a hundred bucks but worth every penny if you are a perfectionist about humidification. For me, the beads, "wonder gels", etc. just don't work well as your digital hygrometer will prove.
as winter is coming my Humidor is holding at 68 to 70 like a champ. my 100 ct three draw two of them have sticks about 50 another 20 coming tomorrow .
my Q?
should I be think of reasoning for winter weather? of just keep adding water to the beads ?
Yes. Problem is i went a lil nuts (not any were near nuts to what I am sure some would call nuts) and ordered like 35 more sticks which will way more the fill 1 humidor.. So my dilima is to smoke a bunch fast or just order more.. Decisions decisions..lol
75% is too high for storage. But don't panic. If I were dealing with a 75% situation with a deasktop (as an example) I'd just leave the lid open for ten or twenty minutes while I removed the humidifiers that give off moisture. I'd close the lid and see if I get results in 12 or 24 hours. And keep checking every day to see what's going on and try and figure out my next move.

I would remove everything at first. Only leave the drawers open for twenty minutes or so. Then later when it becomes time to add humidifiers back in the humi I would ONLY add the bovedas and see what results that gets you.

To be clear, by "everything" I mean all of your humidification devices. Not the cigars
