How often do you re-season your humidor?

I'm struggling to keep humidity in the mid to high 60's, and wondering if I need to re-season the old humi.

    Do you have beads in it? Personally I use a mixture of distilled water and propylene glycol....do a mixture of 50/50 and fill the humification device, keeps humidity levels perfect for me and the PG only needs to be recharged every 6 months...PG can be bought from pharmacy.

    Never gotta re-season if you keep the humidification device charged. If it's struggling to maintain RH, your seal is probably the problem; you could compensate by adding more humidification (like beads or such), or creating a better seal

    I've never re-seasoned, and haven't had reason to.

    If done properly the first time, and a good seal is maintained, you should never have to re-season. Just keep the humidifyer charged and you're good.

    I have never reseasoned. I use beads in mine. Just recharge them about once a month or so.

    I've never reseasoned and due to the wetter than normal weather here in Socal, I haven't even recharged my beads since November. As everyone said before, check the seal on your humi or if you think you messed up the seasoning the first time, reseason and just transfer everything into a tupperware. Preferably one that isn't currently being used to store food. Unless you like steak infused cigars.

    I'd bet you dollars to donuts that somewhere in the Drew Estates factory, Jonathan Drew has tried that. I'd want a fried egg and hashbrown infused cigar to go with that. :D

    I was having the same problem reseasoning every month rh would be fine for weeks then in a couple of days it would crash like a heart attack. I ended up going in my humi and finding all my bands getting loose. so before i went on vacation two weeks ago i but my proped open humi in my coolidore and all is good for now. I will be getting a new humi since mine obviously suck a$$. looking at an excuse to get a tower 3000 stick ummmm. I only have about 220 now but would love the room to taste more. so i feel your pain brother.
