My 1st Humidor Is here!
Ok fellas, my very first humidor has finally made it. This is what I have so far...
100 count 5 Vegas Humidor
65% Large Heartfelt Beads (tube)
Caliber III Digital Humidity Temperature Gauge
Humidipak One-Step Calibration Kit
I will go buy a sponge and distilled water after work and then follow the steps of seasoning it. Do I need anything else? Also have a question, since I got a 100 ct humidor, and I have like 20 sticks, is that going to make it hard for me to hold the humidity at what I want? Should I buy more sticks?

You will want to be careful if you are using the "wipe-down" technique to season your humidor, as you can easily warp the wood. An alternative is to set a shallow dish of distilled water in the humidor and let it sit for a few days.
As for keeping your humidity up, you will have an easier time if the humidor is at least 75% full, so that's a perfect excuse to get more sticks.
And a fuller humidor will hold more humidity, simply because more cigars will hold more moisture.
The best advice I can give is be patient, and do not try to rush the seasoning process, bud.
But I am doing it the way you mentioned.
Well see, I've been able to sneek by the wife with all these new purchases and even a DD from here, she is fine with that, but I dont know how many cigars I can buy, since I just bought a new house and put down like $60K, with all new furniture and tons of bills now.....
Thats why I'm asking about the cigar count issue
I will fill up what I have now and just see how the % holds up, if its not, then I will get some more sticks
If you mean just the humidor, I posted a picture on page 2.
Thanks bro!
