Not normal - never even heard of that before. If you bought the humidor from a reputable dealer, the spanish cedar is always kiln-dried, so the only source of the oil could be is the cup you used

I would agree. To be honest I hate breaking in new humi's.
i wouldnt use it because if the oil comes in contact with any of your sticks it may ruin them. wipe down the inside of your humi and then i would try reseasoning it with a shot glass or a boveda seasoning kit.
Well I just wiped down the affected area with some distilled water ( lightly of course ). Will see how this goes. Also thinking about getting some sheets of cedar that the shop has and placing one over the stains. I just want to use my humidor already!!!!! Lol. Been having to use my little 15 count and making sure the different cigs don't touch.
Think I figured out what caused the stains..........cooking oil.
I currently have three shot glasses of distilled water in there to speed up the humidification process. Hopefully any oil left will collect in the shot glasses. If nothing collects then I think I should be ok. If it does then I will continue the process until nothing is left. Then again I could be completely wrong and my humidor is screwed, lol.
Oil and water do not mix. Oil will not collect in the shot glasses. I would start over. Wood will soak up the oil. If it were me, I wouldn't use it. I would not want cooking oil on my sticks. Just be more careful on the next one.
I decided to give the humidor to my girl. No reason to take chances with my cigs. Will just get another one and be more careful. Thanks for your input all.
