New humidor

chrisaon

I am presently deployed in Afghanistan. My loving wife has bought me an Old World humidor, 100 count as a welcome home gift. I am new to all this and have no idea what to tell her to help out setting it up, seasoning, charging. She was also nice and picked out 100 CAO gold maduros. Not sure if those are any good or not. Not sure how long to wait to put the cigars in the humidor. Any suggestions?

Thank you for the help. I have passed it along to her. I have seen different things when it comes to charging the humidor. Some say to rub down the inside and others say let the wood soak it up naturally. Just dont want to screw this thing up...lol. we do have central air and live in South Bend, Indiana area( northern).

hahaha, I hope you like CAO gold Maduros too! 100 is A LOT of one cigar. But no biggie, you'll be the worlds expert on them. My point for posting is that a 100ct humidor, does not often hold 100 cigars. Humidors are sized by using the standard corona sized cigar. Most cigars made these days are a good deal larger than the classic corona. Plus you'll need a little room for the humidification devices and hygrometer and so on. So tell your wife not to stress it and that leaving a few of them in the ziploc with the humidity pillow provided by ccom is fine for a month or so.

As you can tell I am a newbie when it comes to cigars. Can anyone recommend a nice cigar? I tried the CAO Gold Maduro and it wasnt too bad. Better than some of the ones they sell in the BX here.
