That's a foolproof way to do it, so that's fine. You can also fill a shot glass or small bowl with distilled water and once the humidity stabilizies, remove that. What are you using for humidification(beads, gel, boveda packs, round puck) and hygrometer (measures humidity and temperature)? The experts will weigh in on this soon too.
What model is it? Seasoning packets are a pretty good hassle-free way, I have never used one to season one of mine. Normally I wipe it down lightly with distilled water 3x a day(around 8hours apart, before work, after work, before bed) for 2-3 days and put a shot glass in there full of distilled water as well. Once the humidity hits 75% or so I put the sticks in and they usually drop it down into the high 60s. Then take the shot glass out and get a regular Boveda packet that keeps the humidity at your preference(65, 69, etc)
I bought the Southport Large (120 cap) and a can of the gel from ccom. gonna hit my local B&M so I can put my hands on the various types of Hygrometers .
I just lightly wipped mine down once with des tilled water put my humidifier and a wide whiskey glass with a little destilled water in there. I figured a wider glass would work faster. Took about 5 days and was good to go.
Just checked the tracking on my humi. Delivered and waiting for me to get home. Gotta stop and pick up some distilled water and get that badboy to seasoning.

yea... and then it getting filled and HAVING to make plans for a cooler! Congrats dire!
youre not keeping those 3 in there while seasoning, right? Even after seasoning, its not safe to have just 3 in that large box. When you open the box, the humidity leaves, and the air regains the humidity by taking from the humidifier, wood, and the sticks. Thats why its more stable with many cigars.

Nothing being kept in there right now. Thanks for the heads up on needing to keep a good amount of sticks in it. What would be a good minimum number?
Half is good, 3/4 is better best is when there's just enough room to close the lid. I started with a 50 count and 10 sticks , worked ok but at the time I had the foam puck so I was always tweaking it.
If you come out to the show next saturday (dec 3rd), then I'll help fill that humi ;-) *muwahahaha hahha muwahahah* *cough cough* Youre still here? I just remembered a funny joke, thats all.
