Great advice already and I have a 100 count humidor myself. I seasoned it before I found the forum here and actually found some great videos on Youtube for the steps involved. Also, as already stated definitely get rid of the foam humidifier that came with the humidor. I use gel jars in mine and have two of the 2oz ones and in the 50 count you have I would imagine a single 2oz jar would be plenty if you decide to go that route. Gel jars, Boveda packets, Drymistat tubes and beads are all options you could go with. Welcome to the forum and enjoy the ride.

I, too, just seasoned my first humidor recently, and can offer some advice. PM if you want more info.

Use the devider to seperate mild sticks from the full sticks, though if theyre in cello this isn't much of an issue. You don't need to worry bout seperating the humidifier from your stick. I keep my humidifiers laying on top of my sticks mainly so I don't have to disturb them when I add water.

I learned the hard way on replacing the humidification disc ASAP. My disc had mold within the first 2 weeks. I was fortunate enough to catch it early. The Boveda packs or some of the gel cups are the best IMO. Some of the guys on here swear by beads. I also don't see a problem wiping down the humi with a light touch of distilled water. Just enough to get the wood shaving residue off of the inside. It will speed up the seasoning a tad and clean up the humi.

In my 100 qt. cooler, I have bags of beads in all 4 corners, and one bag on top of the stack of boxes in the middle. In my 100 ct. desktop style humidor, I have a bag of beads, and a tube of beads, both on the right side of the humidor, on the other side of a divider, so my sticks stay nice and neatly piled up, despite the awkward shape of the tube and baggy. I've never had any problems with the fact that some sticks are further away. The reality is that as long as you have a well maintained source of humidity, unless you have a big cabinet, or a walk in, you probably aren't humidifying a space large enough for placement to make a big difference.
