Humidor Setup

Rain

First of all, let me thank everyone everything I've learned reading through the forums. I recently returned from Afghanistan, where every night some of the people I lived with would some cigars. Several times I joined them, and when I returned home I found that I missed the camaraderie (as well as the time away from my wife =P). I ordered a few cigars and a humidor from cigar.com. When I got the humidor, I looked up what I needed to do. I put in a shot glass half filled with water,dampened the humidifier and waited 12 hours. 12 hours later, all the water was still in the glass. I again dampened the humidifier and left it for 24 hours. Still nothing. I feel like I am missing something simple, but I could sure use some help!

Perfect Nothing I read told me to wipe the box down with water! Time to start over haha.

jliu

haha yea man. there is a series of steps that you need to follow. but once it's all said and done, you'll be happy with it. and I'm pretty sure the video says this but you must use distilled water. tap water tyically has too many contaminents

Usually takes about 3 days to a week to season a humi. Sometimes longer in a real dry climate. If yo wipe down the inside DON'T saturate it you can cause to wood to warp then you'll just have a cool looking box to store junk.

Since this is your first thread I thought I should warn you that it's not cool to use Cigar.com's forum to talk about a competitor's website. I'm sure you understand. So, this time it's just a warning.

Rain

Yeah, noob! It's called "Search", Rain.Bob, you can't quote it or it can't be changed. Just a warning....move along!PS - I did get that one.PSS - CCom, please starting selling that humi...it rocks.

Bob Luken

Cange it!? LOL. No way Randy. It's just too good to change. The Cop was once the criminal.

***Change ;)Yep...I was undercover!No, but really...I was guilty. My only defense is A) I was/am a noob and CCom does not sell that humi.Now I have to go reevaluate my whole life.
