OK, so I have 25 pricy cigars headed my way...

Put them in a big Ziploc bag with the water pillow that should come with them, that will hold them long enough to get the seasoning out of the way.

So the cigars from this site generally come with these pillows? If so, that makes me feel much better. Would vacuum sealing be a good idea, or a waste of money(the bags cost around $5 for 5-10)? Thanks for the quick reply.

Vacuum sealing will turn your cigar into pipe tobacco, or roll-your-own cigarrette tobacco.

Putting a water pillow in a zip-loc bag will work just fine, especially if you're doing just until your humi is seasoned.

Hey Lee, welcome to the site. Fyi - I ordered the exact same deal (it's pretty sweet), and it just arrived two days ago. I have the humidor seasoning right now, and my cigars are chilling in a 'tupperdore' - tupperware with a distilled-water-wet sponge within. My order did not come with a humidity pillow, which sucks because I thought it was supposed to, so my setup is as best as I can do for the moment. There's some decent responses from other fellas regarding this deal in my thread entitled "Cigar.com 20ct Humidor Questions" if you want to check it out.
