my cigar.com humidor arrived today

Hi, I've been reading here about seasoning, and am wiping the inside, and placing a little distilled water in a shot glass into it. My question:it came with a small round humidifier, having never done this before, I have no idea how it works. Do I need to soak it in water or something? And if so, for how long? And should I go ahead and put it in while I'm seasoning it? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the help. Now that it's in my hands, I'm definatelly underwhelmed by the size. But it will have to do until my bank account improves.

I'm talking about the little round humidifier that's removable from the humidor. Some people take them out and soak them, but I'm always afraid they will drip on my cigars, so I just spray them.

I agree, that's why I'm using the humijars also. I put the humidifiers back in just because I don't want the unsightly indentation on the inside of the lid. I have seen where guys have replaced the foam with beads and they seem to work.

I still use that foam puck in one of my small humidors. I soak it in distilled water for a couple of minutes then I shake it off in the sink and then let is sit on a paper towel for around five minutes. I have never had a drip issue.
