You'll definitely need to season the humidor, I'd recommend getting some distilled water from your grocery store and setting a small bowl in the humidor and let it set for 2-4 days. If you want to accurately test the humidity, then you'll want to think about getting a digital hygrometer as the analog style are little more than decoration by most people's accounts ( my own as well). And also probably look into a humidification source since any humidifier in that one should probably be thrown away given how old it is. Heartfelt beads are a reliable and relatively low maintenance humidity source, and you could probably get by with 2 one ounce tubes of 65% beads. I know I answered more questions than you asked, but that is probably the best way to go about getting this humidor in proper working order.
thanks. ill take to to my cigar shop and make sure i do all that correctly. and the bottles of mystic are to ancient to work? cause there is like 4 lil bottles.
i wouldnt trust em. id go with the beads. Id also clean the heck out of the humidor. im sure there is all kinds of dust on and in it. use a dry towel with no chemicals at all. maybe some canned air.
