I just a new 20 ct humi, and used filtered tap instead of distilled to season it. Would this be a big problem?

If you just placed a dish of warm filtered water in the humidor and let the wood draw the moisture in you will have no problem. If you wiped down the inside of the humidor just once with filtered water you will still be OK, just don't make a habit of it/Quote:

Get some beads from Cigarmony.com
Thank you guys! Another question if I may, would you recommend emptying the old basic humi puck, and putting beads in it?
I did that with my desktop. Works fine.Quote:

For a 20 count humidor you'll only need the smallest one at the top of this page Then you just wet the beads and drop the tube in your humidor and you're all set.Quote:

Go to Cigarmony.com or just send Mark (N2adventure) a PM. He sells a great product called the Puck http://www.cigarmony.com/index.php
Ah yes, "The Puck" is essentially exactly what you're thinking of building. It's a round humidifier with beads it in. That would be perfect for you.
By The Way. As I have discovered a 20 count humidor, or even a 50 count humidor, is not nearly big enough. Give yourself a month and you'll find that you have more cigars than you have places to store them. (I was going to say "more sticks than you have places to put them" but that sounded rude) :smiley2:

Hi, I'm Dru. I'm a cigarbid addict. I haven't bought anything from Cigarbid in 13 days.
I'm taking it one day at a time.
No worries there, yet. At least some good came from my Cbid addiction, I got a few good sized humi that will hold all my collection. That is, assuming I can STAY away from Cbid....
you just purchased an ammo box from the ammunition store.Quote:
