New Member, Need Some Help

[jmontz]

Heartfelt beads, distilled water (in a spray bottle so you can mist the beads) and a digital hygrometer (if you don't want to take the time to calibrate a analog hygrometer) is all you'll need.

Wipe down the humidor interior several times with a clean cloth soaked with distilled water until the water no longer soaks into the wood (2, maybe 3 times). Let the humidor stabilize overnight and the hygrometer reads roughly 70%. Load the humidor with cigars (you can safely store the cigars in a heavy ziplock bag or a sealed Tupperware container until you're ready). The humidity may likely drop - that's okay. (Though seriously resist the temptation to open the humidor often to check the humidity level). Check the beads weekly and mist them as necessary. Otherwise - don't sweat it.

That's as easy as it is...

Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate the help.

When I let the humidor stabilize overnight should I leave it open or closed?

Can anyone give me a website to buy the beads from? Can't find them anywhere.

Would you also like one of us to stop by, set your humidor up and give you valuable pointers?

Kevin - I believe you're up! ...or was it Buzz.

Only if you bring some cigars to put in it as well. Thanks for the help though.
