No humidification. The cigars/jar are at the right RH before the lid is screwed down, and the temp is around 64F in the basement 24/7/365.

I tried a few things with the lid. Doing it the proper way (hot jars) leads to a vacuum within the jars which probably isn't good - you can see the cigars swelling when the seal is broken. So I just screw down the lid tightly with the jar at humidor temp. If there is a leak, then the jars are in a coolerdor anyhow.

It is a convenient way to organize/isolate aging cigars for me at the moment, as I don't like keeping cigars that don't have cello in (Cuban) dress boxes.
