Hello. I am brand new to the cigar world and to the forum, and sure would appreciate a pointer or two. I just bought a Berkeley digital humidor. It arrived about a week ago and so far seems to be doing fine - 71% humidity at 62 degrees. (At least, I think that is fine. Please share any contrary opinions!) The humidor has the "green foam" type humidifier. In preparing it, I soaked it in distilled water; at the time I did not have any 50/50 glycol but have since gotten a bottle. When the foam needs re-juvenating, will it be soaked again or just dampened a bit? Plus, how much of the glycol is recommended?

I am very grateful for responses to an admitted newbie's questions. Also, any cigar recommendations are welcome (if this is the proper forum for that.) I really like the mild Primo del Rey toro and Romeo y Julieta bully, but am open to any suggestions!

Thank you all.
