Humidor Paranoia

[centurycigar]

Wiping down the wood is a must, not only does it help with the overall humidity of the humidor and seasoning of the humidor, but it also helps swell the wood a tiny bit which results in a much better seal. I good seal helps maintain the humidity. loose lids are a big cause of humidity loss.

Its not just CA, Ive read this many times in other formats.
But it comes down to personal preference, if you think it'll help or not.
