So I bought my first humidor and it should be arriving via UPS in a couple days. I was reading the "Seasoning a humidor" thread and had a couple questions. First question is the salt test. I understand what its for, but how do you do a salt test on a hygrometer that is built in to the humidor?

Second question is that the thread said to fill your humi to 75% capacity once you get it balanced. What if you dont have enough cigars to fill it to 75% yet?

Thanks in advance!
1st question - A. Maybe there's a way to remove the hygrometer. B. Get the heartfelt beads and forget about it. C. Get a digital hygrometer(you can get one for under $20).

2nd question - The tupperware works good or you can buy blocks of spanish cedar off of ebay(more expensive than the tupperware). The easiest way to do it is buy some more smokes. Cigarbid is a good place, the Newbie Sampler Trade is even better of a deal.

When I first got my humidor I purchased some JR alternatives(I didn't know any better) to take up some space. I still have about 15 of the 20 sticks. They taste like hay with a hint of horse shit. But I keep them in a small tupperdor for kindlin.
