hello all,

i am so happy that i found this forum. i have been smoking cigars regularly for about 3 months now and boy am i HOOKED. i just invested in a humidor and accessories for it:

- 150 ct cubancrafters humidor
- humiGUAGE? digital hygrometer
- 65% heartfeltindustries humidifier (beads)

i have a few questions that I did not find in some of the other posts.

- When seasoning the humidor (after the wipedown when I place a wet sponge in the middle of the humidor), do I setup the heartfeltindustries humidifier during the seasoning or after?
- Do I need to ever change the beads in the humidifier? If so, how often?
- Do I only add more water to the beads when they turn white? On an average humidor, how often do you add water (once a week, twice a month, etc.)?

Thanks in advance in helping me out.
