Humidor Question

hey dan...did you season the humi when you got it??.......have you re-seasoned it each year?.........

as far as temps are concerned...the humi shouldn't get higher than whatever your room temp is,unless it's near a radiator or in direct sunlight....

Found a very nice post with pictures for seasoning a humi - I did something vey similar but that was 3-4 years back.

I guess the idea behind re-seasoning is that either the cedar can slowly dry out or hydrometer can go bad with time if not both.

Does the amount of free space in the humi affect how often it should be re-seasoned ? I keep mine at about 50% - easier to see what I have in there this way.

Another question that some other newbies will probably have as well. I read that if different cigars stay in the same humidor they will mary and will not taste the same so the optumum choice is to have I guess 3 humi for mild, medium , and strong cigars.

Is this even that much of an issue in the first place. And for those of us who don't have the resources whether monetary or space wise to accamodate 3 decent humis what is the best solution?

Thanks
