Humidor Question

[CgarDan]

if it was never seasoned...it ain't working....and now you must use the search function...

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

The best solution is to put all your cigars in the same humi and not worry. Unless you have any flavoured sticks. Keep those separate.

Was almost ready to throw this one in the trash but decided to do a little experiment first.

I sanded down the inside of the humi, put some insulation tape on the edges to make it really air-proof, seasoned the box for 2 days, put heartgield beads in it and WHOLA

temp is at 72% and hum is at 73% for 3 days straight now

I guess a 50 count humi can always come in handy

Think will use this one for OK quality ( not premium ) cigars and I am almost ready to get this beauty of a humidor for my better sticks

And for $169 probably is an awesome deal.
