Well, after finding the right search words (who would hace thought of "smelly humidor") I found some information.

I'm not going to put bailey's in it, but I do have 3 boxes of Baking Soda inside. We'll see what happens. I need to season the box anyway, so hopefully the smell will be gone by then.

BPP - I also found a post about beetles not thriving until the temp hits 85+ for extenede periods. It appears that I'll be ok, but I usually get the house down to about 76-77 degrees. Does the humi stay about the same temperature as the ambient? (Sounds like an obvious "yes" but ya never know.)
