OK guys, humidors don't "dry" out. If your humidor "drys" out, your cigars are also going to be dried out (and probably fucked too). To prevent this from happening, we place a humidification device inside of the humidor and ensure that there is a proper seal.

I can't believe this thread has gone soo far.

Actually mine did. I neglected it for some time, and when I opened it the wood had dried and and the beads actually were covered in oil from pulling it from the wood. All I did was re-season the wood and re-activate the beads. I don't think the beads are working as good as they were because they can't keep the humidity as constant as my coolidor can, but hey, they are still working ok.

Sorry, I should have said a properly maintained humidor. If the wood dries out, that is the least of your worries. If that happens the smokes are probably pooched as well.
