I already have two smaller humidors (25 ct and 50 ct) and seasoned them in the typical manner, i.e. dampen the wood with distilled water and leave the wet sponge for a day or two in an open plastic bag or whatever. Well, the instructions that came with the new box (a somewhat larger 200+ ct box) stressed DO NOT WET THE WOOD directly. Rather, charge the humidifiers and leave a shot glass of distilled water in the humidor until the humidity stabilizes. How does this sound to you folks? I tried it and right off the bat the humidity was 70-71% and hasn't moved for two days. Call it good or what?

One more question...Living in Central FL, my humidor temp is usually 76 to 78 degrees, not exactly ideal. Is there a rule of thumb regarding humidity levels for temps too high or low? I guess what I mean is should I adjust the humidity up or down for constantly higher temps? Humidity is cheap and easy, but without a damp cold basement to store my cigars I'm not about to air condition the house just to keep my smokes comfortable ... my wife won't let me


Thanks all!
