How to Season a Humidor

  • Humidor has low humidity after seasoning

Answer:

Humidor needs to be seasoned before first use.

  1. Place both 84% humidity packs in the humidor with nothing else in it, including no cigars. Humidity packets slide into the retainer inside the humidor.
  2. Close the humidor and leave it in the unit with the unit running for 2 weeks.
  3. Leave the lid of the humidor and the door to the unit closed during this time.
    • Opening the humidor excessively during this time can lead to improper humidity levels.
    • If the wine unit goes down, or if the humidor is removed for any reason, start the seasoning process over again with new humidity packs.
