Setup and Seasoning

Before storing cigars, the humidor must be properly seasoned to achieve and maintain the correct humidity level. This process prevents the wood from absorbing moisture from your cigars.

1. Prepare the Humidor: Open the cigar box.
2. Wipe Interior: Soak a clean sponge with pure distilled water. Gently wipe the interior cedar wood surfaces. It is recommended to wipe every 1-2 months for optimal seasoning.
3. Dry: Allow the humidor to dry for 3-4 hours after wiping.
4. Prepare Humidifier: Use the provided water dropper to add 15-30ml of distilled water to the humidifier. Do not overfill.
5. Place Humidifier: Place the prepared humidifier inside the humidor.
6. Close and Monitor: Close the humidor lid. Try to keep the box closed and avoid direct sunlight. Monitor the hygrometer. The recommended humidity inside the humidor is between 65% and 76%.
7. Initial Cigar Placement: Once the humidor has maintained a stable humidity level within the recommended range for at least 24-48 hours, you may place your cigars inside.

Accessory Drawer

Utilize the bottom sliding drawer to keep your cigar accessories, such as cutters and lighters, neatly organized and readily accessible.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity of your humidor and the quality of your cigars.

• Refilling Humidifier: Periodically check the humidifier. When the humidity drops below the recommended range (65-76%), add 15-30ml of distilled water using the dropper.
• Wiping Interior: As part of ongoing maintenance, wipe the interior cedar wood with a damp sponge (distilled water only) every 1-2 months to help maintain seasoning.
• Placement: Keep the humidor away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and air conditioning vents to prevent rapid humidity fluctuations.

Troubleshooting

Addressing common issues to maintain optimal cigar conditions:

• Low Humidity: If the humidity is lower than the recommended 65-76%, supply additional distilled water to the humidifier. Ensure the humidor is properly sealed.
• High Humidity: If the humidity is higher than 80%, it indicates too much distilled water. Remove the humidifier and expose it to the air to allow excess water to evaporate. Reinstall the humidifier once the humidity normalizes.
• Hygrometer Inaccuracy: Analog hygrometers can sometimes be inaccurate. For precise readings, consider calibrating it or using a digital hygrometer as a reference.
