4. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the humidor from its packaging. Retain packaging materials for future transport if needed.
- Placement: Place the humidor on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is adequate space (at least 5 inches) around the back and sides for proper ventilation. Avoid placing it near direct sunlight, heating vents, or other heat-generating appliances.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the interior and exterior with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the interior is completely dry before placing cigars inside.
- Power Connection: Plug the humidor into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Seasoning the Spanish Cedar: Spanish cedar needs to be seasoned to prevent it from drawing moisture from your cigars. Lightly wipe down the cedar shelves and drawers with distilled water using a clean sponge or cloth. Do not soak the wood. Allow it to air dry inside the humidor for 24-48 hours with the door closed. Repeat this process until the humidity stabilizes.
- Water Box Preparation: Fill the included water box with distilled water. Place it in the designated slot at the bottom of the humidor. This helps maintain humidity. Monitor the water level and refill as needed.
