3. Setup Instructions

Step 3.1: Unpacking

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the humidor and accessories for any damage.

Step 3.2: Preparing the Cedar Wood Shelf

The cedar wood shelf requires seasoning to prevent it from absorbing moisture from your cigars. Lightly wipe the cedar wood shelf with a clean cloth dampened with distilled water. Allow it to air dry completely before placing it inside the humidor. Do not soak the wood.

Step 3.3: Installing the Hygrometer

Place the digital hygrometer inside the humidor. Ensure it is positioned where it can be easily read without obstructing cigar placement.

Step 3.4: Initial Humidification

If your package includes a humidifier, fill it with distilled water or a specialized cigar humidifier solution. Do not use tap water, as it can leave mineral deposits and promote mold growth. Place the filled humidifier inside the humidor. Close the lid securely using the four-sided locking buckles.

Step 3.5: Seasoning the Humidor

Allow the humidor to stabilize its internal humidity for at least 24-48 hours before adding cigars. The ideal humidity range for cigars is typically between 65% and 72% Relative Humidity (RH).

Step 3.6: Placing Cigars

Once the humidor has reached the desired humidity level, carefully arrange your cigars on the cedar wood shelf. The double-layer design allows for organized storage of different cigar types or sizes.

4. Operation

4.1 Monitoring Humidity

Regularly check the digital hygrometer to ensure the humidity and temperature inside the humidor remain within the optimal range (65-72% RH). The hygrometer displays both temperature (in °F or °C) and relative humidity.

4.2 Adjusting Humidity

If the humidity drops below the desired level, refill the humidifier with distilled water or cigar humidifier solution. If humidity is consistently too high, ensure the humidifier is not overfilled and consider airing out the humidor briefly.

4.3 Using the Time Memory Feature

The time memory dial on the lid allows you to track the storage time of your cigars. Slide the digital scale to select the month (M) and day (D) to help you remember when the cigars were placed or when the humidifier was last refilled.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Humidor

Wipe the exterior of the acrylic humidor with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could scratch or damage the acrylic. For the interior, use a clean, dry cloth. Do not use soap or chemical cleaners inside the humidor, as residues can affect cigar flavor.

5.2 Hygrometer Care

Periodically check the battery of the digital hygrometer and replace it as needed. If you suspect inaccurate readings, you may need to calibrate the hygrometer according to its specific instructions (usually involving a salt test).

5.3 Humidifier Maintenance

Regularly check the humidifier and refill it with distilled water or humidifier solution when levels are low. Clean the humidifier periodically to prevent mold or bacterial growth. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning your specific humidifier type.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Humidity Too Low

• Ensure the humidifier is adequately filled with distilled water or solution.
• Check that the humidor lid is securely closed and the buckles are latched to maintain an airtight seal.
• Verify the hygrometer is functioning correctly and calibrated.
• Consider adding more humidification elements if the environment is particularly dry or the humidor is frequently opened.

6.2 Humidity Too High

• Temporarily remove the humidifier or reduce the amount of water/solution.
• Briefly open the humidor lid for a few minutes to allow some moisture to escape.
• Ensure the humidor is not placed in an overly humid environment.

6.3 Lid Not Sealing Properly

• Inspect the silicone gasket around the lid for any debris or damage. Clean or replace if necessary.
• Ensure the locking buckles are fully engaged on all four sides.
• Avoid overfilling the humidor, which can prevent the lid from closing completely.
