4.1. Debalaj ak Plasman

  • Carefully unpack the humidor and remove all packaging materials.
  • Place the humidor in your desired location, ensuring it is on a stable and level surface.
  • Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 8 hours before plugging it in. This allows the compressor fluids to settle, preventing potential damage.

4.2. Initial Seasoning

Before placing cigars inside, the humidor must be seasoned to allow the Spanish cedar wood to absorb moisture and stabilize the internal environment. This process can be done in two ways:

  • Automatic Seasoning: Plug in the unit and fill the water reservoir with distilled water. The humidor will gradually season itself over several days or up to a week.
  • Accelerated Seasoning: Place several bowls of distilled water inside the humidor, ensuring they are stable and won't spill. The increased surface area of water will accelerate the seasoning process. This method can reduce seasoning time significantly.
