4.2 Initial Seasoning of Spanish Cedar Wood

Spanish cedar wood requires seasoning to prevent it from absorbing moisture from your cigars. This process helps the wood reach an ideal humidity level.

  1. Remove all cedar shelves and the drawer from the humidor.
  2. Lightly wipe the cedar wood with a clean cloth dampened with distilled water. Do not soak the wood.
  3. Place the movable water sink in the humidor and fill it with distilled water.
  4. Return the cedar components to the humidor. Close the door and allow the unit to sit for 24-48 hours to absorb moisture.
  5. Monitor the digital hygrometer. Once it stabilizes around 65-70% RH, the humidor is seasoned and ready for use.

4.3 Połączenie zasilania

Connect the power cord to the humidor and then plug it into a grounded electrical outlet. The control panel display will illuminate.

4.4 Higrometr cyfrowy

The humidor includes a digital hygrometer integrated into the cedar drawer to display the internal humidity. Ensure it is properly seated in its designated slot.

5.3 Humidity Management

The humidor features an air closed-loop circulation system and a movable water sink to help maintain humidity. For optimal cigar preservation, a relative humidity (RH) of 55-65% is recommended.

  1. Fill the movable water sink with distilled water. Place it in its designated area within the humidor.
  2. Monitor the digital hygrometer to ensure the desired humidity level is maintained.
  3. For enhanced humidity control, especially in dry environments, it is recommended to use humidifier packs (e.g., Boveda packs) in conjunction with the water sink.
