Shhh...I'm trying to learn patience. :)


At least I know (by their own verbal admission when I was in there on Monday talking with the owner in their walk-in humidor) that my local B&M sells their sticks pretty moist. So I'm trying to be patient for at least a few weeks, and am attempting to let my Boveda packs in my ziplock baggies do their thing.

Which brings me to another question. I know that once I get my Tuppador (hopefully next month) up and going that I will need to "burp" (or leave it open for like an hour) once a week to let the gasses out and let fresh air in.

No leave everything sealed until you are going to smoke something. The only thing opening a humidor, winador, tuppador, etc., does is change the humidity.

Should I open my ziplocks to let gasses out or fresh air in once a week (until I get my Tuppador) or do I just leave them sealed with my sticks and Boveda inside and open them only if I want a cigar??

Same as above, no need to open anything.

Would having two 69% Boveda packs be overkill for a ziplock bag with only 5 cigars currently resting inside it???

I ask because I just smoked my last stick from the baggie of various sticks I bought a month ago at my B&M (with a 69% Boveda pack) and now it's just the Boveda pack left in that bag. Should I put that month old Boveda pack in my other ziplock bag with the 5 cigars that I bought a week ago?

The bag I bought last week already has another 69% Boveda in there so would adding that second one from a month ago be too much? I don't wanna waste the month old Boveda (if I don't have to) so I thought I'd ask here...

Do you know if I can take the built in analog out and replace it with a digital or am I better off leaving it and simply putting the digital one inside the humidor? Thx folks-appreciate the feedback.

I've never sprayed water directly on shelves, I've only seasoned them like a small humidor with distilled water. I put them in an airtight area with a shot glass (or more) of distilled water. I'll let someone more knowledgable answer, but for me personally I was always worried about too much water being absorbed and the wood warping or swelling too much to where there isn't a good fit.

Again, I'm sure someone with more knowledge will post :tu

It has never caused a problems for me, and you can tell they are much cleaner by the amount of red micro sawdust that is collected on the wet papertowel. (Spanish cedar sawdust has a reddish hue to it.)
