Just a quick update: after a week of seasoning in my closet in 68 degree conditions, I placed my singles inside the humidor and let them sit for a few days and the seal is holding humidification nicely. The digital hygrometer attached to the humidor was reading 69%, but my small adjustable hygro inside was only at 61%. Incidentally, I'm using two Boveda 72% packets until a lbs. of 65% HF beads arrive this week. I pulled the digital out and decided on doing another salt test and sure enough, it only went up to 67% after 24 hours so I set it to 75%. After placing it back inside the humidor on the bottom, it's reading 68% and the attached hygrometer is reading 69% at 70 degrees

My baby daughter approves!
