I got a humidor Wednesday. It's a 25 cigar-er, Dark Walnut with blonde maple veneer, Spanish cedar lined. I've been trying to season it, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right at all.

On Thursday, I bought some distilled water and a sponge and damped all of the wood, as I've been told to do. I left the damp sponge it in, and I let it sit for 24 hours. It was a good 70 when I opened her the next day (Friday). I wetted her down again, and this time, I wetted the humidifier in it. 24 hours later, and I just opened her, and she is at 60. I just refilled the humidifier today. It feels like it has a good seal when I close it.

Am I doing this right? Is this normal? How much longer before it is seasoned and cigar ready?
