Hello everyone. Ive been delving into cigars more and more over the past year. Now with some expenive ones starting to drift in i had to actually go buy a humidor (such a tragedy

)

So ive been seasoning it for 3 days. when i woke up this morning it had stayed a perfect 70RH all night. Opened it up , it dropped to 60RH , I closed the lid and 10 minutes later was back at 70RH. Which was technically perfect. I decided that it might be ready to see a few sticks. I added a few sticks (not quite half capacity) and it took a nosedive to 58. And has slowly over the course of 4 hours climbed to 60.

Here in Alberta we have near 0% RH year round. The humidor itself was not stored in a ideal place when i purchased it. The cigars too where starting to dry out as they were not in a humidor.

My question is , will it catch up over a couple days? Or should i re season it for awhile longer and make a makeshift tuppordoor to give the cigars a head start on re humidifying them?

Thanks in advance for your input , and here are some pictures.

Any advice is welcome/appreciated.
