Seasoning a humidor.

Do you know what they call cigar smokers who "rush things"?

Cigarette smokers!......

sorry just kidding. There are several thing happening when you season a humidor

1. You let the entire humidor absorb moisture to complete saturation. Not just till the hygo says "ok".
2. You let this piece of furniture acclimate to its surroundings. When this happens you can get leaks from expansion and contraction.
3. You let the humidity levels STABELIZE not just get high enough inside the humidor.

This is one step you shouldn’t rush.
