Please Check My Work...

Hi All,
I just want to make sure I seasoned my humidor properly since I really did it half-assed the first time around. It is a 50 count that is approximately 10"W x 8"D x 4"H (320 cubic inches?). First, I calibrated my hygrometers using a 72% Boveda pack. They are dead on now. I very, very, very lightly wiped down the inside to remove any dust. On August 16th I put a bowl of distilled water in along with my hygrometer. The RH never read more than 75% at the max and was stable at that through August 29th. I took the bowl out and put two 72% Boveda packs in. RH has been around 65% for the last few days. So what do you all think? Is it ready for some sticks? Did I miss anything?

Sounds like it's ready to roll. Load it up.

You might check how well the RH holds without any humidification in the humidor.

Thanks for the advice. I'll be loading it up tonight! Then on to the next two. I really should just get a cabinet or a lot of tupperware.
