Ok good. I am going to re season my humidor properly. Now I've heard varying opinions on this. Some say never to add any water directly to the wood and just let a shot glass of distilled water or a damp sponge sit in there on a baggie for a day or more. Others says apply water to the wood lightly and repeat every half hour until the wood is saturated. What has worked best for you guys?

There really isnt a wrong way to do it. Don't be affraid to experiment. I remember not long ago I was asking all these same questions. You receive a few different answers but basicaly it all comes down to what works for you. I wipe the inside of the wood with distilled water and put a small dish with distilled water on the inside. Make sure it is distilled!
