Humidity Problem

[bobarian]

There is a sticky on seasoning your humidor. Please retread. I see no evidence that your humidor was seasoned properly. In step 3 you said you left the water in for 10 days. But that may not be enough, the humidor needs to be able to maintain a constant humidity before adding beads or cigars. If there is a leak this will be masked by the addition of cigars and beads.

Bob is wise in the ways of the raindrop. The sticky is beautifully done but amazingly easy to screw up, at least for me. Even if you know that you are doing it right, print it out and have it nearby.
