Doesn't sound like you have enough time to properly season the new one. Better setup some tupperdors or cooleradors in the interim. You can ruin good cigars by not properly seasoning a new humidor just as easily as you can ruin it without the proper humidification devices.

Congrats on the freefall down the slope. Keep in mind, there is no bottom....

Good catch - the man speaks the truth. Stick the new cigars in a few tupperdors for the time being while you season the humi properly, the sticks will be fine in plastic for a while. Make sure you get her good n seasoned, a 600ct is a PITA to empty and re-season

How much time to season? I have barely enough room in my current humi but I can make do for sure. It is coming monday and I should have the beads by then as well.

Also, if anyone is looking for one of these I thought I got a good deal...a place called cigartoyz.com for $150 (plus like $36 shipping)...I will let you all know for sure though how nice or not noce it really is when I get it. Never done business with this joint before.

That's a crazy good deal. You'll have to let us know what it looks like when it comes in. I mean, I almost paid that much for my last humi and it isn't nearly as schmancy (and I mean that in a good way) or have even half the capacity. This is a borderline "too good to be true" type of deal.

Anyone else ever buy from this vendor before?

That is the same thing I thought! The cheapest I saw one for was $259 + shipping of this same type...I just stumbled on it and could not pass it up. They apparently shipped it the very next day...got a tracking number...hope the box isn't full of rocks and garbage!

Like I said, I'm interested to hear how it comes in. I'm not trying to be negative. Don't let me rain on your parade. I'm just jealous.
