Before you begin storing cigars in your new humidor, it must first be seasoned. This ensures that the wood has absorbed moisture and come into equilibrium with the environment your cigars should be stored in. Failure to season a humidor will produce a lot of dried out cigars, because the wood will absorb moisture directly from the cigars. The most important item you can bring to the seasoning process is patience. We all want to put that new humidor out and immediately fill it. By spending some time seasoning the humidor, you will enjoy trouble-free operation for your humidor and have a much easier time maintaining the humidity.

Place a shallow bowl of distilled water inside the humidor and close the lid.

Calibrate your hygrometer or if your hygrometer is already calibrated, place it inside the humidor.

Leave alone for at least 3 days.

Check the reading on the hygrometer.

Once the reading reaches approximately 80%, close the lid, and make a note of the date.

Leave humidor closed for another 2 – 3 days.

Remove the bowl of water and install your humidifier.

Monitor the humidity once per day until it naturally settles back to about 75%.

Open the lid and fill the humidor ¼ full.

Close the lid and leave for 2 – 3 days to allow it to come to equilibrium.

Repeat steps 9 – 10 until the humidor is either full or you run out of cigars.

Find a container to hold the amount of beads needed and spray with DISTILLED WATER until lightly soaked. DO NOT POUR water on to the beads, this will cause them to crack. You may also set a bowl of distilled water next to the beads and allow them to soak the water up, this just takes more time. Either of these methods will work. About 70% of the beads will turn a clear color and they are ready. You will want to monitor your humidity and color of the beads periodically to know when they need recharged. When the humidity drops below your desired level add some water until they are 70% clear again. We suggest using the Caliber III for monitoring your humidity. It is the most accurate digital hygrometer on the market. Find a good place that is somewhat stable in temperature and humidity to keep your humidor or cooler. Sometimes the best cure for extreme highs and lows is just the relocation of your humidor or cooler.

Volume discounts and percentage off sales are exclusive.

If we are running a percentage off sale, volume discounts will not start kicking in until the purchase quantity gets you to a pricing level where the price is lower than what is calculated due to the percentage off method.

For example: There is a product with a price of $10. We are having a 20% off sale. That would mean the price of the item is $8. There are volume discounts for this product of $9 when you purchase 5, $8 when you purchase 10, and $7 when you purchase 20. If you were to purchase 5 of this item, the shopping cart would calculate your price at $8, the sale price, because the sale price is less than the volume discount. If you were to purchase 20 or more of this item, the shopping cart with calculate the price at $7, the volume discount price, because the volume discount price is the lower of the two.

We reserve a time period between midnight and 5AM Eastern Standard Time for a routine maintenance window.
