84% Humidity Pack for New Humidors All wooden humidors need to be seasoned before use. The reason is two-fold; (1) to raise the moisture level in the wood so it'll be in equilibrium with your cigars, otherwise the wood will rob moisture from your cigars if it's too dry, and (2) the lid won't seal as well as it should.

If you live in a dry climate it's not unusual to need to re-season once a year, usually during the dry winter months.

There are a lot of ways to improperly season a wooden humidor, most of which you'll see by trolling YouTube videos on the subject. The #1 easiest way to way to destroy a fine humidor is to wipe it down with distilled water. That uneven and instant shock to the wood will usually lead to warping, a bad seal, and lay the groundwork for mold growth.

Nothing could be easier. Simply place the correct amount of Boveda seasoning packs inside your humidor (without cigars) and wait 14 days. Then replace the seasoning Boveda (84% RH) with regular Boveda 62%-75% RH. Use one packet for every 150 cigars your humidor can hold. For example a 300 count humidor would require two packs.

Don't worry about what your hygrometer is reading while you season. The moisture of the air is not the moisture content of the wood.

What do you do with your cigars while your humidor is seasoning? We recommend placing them in a tupperware container, cooler, or Humidor Bag with 69% Boveda while you wait for your humidor to season. (Humidor Bags come pre-loaded with Boveda)
