Re: Hows your Weather?
I was hunkered down in my designated safe spot on my slab of concrete, an interior closet with multiple walls outward beyond that. There's was a tornado warning, and it seemed like it was aiming right at me. The good news is they just said they have seen nothing on their screen indicating flying debris detection. Looks now like it is farther to the north of me as it is passing by. Glenn is to the south of me so I have not tried to text him up. I think they'll be fine.
But I did send Paul a text about 12:15 central because they had a warning about the same time in Columbia. Haven't heard back yet.
Re: Anybody ever heard of this method of seasoning?
I’ve wiped down the inside and lid with clean cotton until moist. Spraying it could work also, as long as it’s wiped into the wood and not left sitting on the surface. It takes too long to let it soak up naturally and it’s usually newer folks to the hobby using wood and not realizing how much humidity wood requires (both humidor and cigar boxes for that matter). A slightly bad seal just compounds the problems.
Then comes the chasing the issue situations: low humidity, lack of stability, possible mold, wet/dry cigars and burn problems ect when they try to fix issues quickly and swing to extremes on either end. Plastic is simply superior as a storage vessel, adding thin sheets of Spanish cedar will give the aroma and impact without requiring a bunch of moisture and compete with the cigars like thick wood shelves, boxes, and humidors.

Re: Anybody ever heard of this method of seasoning?
I put all of my new humadors in my swimming pool. I let them soak for a while at 100% humidity, and the chlorine prevents mold. I find that this works perfectly.

@OutdoorsSmoke_21191 scotch and smoke should not be your go to source for Cigar smoking advice. Are you the type of guy that has to Google search how to light your Cigar? Would you like for me to tell you what the best cigar is and how to cut it? SimpEdit🖕🙄😘
You’re right @Vision there is only one right way to season a humidor, one proper rh level, one right temperature, one way to cut a cigar, light a cigar, smoke a cigar and enjoy a cigar. There is only one good cigar too. Your overwhelming desire to be right has exhausted my will to be humorous. Grasshopper has now yielded to the master of all things cigar etiquette.
This is exactly you.... my point was made by your response above. Thank God you typed that out for me. I appreciate you tremendously.
Right again! Do you ever get tired of being correct all the time? 😉
No. It's not easy, but I make it look as such.
I'm there.

I was going to let it go until I read one of your previous posts. All you heard last night was “spray” with no follow up, questioning, no methodology inquiries, no evidence of understanding…just one word. Not like you. I’m just going to chalk it up to you were having a bad night because your back hurt.
No... I'm just not going to spray my humidor. I'll wipe the residual dust off of it with a lint free cloth and distilled water, but that's it. Then I will place a bowl of water in it and let it acclimate and when stable above 80 I will then enter in the Boveda and then when around 70 I will place my cigars into the humidor because they have already been sitting at between 65 and 70 in bags being prepared to enter into set humidor. See, not so tough. But I'm definitely not gonna trust my $40 cigars to plastic and spray bottles.
