Newbie: Season a new cheap 25/50 ct glass top humidor

UKDad23Boys

New to the hobby so I purchased a 25/50 ct glass top humidor.  I comes with the black disk.  I purchased the BOVEDA 62% RH (67 GRAM) and the Humi-Care Bead Gel Humidification * 2 oz Jar.  I also have about 30 cigars arriving (some tubes and some without).  Where do I start? Trying to impress my dad so I NEED Help please

Put a small Tupperware of distilled water in the bottom of the empty humidor.  Put a brand new sponge in that container that is taller than the water line.  Close it FOR 2 WEEKS.  

Then take that black disc, wrap it in a paper towel, and place it gently in the bottom of your trash receptacle. 

Then put a couple of bovedas in the humidor after the 2 weeks.

Done.

Probably a safe bet your cigars will get there before your humi is ready.   Go to your local discount retailer of choice & get a tupperware style container that'll hold all your sticks.  When they show up, toss them and a Boveda pack in the container till your humi is seasoned.   They'll keep just fine.
