Lol, two weeks to properly season a humidor. Put the cigars in a Brilliance Tupperware with Bovedss or Ziploc with Bovedss while your waiting and don't wipe wood with water or it may swell and not fit.
just humidify your den and leave the top open

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
Yeah, the fúcker should have taken the little magnetic strip out. But it’s good to know he’s been sleeping on an account for two years lol

Soak it in your bathtub, that'll do the trick.

HELP! Bought a Needone 43L 300 count humidor in July, but now I can't get the humidity down below 75%. I had 8 of the 60g 69% Boveda packs in there but was told that wasn't enough, so I added a 320g 69 Boveda pack a week ago. It's still holding at 75% humidity with all of those packs in there. Any suggestions?
Burn your house down, it'll dry the air.
Cigars make a difference and you didn’t mention them. How many cigars do you have in it? If it’s full of cigars I’d say let the cigars air out because They could be over humidified already. If you have none in there, fill it up and see if you get the humidity down. Also you could try 65% Bovedas in the future if need be.
If your ambient humidity outside the humidor is > 69% then airing it out won't help. Are your Bovedas really plump from absorbing moisture, normal, or underinflated? You can weigh them on a gram scale to see if they're at rated capacity, they expand when they absorb moisture and contract when they release it.
My house air is 78%rh at the moment, open the box and the air in the humi almost instantly jumps up and then that is what the hygrometer reads. Cigars are fine. Could that be part of your observation?
Yeah I forgot. My default is assuming the house is always drier than the humidor.
We also answered the humidor questions for you a few months ago. Did you start over or just not read the responses?
Glad to see I'm rubbing off on you, grasshopper!
You were impatient with your humid or back in July and put a bunch of cups of water in it and soaking sponges and all other kinds of nonsense because it didn't instantly go to 72 the second you put the first boveda pack in it. Now you can't get all of that **** humidity out of the thing. You put a 69 in there and it didn't instantly go down to 69.
Slow down man! There are no shortcuts. If you want to season a humidor, it's 2 weeks. 14 days. Not 14 hours, not 14 minutes.
If you’re going to start storing cigars, you have to first learn how to wait, and secondly, you’re going to learn to trust the almighty Boveda
First electric humidor. I have a couple of desk top models that are doing great with either Boveda packs or humistat tubes. This electric humidor was seasoned initially and afterwards it held faithfully at 70 or 72. For some reason it recently went to 75%humidity and now it won't go lower. Thanks Yakster. Weather changed here in Texas, so that may be why Im just now having this issue.
