Do I need to season the humidor before using it? How do I do that?

Yes, seasoning your humidor is essential before storing cigars. It ensures the Spanish cedar lining is properly humidified and prevents it from absorbing moisture from your cigars. Here’s how to season it properly: Wipe down the interior (including walls and tray) with a cloth lightly dampened with distilled/drinkable water. Don’t soak it — just moisten the surface. Place a small open container of distilled/drinkable water inside the humidor. Fill the humidifier with distilled/drinkable water or a humidification solution (if using gel or foam type). Close the lid and let it sit for 48–72 hours. Once the humidity reaches around 65–70%, remove the water container, check the hygrometer, and add your cigars. Repeat the process if the humidity doesn’t stabilize initially. Never use tap water—it can lead to mold or mineral buildup.

Using the Detachable Humidifier
Your Humidor Box includes a compact humidifier designed to maintain your cigars’ freshness wherever you go. You can activate it in one of two ways:

Using Drinkable Water (Short Trips):

Open the humidor compartment.
Add a few drops of distilled or drinkable water (avoid tap water) in the humidifier filter. Wait 30 minutes for the humidity to stabilize, then check the Relative Humidity (RH). If it reads between 65% and 70%, you're good to go. If it's below that range, simply add a bit more water.
Ideal for quick storage and short travels.
This method lasts 1-2 weeks—best for short trips.

Using Humidity Packs (Recommended):

Insert a small humidity pack (such as Fluid & Fire 69%) inside the humidor space.
No mess, no maintenance—keeps cigars fresh for 2-3 months.

Use a calibrated hygrometer to monitor humidity and a humidifier or humidity packs to maintain levels between 65% and 72%, depending on your preference. Check regularly and refill as needed.

Spanish cedar helps regulate humidity, repels tobacco beetles, and enhances the aroma and aging of your cigars over time—making it the ideal wood for cigar storage.

Yes, but it’s best to use dividers if available. Mixing flavored or infused cigars with traditional ones may transfer aromas, so keep them separated if you want to preserve their original profiles.
