I understand that is the preferred method, but my question is why. If the Boveda packs keep the humidity stable, as well as seasoning the humidor. Then why wouldn't they make it safe to store your cigars immediately, keeping a close eye on the hygrometer obviously.

I'm not trying to argue or break convention or anything, but I'd like to hear some ideas of possible problems with this method. I can think of several logical reasons it could cause problems, for example certain spots in the humidor being higher RH than others, packs drying out if you don't keep an eye on them, etc. Just wondering if there is a reason not to try it other than "you should do it this way"
