It finally arrived last night and it is beautiful. I hope to have some pictures up in a few weeks as I am seasoning it now and will leave it largely undisturbed during that process.
So a couple more questions while I wait.
I am using the Boveda Seasoning Packs (four of them) and have put the humidor in a cool, dark place for the recommended ten to twenty days. At the same time I have taken the digital hydrometer and placed in the Boveda Calibration Kit ziplock bag. So my questions then are:
1. How long can I leave the hydrometer in the Calibration Kit beyond the 48 hours it should take to be set?
2. Should I open the Humidor while it is being seasoned just to put the hydrometer back in place once it has been properly calibrated or just wait until the humidor has been properly seasoned before opening it at all?

Thanks again for all of your help and advice.
