Because it's unsanitary, gathers dirt, and drowns the spanish cedar. If cigars aren't cello'd, it'll soak into the cigars, too. There's all kinds of good reasons not to do it.
Honestly, you are the very first person who I have ever heard come up with this. It's really a bad idea. Not trying to make you look silly, and no one else is, I'm sure.
On a technical level, it will swell and ruin the wood your humidor is made of. Rubbing the wood with distilled water while cigars are in there is the absolute best way I can imagine to grow mold. Also a bad idea.
There are really good ways to achieve results, and some bad ways. Rubbing anything on the wood isn't a good way.
Hope this helps!!!
