I do not believe in wiping down the wood with water, but each to their own. A small cup with distilled water sitting in an empty humidor should be enough until you get the beads and cigars.

In general, a full humidor regulated humidity the best and just use the the "squeeze test" to see if you are cigars are where they should be. You drive yourself crazy if chase the hygrometer readings...
