SEASONING YOUR CIGAR COOLER
It is best to season your wood shelves and drawers before adding your cigars so that the wood is at an ideal relative humidity (RH) and does not absorb humidity from your cigars. To season your new cigar cooler:
1.
Add distilled water to the included moisture container or add a sponge that is damp with distilled water. Again, make sure that the water is not touching the wood directly or this may damage the wood.
2. Allow the moisture container, or other humidity-adding device, to sit in the cooler until it reaches a relative humidity of 5% higher than your preferred level. This process may take as long as 3 days but is the best way to ensure your cigars stay optimal.
3. Once the cooler reaches this mark, you can begin to add cigars. You may add a few at a time in order to monitor the RH and make sure it stays at a level you want it at. If it drops too much, you can use the same seasoning method to bring it back up.
During this entire process, it is recommended to not open the door unnecessarily, as this lets moisture escape and can delay the process.
