How would the failure to use a lint free cloth affect your cigars?

I beg to differ. Bob is correct and you are not. Wood is wood. Dry wood will dry out your cigars. This is exactly why you need to season a wooden humidor and do not need to season a (plastic) cooler (where there is no wood).

The point of seasoning is to saturate the wood with moisture -- this applies to any wood.
