Humidor advice

It looks like a great find!

One thing to keep in mind is that glass-to-wood joints are often a source of leaks in a humidor. Before you start using the humidor you may want to take the time to seal the glass-to-wood joints with some aquarium- or food-grade silicone sealant -- then let it dry and air out for a few days.

After that give it a good, long seasoning and you will be good to go!

Great idea! I have never used sealant on a humidor myself before. Makes a ton of sense!

Thanks!

I bought the humidor! A couple days of seasoning and we're ready to go!
