I'm actually using my B&M's technique currently since I just went out and bought 21 perdomo frescos and a new humidor until the humidor is seasoned. I have them in a gallon size ziplock with two paper towels in an open quart size bag

1) Keep your cigars in a large ziplock back with nothing else. They will last at least 2 weeks with no humidification.

2) Season your humidor using this guide- http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=620

3) Calibrate your digital hygrometer using the salt method or a Boveda test kit.

4) Order some beads for humidification-HeartfeltIndustries and Shilala's beads are what most use here. Beads will regulate your humidity by absorbing moisture when it is too high and releasing it when it is too low. You can also use the green sponge with Propylene Glycol solution, but it is a bit messier than beads.
