i got the one just for the cigars. it not a wine cabnet. i would send u a link but im using my phone. u can see it on the web site

i turned it on and set at 66.
i dont know if it needs a season
i bought a xikar crystal 100 cigar humidifier disc.
should i use beads instead of the disc?

What I'm getting out of your posts and from what everyone else said I'm a bit confused.

First off it seems like you got a vinotemp wooden humidor and not a wine refrigerator. You'll definitely need to season it if this is the case and you will want beads as your humidification.

According to the link neoflex posted your humidor is quite large. It would really help if you can give us the EXACT humidor you own. Or you could go to http://www.heartfeltindustries.com/calculator.asp and calculate how much beads you need based on L x W x H dimensions of your humidor. You can order them from there or shilala's site as well, which I don't have the link for but I'm sure if you wanted someone here could post a link.

sorry about confusing yall, i got this humidor.

Never seen that before... Well, it has cedar trays, but hard to see if it is cedar lined, either way, you should season it.

You can certainly use the Xikar Puck you already have once you add your cigars.

If you season anything it will be the cedar tray. I season but it's a matter of preference to many. If you choose to season it then don't overdo it.

65% is fine. Humidity is also a matter of preference. Some keep there humis at 55% and some at over 70%. I like mine around 65%.
