Humidor rehabilitation

If you want to make the seal a little tighter you could try and do what I did to my 100 count. Take some masking tape and put it around the rim of the top lid. Worked like a charm for me. Add more layers of tape to increase the tightness.

Thanks guys, decided to reseason it today. We'll see what happens in a week or so. If that doesnt work I will try the tape.

Not a bad idea!

Foam weather stripping will also work.

I agree that sometimes it takes a good reseasoning to get the wood swollen that tiny bit to create a good seal.

Interested to see the outcome within the next week or so. Good luck brotha!
