Default Re: A little help with new box.

Scott will school you on what you need for beads.

As far as seasoning, i use a small bowl of distilled water with a crumpled up papertowel in it. Take care not to spill any water, and if you do, soak it up, too much water could cause the wood to swell and warp.

Seasoning could take a week or it could take a month... it depends on how dry the Spanish cedar inside is. When the hygro reads 65% or above for a few days in a row you should be good.

ps. you might consider getting some 65% humidity beads. I find that my cigars smoke better at 65, than at 70, but to each his own

Find a pic of it online and post it up here so we can see what it looks like!


I have a cabinet humi also and right now I have (probably not enough) beads and a moist'n'aire. Works pretty well for me.....

Only thing I do different is use a fresh new clean sponge rather than the papertowel. Shilala Beads
