new humidor perfection?!

Congratulatons on your new humi! I have never heard of this and it is certainly not the norm. Make sure you monitor your hygrometers regularly to make sure that the humi is not drying out. BTW, did you calibrate your hygrometer? If not, you should do so immediately -- just to be safe.

What Mike said.

Also, even with a killer seal, you should have seasoned your humidor for a while longer than a day. If the Spanish cedar has been properly kiln-dried, its going to absorb a good amount of moisture. 14 hours is not long enough to ensure stability IMO, ESPECIALLY not long enough to put your cigars in.

I would take your cigars out and place in ziplock baggies or tupperware and give your humidor more time to season. There is lots of good information available here on seasoning a humidor if you search for it.

Congrats on your new purchase, good luck.
