I'm with Adam, never used a Boveda to season a humidor before, and mine have all been crackjack for 13-14 years with the old school methods.

Yeah, I'm not an expert but I'd have to agree....I feel like you *could* season with boveda bags but you'd need a whole heck of a lot of them otherwise it would take an eternity. I've either used sponge or even open container of DW provided the humidor is in a sturdy place/won't get bumped.

Plus you are just seasoning the shelves and drawers. Are you going to plug it in or are you just going to seal up the different holes (phrasing!) and use it unplugged?

No you don't wipe it down. You soak a new sponge in distilled water and put it on a small plate inside the box, you can always do two sponges on different shelves. The sponge do it it's shape and pores has blah blah blah millions of miles of surface area etc., lol But no you don't wipe anything down.

Nope just get the sponge soaked and squeeze it out a bit, then put it on a small plate. Leave it closed for at least 24 hours, then open it and check to see how dry the sponge is, if it's dry you can wet it and repeat the process.

I have not used a wine cooler before but I have a Vinotemp the uses a wine chiller. I can tell you that for years I chased the humidity because every time the chiller kicks on the humidity drops. And I was always having to refill the humidifier. I live in SoCal so after 10 year I finally unplugged it put in a few small tubs of beads and it sits at 65% all the time

Some lessons must be learned first hand. I hope that the Boveda packs do as you expect, but I caution you to be open to other options if your approach fails to yield the results that you want.

I have three vinos and use Cigarnut/Shilala beads in them (two of the three aren't plugged in) and have not had an issue in over 8 years.
