Do you really need to season your humidor?

In my experience,  in some cases can't hurt to season as to prevent having a baseline RH that is below desired level but definitely not needed in all and maybe most cases.

Anyone else find that when watching a Kirby vid, instead of paying attention to the topic you just end up being distracted by his constant hand movements?

Quite simply, yes.

What's the point of having wooden humidors these days? Just throw in a couple 65% boveda packs in the xikar travel cases and humi bags you are good to go. Worry free.

No. Wooden humidors are a bloated luxury expense. @PigFish Ray, I have a wine cooler which is my most consistent humidor. I don't think cigars need this much attention of cedar contact, it does not improve the product , that is just ageing. In fact I would think metal is fine for cigar storage.

Yea, same. 😄 Although I’m guilty of the same thing.

Since moving to a big wineador and several tuppers on the side, I haven’t worried a bit about seasoning in years. My one large box has several bundles of Nudies/MOFOH, and a smaller one holds some bundles of custom rolls, but I didn’t season. Just filled them with sticks and they acclimated great at 65%. I might’ve gotten lucky.

Agreed. Have a couple ezy Storage tuppers that have been the most consistent options for me. Easy to get a couple cedar trays online for loosies, and never needed to season those trays; still hold a very consistent RH.

The minute he said ' more modest ellie bleu' I tuned out.

 Sorry Veguerosm....Kirby

Totally.

For a moment I thought I was addressing the barbecue thread again…. I will blame @BoliDan for sucking me into this one! Oh, a pun is in there somewhere, Kirby, vacuum, sucking…. Never mind!

Carry on people,

Oh, yes wood in humidors… About as useful as the 20mhz processor in today’s computers.

I re-seasoned two of my desktop humidors recently for 2 weeks using the 84% Boveda packs, and I think it made a 4-5% difference to stable RH. I was having to use 69% ones to achieve 64% before, now 65% hold stable 64-6.

The funny thing is, he will have gone to some paid week of grifter seminars to learn these moves. It just makes him look like a malfunctioning C3P0.
