Senior Bob Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I now have my "new humidor" - The Genova Model What ( if anything) do I have to do to break it in ? The gauge reads 90 % right now Does it need to air out ? I have a digital unit on order along with the beads Any ideas ? Senior Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby07 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Perform a salt test on your humidistat and make sure it's accurate. 90% seems awfully high. If it's steady at 90% now you probably don't want to season it. In fact, you're going to want to absorb some of that moisture. When you get the beads put them in dry (assuming the 90% is accurate.) Where do you live and what's the ambient humidity there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 1. Calibrate the hygrometer. Make sure it is reading correctly and if not at least note the +/- differential. 2. Throw away your humidifiers and use the beads. If humidity is high, don't moisten beads. 3. Put the cigars in. 4. Monitor every couple of days. It will take a week or two to stabilize. Don't panic :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
