I'm not sure people realize how long it takes to season a dry wood humidor using passive humidity sources like Boveda. Even Boveda suggests 14 days with their 84% packs for seasoning a dry box before adding your smokes. When I brought my desktop out of storage, I gave it 3 weeks with the 3/8" cedar liner.
Here's a current example. This cooler holds 9 sealed Sistema boxes and an open tub of tubos. I added a large dry cedar singles tray to the cooler with a large Xikar Crystals jar that's capable of pumping out 85% humidity back on April 17. Notice how long it's taken to bring the sealed cooler back up to 70% RH (today May 5th) with the dry singles tray sponging up the humidity. The cedar in this singles tray is maybe half that of the total cubic inches in the liner of a 100 count humidor if the lid is also cedar lined. It takes a long time to passively humidify dry cedar. It also takes a long time to dehumidify seasoned cedar and that's what makes it so awesome for cigar storage.
