    Wineador drawer question

    Ok well I had to step up into the wineador category as I was bulging at the seams and just love the look and functionality of them. So about 18 months ago I scored a great deal on a new Newair 281e. I didnt have the funds for drawers for it so I just started filling it with old cigar boxes and then started filling it with cigars. A few weeks ago I finally pulled the trigger on a set of drawers for it and they are due in tomorrow. I can hardly wait.

    My question now is what is the best way to season the new drawers. The wineador is holding a pretty large amount of cigars so I wont have anywhere to put them if I use it to season the drawers so I am looking for ideas and help for the next step in my journey.

    Coolerador?

    Otherwise the other thing you could try doing is only putting in one drawer at a time. If it's bursting at the seams with cedar and cigars, those will help act as a buffer. Hopefully just one drawer at a time won't drop the RH too quickly. I'd also try to not put any cigars directly touching the new drawer.

    I actually found that I have a medium sized cooler that I forgot about and I think it will work great to hold my sticks until the drawers are ready.

    I placed several dishes in mine with with sponges soaked in distilled water (along with my kitty litter). I let it sit like that for several days till it got up to 75% RH and then pulled the sponges.

    Let it sit for another 24hrs and it leveled back down to 68% RH and I moved my sticks in. It has held 68-69% RH since.

    Yeah but he can't do that with all the cigars that have to be in those drawers.

    A few days outside the humidor will not hurt anything.

    I placed mine in a large Tupperware container I had sitting around while I seasoned my Wineador.

    Or place them all in large ziplock bags.

    Getting the wineador properly seasoned will be far better for the cigars long term than keeping them out of the wineador for a few days.

    sounds like someone needs to have a tupperware party and smoke-a-thon.

    Now to be serious. Do you have the option to but the sticks in large tupperware and complete the seasoning process.

    Lots of info here: http://www.cigarbum.com/forum/showth...ormation/page4

    and a shameless plug for my build thread: http://www.cigarbum.com/forum/showth...0e-guide/page2

    I personally took 4 disposable Ziploc containers and put a sponge in each and then filled each with enough water to go halfway up the sponge. it worked really good. but I would wait a little longer than i did because the drawers still could have seasoned a little more but it evened out fairly quick.

    Shameless plugs are very welcome here.
