I didn't know they had seasoning wipes. I was just going to use the 84% seasoning packs.Quote:

I might put a sponge on a ceramic plate. More surface area should mean more evaporation.

They have a dint and dent sale from time to time. If you look closely, about an inch to the right of center, on the bottom lip of the humidor you can see a little gouge. It's just cosmetic, and doesn't compromise the seal.
That little dent ended up taking more than 50% off the retail price. They're also going to be sending me a 5er of his Red Label, which I gather is actually a decent cigar.
Very classy. Understated elegance. Way too small tho' :stogie:
The dividers seem to be kind of pointless too. I took them out and laid them sideways, since I figure they should be seasoned too.
Way too small...but I see plenty of room for more..really nice lookin
I wouldn't call it too small; I'd say it's a very nice "starter" humidor. Yes, you'll probably outgrow it in time; when you find yourself keeping it three-quarters (or more) full most of the time, consider getting a second humidor of the same size or larger. I currently use two desktop humidors, rated at 50 and 100 stick respectively. (They actually hold less, since I use Heartfelt Beads in cleaned-out gel-humidifier jars.)
Hang onto your tupperdor for temporary excesses (a very nice problem to have!), and perhaps for aging special sticks. Before my recent move I stocked up and put the overflow into several small tupperdors with Spanish cedar veneer sheets and Boveda packs, and packed them with clothing and household goods. This made opening the various packing boxes fun! I recommend putting the tupperdor out of sight in a cool, dark place, and checking on it about once a week. If it's out of sight, you won't be tempted to get into it every day or two during aging. Besides, now you have a great-looking wooden desktop humidor to put on display as it holds your daily smokes.
So Cameron do you even have enough sticks to fill it currently? @Zeede
Nope. But I have enough to keep it from echoing in there :)
Edit: Man this waiting is killing me :D
