Hello from Yorkshire Newbie

Welcome along.

This is just my opinion.....

I would definately season your himidor as unseasoned wood may absorb moisture from your cigars

I would avoid seasoning by wiping water round the inside, as this method can warp the wood(maybe the guy on cgars meant dont do this method rather than dont season).
Either get a boveda seasoning pack or place a small container of distilled water inside and leave it a couple of weeks.

Yes a small drop in humidity is normal as cold air can't hold as much moisture as warm. My humi has 3 large 69% bovedas in and is sitting about 64-65% as long as it doesn't drop into the 50's i wouldn't panic.

Even with your bovedas in you may still not achieve 69% inside as the wood will absorb some, anywhere in the mid 60s is fine and your cigars will be ok.

Just my take on it someone with more experience may have other ideas. Hope this helps

Very helpful. Thankyou.
I've got 3 packs of 69 in at the moment. Looking to get some seasoning packs and use the temp holding method.
Turmeaus sent me a large black bag which should hold my sticks well.

No probs.

You could also use a tupperware box until you are sorted

Well I finally got round to seasoning my humidor. I've had the pack for a while but actual Seasoning starts today.... 84% pack goes into an empty humidor. The 3 x 69s go in the Tupperware box with my sticks.

Have to say though, since I put the boveda packs in my humidor and removed the humidifier the humidity and the cigars seem very stable.

2 weeks before I swap back to my humidor and I Don't think I'll ever move away from the boveda packs!
