Why do I need to season a wood humidor?
Seasoning a wood humidor with Boveda 84% RH packs provides moisture directly to the wood, creates a better seal, and prevents the wood from robbing moisture from your cigars.
The wood in a cigar humidor contains bound water and free water. Bound water is deep in the wood’s cell walls. It is what it is—you can’t affect bound water with seasoning.
It’s the free water you can control. Free water is the moisture inside of your humidor. Think of seasoning with Boveda as “ultra-filling” the free water. The Boveda packs that you’ll add after seasoning keep that tank “full”.
Without a “full” free water tank, your cigars will provide the moisture. This dries out your cigars and makes for an unpleasant smoking experience. So let’s avoid that.
