I keep hearing these two terms passed around and was wondering what is the difference. I mean, I know seasoning is for the initial humidification of a new humidor and recharging is a maintenance function. However, as far as the task, what is the difference?

Short story(s) Hemmingway series

Opus X that I purchased about 1 or so years ago.

Ok... bleach and water in a humidor can be trouble if done wrong, so can I have some specifics? How strong (ratio) should the bleach water be? I can use bleach and Distilled water, right? Do I let the humidor air out afterwards and if so that means I will have to reseason? Thanks in advance...

Why the second thread...? I was told in the other thread to go troubleshoot issue, so I came to the humidor formum. :) I will attempt to upload some pics, but from what I've read so far... plume is rare.. very rare. This appears to be mold. It is about 16th of inch thick (high) and has a very...

Wonderining why cigars in my 50 stick prometheus humidor have mold. What could be the cause and how to I stop? Is there a cleaning procedure for the humidor? Humidifier reads 77% @ 78 degrees

Not sure why, but seems like every cigar I place in my small 50 stick prometheus humidor, seems to grow mold. Can I just wipe the mold off and smoke? Is there a cleaning process for the humidor?

My order was at my door step just 2 days after ordering it. Can't wait to try the beads!!

thank you

Yes. I have a XiKar digital which has a button to press to calibrate to 75%. I also have a Promethious digital with no means of adjustment. Will be mainly relying on the XiKar and use the Promethious as a backup.

Well........ what should an accurate hygrometer read after sitting in a Boveda bag? 75% just like a salt test?

Could someone post or point me in the direction to view detailed directions on how to use the Boveda Hygometer Calibration Kit before I purchase? I already looked on Boveda's website and I could not find directions thanks

This might seem like a silly question, but once a bottle (2 gallons in my case) has been opened, does it need to be refrigerated if keeping long term? I am sure it will take a long long time to use up that much distilled water in my hummy! hahahaha

What is the recommendation?, the flat bead case or the round bead humidifier from Heartfelt?
