ive ordered three Spanish cedar shelfs for my winador cooler. What do I need to do to them prior to placing them in the winador? Wipe them down lightly with distilled water?
Thanks, Pug

Michael, in your opinion, how many sticks will that keep happy?
I agree with Scap, put them in one at a time to acclimate. You could add a new sponge soaked with distilled water and place it on the shelf with a water barrier (I make a small tray from aluminum foil).ive ordered three Spanish cedar shelfs for my winador cooler.

Then watch the overall humidity of the cab to make sure it doesn't get too high. But in my experience, that wood will suck most all the moisture out of the sponge before it can over humidify the whole cabinet. When the humility starts to spike up you'll know the wood is close to fully humidified. If the humidity get too high then pull the sponge and abort.
I wouldn't add any water bowls if the humidor is holding cigars. Given the humidity in Texas right now, I'd imagine the shelves ought to pretty hydrated just from being in the open air. I can't imagine your cigars getting sucked dry, especially with the Boveda packets. But you could also aclimate the shelves inside a sealed container or trash bag and then put them in all at once.
103/43 has a dew point of 76.Michael, believe it or not, humidity ( 43% right now ) is not the problem, 103° is my personal problem. Hurry October.

Drop that wood to 76*F and it will sweat.
