So, you’ve just unboxed your brand-new humidor. Exciting, right? But now you’re wondering, “What next?” Don’t worry—you’re not alone! Whether you’re new to owning a humidor or a seasoned cigar smoker taking the leap into cigar collection, this guide has you covered.

Many cigar enthusiasts, even experienced ones, often ask why their humidor seems to dry out their cigars or how to prepare it for use. Relax, because with just a little time and these simple steps, you’ll have your humidor perfectly seasoned and ready to keep your cigars in pristine condition.

Step 1: Why Seasoning Your Humidor Is Non-Negotiable

Your humidor’s cedar interior is key to maintaining your cigars’ quality, but it needs a little love before it can do its job. This preparation process—known as seasoning or curing—is crucial to ensure the wood holds humidity properly. Skipping this step? Bad idea! Without seasoning, the wood will draw moisture out of your cigars, leaving them dry and brittle.

The good news? There’s an easy, hassle-free way to season your humidor: Boveda Seasoning Sachets.

The simplest and most reliable method is using Boveda Seasoning Sachets. They’re mess-free, stress-free, and ideal for beginners and pros alike. Here’s how to use them:

1. Start with an empty humidor. Unbox your humidor and make sure it’s completely clean and dry.
2. Place the Boveda Seasoning Sachet inside. No need to overthink it—just pop it in!
3. Wait patiently for 14 days. Yes, leave it closed for a full two weeks.

That’s it! After 14 days, remove the seasoning sachet and replace it with a Boveda Humidity Sachet to maintain the perfect humidity for your cigars.
