Hi folks.
I did search to see if I was covering old territory, and could not find this. So I am going to share it with you
I do have several Humidors (too many :angry: )
Both the box in a box type, and the veneered cedar type.
Applies only after proper effort at seasoning.
Sometimes, with the box in box type, if you are very careful (watch out for polyurethane build up at the inside corners for humidors with heavy poly surface finishes)
You can remove the floating cedar slabs, lift up the bottom slab (floor), and place shims, made from the cedar dividing sheets of your cigar boxes, under the floor. This effectively raises the whole lower half of the cedar compartment, diminishing the gap between the lower and upper halves.
Again, if the cedar is the floating type of inner box, and you have to be very careful to gently pull with equal tension keeping the sides perpendicular and parallel to the outer box.
Hope that comes in handy for some folks.
