It's finally here. My humidor arrived yesterday afternoon. I am just setting it up today.
I ordered the Starter Kit from Tampa Humidor. Great kit for those that, like me, are just starting out in the world of cigars. It has everything: humidor, hygrometer, humidifier, ashtray, and double guillotine cutter. I added some engraving and a digital hygro. I have two right know, since I ordered one for my best friend (and best man at my wedding) who's becoming a Doctor in a few weeks.
Anyways, the construction is solid. The wood is beautiful. I strongly recommend Tampa Humidor. I ordered the humi late thursday night and received it wednesday. Very fast, IMHO.
I also ordered their Mega Mild Sampler to have something to put in the humi. Can't wait to start smokin'!!!
Anyways, I have a few questions that I hope other BOTL/SOTL can answer:

Anyways, I have a few questions that I hope other BOTL/SOTL can answer:
- The humidifier has no instructions. Does this come prefilled? Do I need to fill it? I noticed that it turns about a 1/4". Is this for humidity adjustment?
- To get the humidity in place before storing my smokes, I placed a damp distilled water paper cloth inside. Is this ok? What would you recommend?
- Is there a way to make my own activator solution? I read that its 50/50 distilles water and PG (propylene glycol). Can you buy this PG somewhere and then mix with the dist. water?
