I just got me one of those limited edition CAO Sopranos humidors.
I started the seasoning process around 1PM (Wiped it down lightly, layed a damp/nearly-dry rag on the surfaces for a few hours, then replaced that with a bowl of distilled water and my humidification jar).
By the time it hit 7PM, my (calibrated) digital hygrometer was reading the humidor at 72% humidity.
I thought this was strange...I would never have thought that a humidor would level out so quickly, but it stayed steady there for hours.
I put in some cigars that I didn't care too much about, and after a few more hours, it was steady at 70%.
I just want to make sure that my humidor is actually ready to go, not just that my hygrometer is lying to me.
My guess is this humidor might be used. Looking it up online, apparently it originally came with a bunch of cigars. That, and the "A" on the CAO embelishment on the humidor is worn off. If this was a used humidor, would that have made the seasoning process go quicker?
