Default Re: Seasoning question -- different from the usual...

If you like the idea of Boveda packs, keep in mind that you can refill/recharge them... the process is basically the same as seasoning your humidor.

Put the packs in a Tupperware alongside a smaller container of distilled water and, over the course of a couple of weeks, the packs will absorb the distilled water until they're nice and floppy again. I let a small sandwich size Tupperware hold 2 Boveda packs and float in distilled water in a larger Tupperware, which seems to give plenty of surface area for the water.

Buy twice as many packs as your humidor needs and you can always have a set in the humidor and another either re-charging or ready to go. The only caveat is you're likely to over-charge the packs compared to new ones, so they won't be able to absorb moisture above their indicated RH at first. If you use 65% packs and aren't prone to spikes in RH, this shouldn't really be a problem.
