To get started may be the hardest part as you have to know the exact temperature and environment for storing your cigars. You need to get started with taking a cup of distilled water in a bowl. Dip a piece of cotton in the water and then wring it completely. Try to wipe the inside area of the humidors so that you may actually remove all the dust and wood shavings along with other unwanted debris. After that you need to fill another bowl with distilled water and place it inside the humidors and then try to shut the case tightly. You may have to check the water nearly after twelve hours so that you come to know how much of the water has actually evaporated from the humidors.

Now you can try to take the humidifiers that are plastic caps usually round and disc shaped, from the humidors and then you may have to place them in a bowl of warm water. Let it to get saturated for at least fifteen minutes and then allow them to dry completely after wiping them with towel. You have to be sure that they never get bone dry or else you may spoil the cigars. You always have to be sure that the water does not drip in the humidors when they are placed in their respective holders.

You have to be sure that all the  ">Humidors  and caps and other cigar accessories are placed together. So let them settle for around 30 minutes before you start placing your favorite cigars in the humidors. In case you are aware then you can also make use of hygrometer which is a gauge that easily rests in liquid. You have to be sure that the humidity is maintained between 69% to 72% so that your cigars don’t get damped or dry.

In case you feel that the humidity is too high then you certainly may have to empty the entire humidors and then you may have to place half teaspoon full of propylene glycol to the bowl of distilled water even before you can place it in the humidors. This certainly will allow to lower the humidity level and maintain perfect environment for your cigars. In case it may be low you have to be sure that you resoak it once again and repeat the entire procedure.
