Third step: Moistening the humidor

The inner walls of the humidor, dividers and trays should be wiped off with a cloth moistened with distilled water.
Place a glass filled with distilled water in the humidor and leave it for three days in the closed humidor. If the glass of water is heated beforehand in the microwave, the water will be absorbed more quickly and the humidor will be operational after only about a day. The inner walls of the humidors should now have absorbed sufficient humidity.
