i have a cigar jar on the way, how do i set it up?

glass doesnt need season the same way wood does.

in theory you should be able to fill the humidification device and you are ready to go.

Cigarweilder,
I'd agree with Kuzi.
But, I'd also recommend that you get a digital hygrometer, and of course salt test it to determine it's accuracy. Then, find somewhere to put that sucker in the jar so you can keep tabs on the atmosphere inside. That should keep those precious smokes in top smoking condition with no worries!

Becarefull with the cigar jars. You may not need that much humidification. it is a completely sealed enviorment. If you have to much water in there the cigars could be to wet.

I personally woul not use a cigar jar for any type of storage other then as a place to keep what I will be smoking within a day or so. You should definitly get your self a humidor that you could use for longer storage and ageing. Just my .02

I would suggest getting a small tube of heartfelt beads to regulate rh. They, being active humidifiers, will protect against over humidification as well as too low humidity. You're going to need to open that thing relatively often(at least every few days) to get some air exchange. I agree with the above opinion that this is a poor long term storage idea. you would be better served with a good humidor or, my favorite, a good coolerdor. I use a 54 qt igloo cooler with 1/2 lb. heartfelt beads at 65% rh to store my high end collectable cigars. I can't have more than $50 invested. Also Boveda, makes a nice hygrometer testing kit for @ $7 that includes one of thier 75% humipaks with a baggy to verify the accuracy of your equipment. very easy to use.

Cheers!
