Hello,

I've posted here just a couple of times but I've got a few questions that I would appreciate if someone answered.

1) I have a humidor (holds about 75 cigars) that hasn't been used in about a year. I plan to restock it and use Heartfelt beads (65% RH). Do I have to season the humidor again since it hasn't been used in awhile?

2) How do I go about rehumidifying the humidor. Do I simply just place the beads in the humidor with the cigars (I plan to start with about 25)? Or do I place the beads in, let them sit awhile and then add the cigars?

3) I have never used the beads before, in the past I've used the propylene glycol solution which I found to be ineffective. How long will the beads keep their effectiveness, roughly?

Thanks for the help.
