After you purchase a beautiful new humidor, there is one more step before you can start storing your favorite smokes, the seasoning process. The seasoning process is crucial to preserving cigars and if skipped, the humidor’s cedar interior will actually rob the moisture from your cigars and ruin them. To ensure your cigars stay fresh, just follow these six easy steps:
- Wipe the inside of the humidor – With a new sponge or cloth, wipe the entire interior of your humidor, including the lid and any trays with distilled water. Do not use any other type of water.
- Place a wet sponge inside – Once you wipe down the inside, place a wet sponge on top of a plastic bag inside the humidor. Do not lay the sponge down directly on the wood and make sure it is not oversaturated with water.
- Fill your humidifier – Fill your humidifier with distilled water and place inside the humidor.
- Close the lid and wait – Close the lid to your humidor (with sponge and humidifier inside) and wait 24 hours.
- Repeat – Remove the sponge and repeat the wipe down procedure in step 1. Close the lid and wait another 24 hours. Do not leave sponge inside this time.
- Start using your humidor – Your new Craftsman’s Bench humidor should be ready for use now. Feel free to load it up with your favorite JC Newman Cigars and enjoy a smoke for all your hard work. (If the cedar inside feels damp wait one more day before storing.)

How to cut a cigar?
Few things can ruin a perfect cigar quicker than a poor cut. When opening the head of your cigar to smoke, it is crucial that the cut be made with a quick, decisive motion with a sharp tool. A high quality cigar cutter, cigar scissor, or cigar punch is essential. Try different cutting accessories to determine whether you prefer a single or double blade guillotine, V-cutter, a grip cutter, punch, or scissors. Remember to hold the cigar loosely but with a firm grip (not to crush the cigar) and barely snip the end of the cigar off to keep the cigar from unrolling.
