This prevents the cigars closest to the humidification source from absorbing too much and becoming over-saturated. Don't Overfill. For the best environment possible, only use 75-80% of the humidor's total capacity in order to ensure the air and humidity can circulate. Humidor Loosing Humidity Cleaning Humidor Mold 1 - Is your hygrometer reliable? Has it been calibrated? 2 - Does your humidor have a leak? 3 - Has your humidor been seasoned properly before general use? 4 - Ensure you don't leave the lid open unnecessarily. 5 - Has regular maintenance been done? 6 - Is the humidor's location suitable? Exposure to sun and heat will evaporate the humidity. 7 - How many cigars are being stored in the humidor? 8 - Were there any dried out cigars added? Dried out cigars will soak in more humidity and throw off the overall level of the humidor. 1 - Remove all cigars. 2 - Discard moldy cigars. Place any mold free cigars in an air-tight container with a Boveda pack. 3 - Discard humidification device and replace it. Doing this ensures the bacteria creating the mold is not being put back into the humidor. 4 - Thoroughly vacuum the humidor. 5 - Gently sand the interior where the mold has grown using #150 extra-fine grit. Wooden humidors have a thin wall of cedar, be careful not to sand too deep. If the mold is deep into the cedar layer, replacing the humidor may be a better option. Vacuum the humidor again when finished. 6 - Sterilize the interior with isopropyl alcohol, use just enough to wet the surface. The alcohol will kill any mold spores. 7 - Wipe down the interior again with 100% steamed distilled water, this will remove any alcohol that got trapped in the crevasses. Leave the humidor open for a couple days to fully dry. 8 - Re-season the humidor, following all steps as if the humidor was brand new. 9 - Once 70% RH is reached, wait a minimum of 2 weeks and monitor the humidor for any signs of mold growth. 10 - If the mold does not come back, return cigars to the humidor. It's a safer idea to put a fresh batch of cigars in the humidor, any cigars saved from the mold should be kept isolated to not reintroduce mold bacteria to the humidor.
