OK so a friend is gifting me a small humi. he had laying around. One problem he had acids in it. Is there a way to make it safe to put some of my sticks in it?

I don't know if I would use it, you could try airing it out for a few weeks and see how it does. But I would most likely burn it.

If it stinks of Acids - gift it to someone who would like it.

Mitch's idea is pretty good too, but I would stash it somewhere & forget about it for a while to make sure the smell was gone before I put anything else in it.

Absolutely nothing you do will extract strong musty or flavor odors from a humidor. Squid® has tried this professionally on at least six boxes to no avail. Use the box to keep your collection of cutters and accessories.

I used to keep pipe tobacco in a humi and the same thing has happened. I tried to sand the interior, wash it, etc. Nothing will get the smell out that I know off...

You now have the perfect Acid humidor. Someone out there is loving Acids and looking for that baby. Pass it on.

Some friend! :rofl:
Coming from the guy who has a bunch of Tabak Especial's on hand. :grinFU:

I had a problem with a humi a friend got, he wanted me to season it. I tried wiping it down with denatured alcohol. It seemed to work well, All I can say is to try it.
