So I got this 120ct desktop. I threw in 4 Boveda seasoning bags and after 1 day it says its 75% in there on the digital that I set with the one step pack. Do I have to wait 10 days before sticking cigars in there?

I would, casue I doubt the wood has acctually absorbed the moisture yet. Let them run their course, it is a good system and should be followed.

....and you do realize that right now the only thing absorbing the moisture from the Boveda packets is the humidor, you will see a change in the hygrometer reading once you put 75 or so cigars in it.

But I do agree with my asteemed collegues that you should wait the required amount of time for the humidor to be properly seasoned.

The guys are right, you gotta wait. Also I'm sure hanging around here long enough that sucker will be full in no time.
You mean I was supposed to wait to fill it up? I already bought enough cigars to fill it up waiting for it to arrive. I have about 100 sticks here already or on their way here from purchases over the last few days. I have issues, I filled up a humidor I didn't even have yet. :) I should have just jumped right into the vinotemp.

I kind of figured I would fill it quick. But we already had plans on adding a built-in wine fridge in the kitchen so I might get a built-in humidor also in the same spot. We were going to do a floor-ceiling fridge, but I may steal some space for the humidor.

I am a sick individual. I filled my 120ct desktop already, so I bought a 16 bottle Avanti off ebay today. Got a pretty good deal, I hope I did at least, $54 shipped. It was an open box return. Anyone know how much this thing will hold? I had to do something as I have 2 more boxes and about 20 singles still coming in. :)

That will hold at least six-10 boxes. Good buy for $54. Enjoy filling it up.

I've the 28 and can get a grip of boxes in there if you play tetris long enough
