My humidor came in the mail today and I am not sure on how to prep it. I would appreciate any help, thank you.

Everyone will say this is wrong.  It probably is.  I've prepped a couple dozen humidors, either for myself or when I build some for friends in my wood shop.  I wipe the hell out of the inside with RO water on a paper towel, close, and set aside.  A few hours later, repeat.  Next day, repeat in the morning and evening.  When that is absorbed on the third day, I put the cigars in.

I've always had them stay at the right humidity right after that.

It's wrong, yet works.

Oh yeah, leave the damp paper towel in here for about a day. After squeezing out excess water.
