Factory Odor Removal
Wash the interior of the cooler with a mild detergent and warm water. Make sure to not
get the wood wet. leave the door open and allow it to air dry thoroughly. If a „plastic"
smell persists, place a dish of baking soda in the unit or stuff the cooler with newspapers
overnight. When finished, let the unit run a full day to complete the airing out process.
Drawer Set-Up
The drawers and shelves included with this cooler are designed to sit flush with the front
edge of the cabinet. This will allow air to circulate freely through the unit. When inserting
the drawers and shelves, avoid pushing them all the way against the rear wall of the
cabinet.
Seasoning Your Cigar Cooler
It is best to season your wood shelves and drawers before adding your cigars so that
the wood is at an ideal relative humidity (RH) and does not absorb humidity from your
cigars. To season your new cigar cooler:
• Add distilled water to the included moisture container or add a sponge that is damp
with distilled water. Make sure that the water is not touching the wood directly or
this may damage the wood.
• Allow the moisture container, or other humidity-adding device, to sit in the cooler
until it reaches a relative humidity of 5% higher than your preferred level. This
process may take as long as 3 days but is the best way to ensure your cigars stay
optimal.
• Once the cooler reaches this mark, you can begin to add cigars. You may add a
few at a time in order to monitor the RH and make sure it stays at a level you want it
at. If it drops too much, you can use the same seasoning method to bring it back up.
During this entire process, it is recommended to not open the door unnecessarily, as
this lets moisture escape and can delay the process.
