...Also what would you recocommend if I don't plan on smoking some for a few months: taking the cigars out of their wrappers and into a humidor; with the wrapper in the humidor; or just leave in the wrapper?

Just got a box of 25 Monte Cristo No. 1s. I need to get a humidor-how long will it take for my cigars to dry out if they remain in the sealed box wrapped in a plastic bag? Also-any advice for buying a humidor?

My humidor has small container with florist foam which is soaked, but I still have to put a sponge in the humidor and I have not been able to get the humidity above 65%. I did season it by wiping it with a damp sponge. Any suggestions?

I am low and cannot make it to get more "distilled water" but I have Zephyrhills bottled water and was curious if that would throw the balance off in the humidor?
