Assuming your humidor has a capacity of between 40 and 80, the first thing you need to do is throw the instructions away. Remove the hygrometer and what ever device they supplied to create humidity, and throw them away. You are now on your way to smoking more, and being frustrated less.

Buy a combination digital thermometer/hygrometer. Buy a couple of jars of humidification jell (or beads). they release the humidity at a specified rate. I keep the cap off of one and should the digital gauge indicate the levels getting low I remove the other cap. Some times of the year you might be capping both jars. You will find the level where cigars smoke the best. The ideal combo is 70/70. 70% humidity and 70 degrees F. You will learn that humidity levels will fluctuate based on the temp. Since the temp is usually something you cannot control, (you would not lower the temp in your entire home to 70 degrees when your normal summer setting is 76 degrees) you only need to know this: as the temp rises, so will your humidity. So, if your temp is 76 , 70% will be too much humidity.

Do not rub the inside of the humidor with water. Allow the jars to work inside your humidor for at least a week before putting cigars in it. 2 weeks is better. Only use distilled water to refill the jars. Don't store the humidor where it can receive direct sunlight. Inside a cabinet or closet is best. Do not store "flavored" and regular cigars in the same humidor. Don't buy a box of anything until you know you like it. Buy samplers. My last bit of advice - There is no such thing as a one dollar cigar... life is too short. Only buy the ones you enjoy.
