Congratulations on your purchase of a Prometheus desktop humidor! Prometheus has been producing humidors since 1995 and our time-tested reputation for quality and modern classic designs are well known among the most discerning cigar connoisseurs worldwide. We have taken great care in designing and producing our Prometheus humidors in order to ensure that it gives our customers years of reliable and enjoyable usage. They are carefully handmade with an attention to the highest quality by our master artisans. It is uncommon that some of our users have inherited their humidors from their grandfather or father.
When you are ready to humidify your humidor, open the sealed plastic bag to take out the Optima humidifier. Place the Optima in a container filled with about two inches (5 centimeters) of distilled water, and as shown in the below pictures, let it float in distilled water face down for about 2 - 5 minutes. The foam inside your Optima humidifier will absorb distilled water. Please do not push down the Optima to submerge in distilled water because it will cause air bubbles to form inside the foam. Also, do not leave your Optima humidifier in distilled water for too long (more than 5 minutes). The special care solution, with which your Optima humidifier was treated, will get diluted in water, and your Optima will lose its effectiveness. If you wish, you can also pour distilled water through the slots on the front face of the Optima.
Prometheus desktop humidors come with Prometheus Hygro 3 (digital hygrometer with thermometer and date/time). Attach it to the preinstalled magnet inside of the humidor. USER MANUAL FOR PROMETHEUS HYRO 3 (PDF)
If you are setting up your Prometheus humidor for the first time, monitor the humidity level daily until the humidity level stabilizes at 70%. This will take about five to seven days. Raise the humidity level in your humidor gradually. If you wipe the interior veneer with distilled water in order to increase the humidity rapidly, it will shock the wood of your humidor and can cause your humidor lid to warp.
Once the relative humidity level reaches 70%, you can put your cigars in the humidor.
