Wife bought me a nice humidor and cigars for Christmas.

I've been monitering the humidity, its always been stable at 70 according to the analog gauge.

Discovered the other day that some of the cigars on the lower level, nearest the humidifier thingy, had some fuzzy mold on them!

I tossed them just to be safe. Wiped the inside of the humidor down and let it air out for a few days.

Now, I have a few questions:

1. Why did they get moldy? How can I prevent it from happening?

2. How should I condition the humidor? There is a lot of conflicting info out there. Some say to wipe it down/soak the interior with distilled water. Others say that is crazy, will damage the wood. I tend to agree with the latter. Thus far, I've put a dish of water in it and closed the top, that's it.

3. Some sites say to recharge the humidifier with a 50/50 blend of distilled water and polypropene glycol, The PG will help keep the right humidity. Sounds ok to me, but where does one buy PG?

Any other tips?
